Eric Hoglund

Eric has strong ties to the San Francisco Bay Area and Benicia in particular. A resident of Benicia since 1977, Eric is a graduate of St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School and the California Maritime Academy. Eric began his professional career on the bridge of tanker and freighter vessels sailing as a Third Mate around the Pacific Rim and Persian Gulf and later as a Tug Boat Operator in Alaska and the Bay Area. In 1996, Eric moved ashore taking a position with the largest shipping company in the world in their Oakland Container Facility as a Stevedoring Manager. and later as a Regional Account Manager for import and export logistics sales for eleven western states and a wide range of companies ranging from small family run operations to Fortune 500 companies.

Extensive overseas travel and extended periods away from home and family caused Eric to make a career change and Estey Real Estate became his new home. Knowing the importance of education, and a desire to be the best at whatever he set his mind to do, Eric has earned additional real estate designations. Designations are more than just little letters behind a person’s name on a business card, they are a symbol knowledge, commitment, and dedication to the Real Estate Profession. As a Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI) Eric has extensive in-depth knowledge of the Real Estate Transaction from start to finish. Only 10% of the REALTOR®s nationwide have earned this designation which indicates the personal and financial commitment needed to complete the course of study. He has also completed is designation for Senior Real Estate Service (SRES) making him an expert in serving senior and Baby Boomer clients in any community. In addition to the above Eric is currently President of the Contra Costa County Chapter of National Association of Property Managers and has nearly completed a 2 year program in Property Management which will make him a certified Residential Property Management Professional (RMP). One should gather that his enthusiasm and commitment to excellence as a Real Estate Professional is second to none. Being community focused, both personally and professionally, is a passion for Eric and his family. Whether working with local kids as the Youth Services Chair for the Benicia Rotary Club, or just lending a hand at his local church, Eric is always looking for ways to help and improve his community.
