Testimonials

a year ago

Eric was a great help to us as we bought our home back in 2016 and then during our sale in 2022. He helped answer any questions we had promptly and clarified any confusing parts for us. He also helped us map out a timeline so we could schedule contracting work, staging, and cleaning in the lead-up to listing, and he was communicative with us and prospective buyers proactively. We'd recommend working with him, and we're glad we did!

We had a incredible and seamless experience with Eric Halstrom who has great knowledge of the city and local market. Eric was knowledgeable, kind and patient. We were first time home buyers and Eric walked us through the process in a way that we could easily understand which made it all a lot less stressful. Eric is a great listener and consistent in all his communication and follow up. We can't recommend Eric enough.

Eric was tremendous in helping me secure my first home. Very knowledgeable about the area, quickly adapted to any adjustments in desire I had, and was very flexible about when he was available for touring. He also helped me greatly in the financial aspect of it, introducing me to a lender that offered half a point less on my interest rate than what my bank was offering (bank turned around and bought my mortgage soon after closing anyway, so a free half point for nothing).
