"I'd recommend her for the rest of my life." is an actual quote my wife used when commenting on how good our real estate agent, Erica, was during our home buying experience. Erica is the definition of someone who went above and beyond reasonable expectations for us. Someone you definitely want in your corner advocating for you during a housing purchase. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and personable, she'll go the extra mile and then some for you. Can't recommend her enough.

Erica went above and beyond to help us find our home. Great communicator, very knowledgeable, and punctual. She always looked out for my husband and I in securing the best options and not letting other people bully us into a price or deal we weren’t happy with. Highly recommend for the best home buying experience.

Erica is one of the great ones—and now, thankfully, a friend too! From day one, she was knowledgeable, on it, and seriously one of the most organized people I’ve ever met. She walked us through every step of the process and clearly explained upcoming costs so we could mentally (and financially) prepare—no surprises, no stress spirals.

She scheduled and timed our home walkthroughs like a mad scientist in the best way possible. She has great advice on what the space can and even better at taking what you're looking for into account Everything was efficient, intentional, and perfectly planned. When we finally found the house we knew was the one, she made it happen the same day. Yes, the SAME day! She placed the offer placed, and within a couple of days we were officially under contract.

We’ve now closed, and thanks to Erica, we have our very own home. I can’t recommend her enough—professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients. You can't go wrong working with Erica!

Working with Erica was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She came to our very first meeting fully prepared, with detailed market comparisons and pricing information for my area, even before we had officially signed a contract. That level of professionalism and initiative really stood out to me.

Throughout the entire process, she communicated clearly, responded quickly to any questions I had, and made sure I always felt informed and supported. She’s not only knowledgeable and organized but also kind, personable, and genuinely fun to be around.

Everything went incredibly smoothly thanks to her expertise and dedication. I’m so grateful for the experience and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great REALTOR®

I had an incredible experience working with Erica to find my new home. She took me to several showings, she answered all of my questions and when we found the house for me she worked diligently to make sure I got it. All the while, she was fun and professional. I referred her to my daughter and she too found her perfect place with Erica's assistant. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor.

Erica was there 100% from the beginning to the end. She took into consideration all of my needs and wants in becoming a first time homebuyer and went above and beyond. She eased my fears, found a place where I am able to call home for the first time and was available around the clock to answer questions, ease concerns and make the process simple.

I absolutely love working with Erica! She is super patient and genuinely cares about making sure you find the right home for you! From the first spot we visited, she started taking mental notes of the things that I was and wasn’t looking for then immediately tailoring my search right after that. She doesn’t make you feel pressured and really makes the experience fun & exciting.

One thing I really liked and appreciated from working with her specifically is that based on my criteria, she’ll do extra digging and ask a lot of difficult questions about the property that I may be hesitant to ask or just wouldn’t think of. “I want you to be happy with your home” she’d say with a smile.

I highly recommend working with her!

We wanted to share our great experience selling our property with Erica Rivera. This was our third time going through a transaction of this sort having bought twice and this would be our first sale. Due to our past experiences we decided to interview Realtors before commiting to anyone because we wanted someone that was energetic and pro-active since we have felt in the past that we were doing the realtor's job. We came across Erica and met at our house, from the first meeting we felt her energy. Actually felt like this wasn't the first time working together.
Once this journey started we actually realized we had made a great choice in our decision to work with Erica. After 24 hours of our house in the market we had booked the WHOLE week of tours and to our amazement every day we had qualifying offers. We decided to not accept anymore tours after that week since on the first day we had a $260k offer with the buyers willing to put cash over appraisal, which our asking price was $243k.
To put this in perspective there was no comparables in our area selling for more than $235k with only one home sold at $240k in the last year. Even two houses in our block with the same exact floor plan of our house sold for $235k. We certainly were nervous our home wasn't going to appraise and were ready to not accept anything under our asking price. Even through this, Erica's confidence didn't seemed to bend. Even when we expressed our plans of not accepting anything under asking price Erica's response was always "I work for you" and at the same time never sugar coated anything, honesty goes a long way in a transaction this important. We never felt pressured to do something we weren't comfortable with. Appraisal day came and certainly was a nervous day for us. Erica made sure to be at the appraisal prepared and ready to work. After two days we received a message we had to read twice! Our house was appraised at the whole offer!! Erica Rivera had made our house the most expensive 3bd/ 1bath house in the whole area selling for not just $17k over asking price but $25k over anyone else in our area!!
Glad to say that we had found our family realtor and our days of shopping for a realtor are over!!

Omg! Where do I start! She did a fantastic job helping with find and look for properties. When I contacted her I was located in San Diego, thinking of moving back to Chicago to be closer to family and friends. She was super responsive to my questions, especially the ones about being an out of state buyer, and even since there was a time difference between us, she wa prompt with emails and text responses. She was organized and efficient with setting showings for us and a blast to spend time with as we drove between the showings. It’s obvious she knows the Chicago area market and gave me tons of tips about neighborhoods and what to look for in each place and in each area. She nailed what i was looking for too, and we only saw places that actually appealed to me, instead of wasting time with places that would not be a fit. I’ve worked with other agents and they are pushy, unorganized, snotty, or tough to talk to socially, but Erica was genuinely kind, knowledgeable and easy to work with

I’ve never bought a house. The process always scared me, fully and wholly. When I asked a long time friend, Erica Rivera, to take me under her wing for this purchase, a larger than life weight was immediately lifted off my shoulders. Erica was, as she always been, a beacon of hope and knowledge; one who always answered my ‘how am I buying a house right now?!’ panic questions with reassurance and insight. I never felt out of my depth, or left without answers. She explained every step of way, slowly and encouraging – exactly what I needed.
It took a few times for a seller to grab an offer of ours. Erica gave us confidence, always with a smile and a joke about how HOT the market is, that we will find out dream house. And we did!
I honestly have zero clue how I would have gotten through this insanely tedious process without the help and guidance of Erica. Her always needed honesty and candor helped in more ways than I can count, and I will be ever grateful for her, and her team, to make our new house a house, and make our old home feel like everyone was welcome.
