We first met Nora at an open house that she was coordinating for another realtor. Having visited several open houses that day, we were hitting the wall. And yet, Nora somehow reinvigorated us. It wasn't the right house for us, but we knew Nora was the right realtor. We began making plans to return and Nora was with us every step of the way. She blocked out almost an entire weekend and she and Breanna maintained excellent contact with us. They shared ideas, suggestions, and even personal experiences that validated our decision to work with them. Our house hunting weekend proved to be longer than expected and neither realtor faltered. In fact, they went out of their way on more than one occasion to make certain we were having the best possible experience. With their knowledge of the market and their genuine love for the community, Nora and Breanna guided us skillfully through our offers and counter offers, the inspection process, right through closing. While we may have had moments of doubt or indecision, Nora and Breanna’s commitment and dependability made our search for a new home a true success!

Nora was amazing! I had no idea what I was doing, but I never felt stressed or confused at any point, because she was always one step ahead. I was so impressed with her knowledge, and even the inspectors and the loan officer were impressed too, and couldn’t recommend her enough. I love that she’s super straightforward and will give you honest answers and the best information that she can in order for you to get a home that works for you. She is also very efficient and a great communicator! She set up a search for us, and edited it every time we found that something wasn’t working for us. We were only looking for about a month before we were able to find our home!

Angela was a godsend when we bought our house some 3 years ago. Could not have asked for a more attentive and expedient and communicative realtor and guide through our home buying process. Now, as we sell our home, she has been an invaluable resource and co-conspirator through the difficulties of selling our house. If you are looking for the one, Angela should be at the top of your list.

I purchased a home in December 2023, I chose a realtor that is principled, honest, hardworking, listens, and could mentor me through this process. I'm a first time home buyer later in life, was riddled with fear, just required a little more "hand holding" than most. Angela was patient, kind, understanding and very knowledgeable. I purchased the 3rd house I looked at and moved in one month! Angela was with me every step of the way, for that I am grateful!

Angela sold my Beaverdale home in just a matter of days. Because of her knowledge of the market and her overall expertise in real estate she was able to get me top dollar for my home. She was professional, always accessible and walked me through the entire process as it was unfolding. Angela was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with her in the future. If you're in the market to buy or sell a home look no further than Angela Erickson.

Sarah was fantastic to work with throughout the process of finding our next investment property. She really understood what we were looking for as we continue to grow our rental portfolio and was always quick to answer questions, provide insight, and help us evaluate opportunities. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and patience made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciated having someone we could trust to guide us through every step. Highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to buy real estate, especially investment properties!

Buying and selling a home is a real rollercoaster, and she helped calm our nerves. She was available whenever we had a random question or just needed to talk things through. Sarah was thoughtful and gave us practical things she did to make our lives easier - like dropping off drinks and snacks during the chaos of the move. She focuses on providing the kind of real help that actually matters when you're moving, rather than just the typical cliche gift. She is genuine, understanding, and truly gets the human side of this process. What made working with her even better was knowing our values align. When you're making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, it matters who you're putting your trust (and your money) behind. We were so happy to have her in our corner!

I’ve been working with Sarah for a few years now, and she has helped me sell several properties. She's reliable, steady, and easy to work with, which goes a long way in this business. Communication is consistent, and she handles the details without creating extra work on my end. While no transaction is ever completely stress-free, I can count on her to stay on top of things and get deals across the finish line.

Mike helped my wife and I (and 4 kids) move into our first home rather quickly despite the unfavorable market. He knew the VA Home Loan process and explained everything in great detail. All of our questions and needs were handled quickly. He went above and beyond what I expected from a realtor. Mike truly cares about his clients and their family. I can't put into words how thankful we were to have him as our realtor while purchasing our first home!
