Why do people use Eric more than others?
Eric believes his expertise is in having an extensive background in the area...Chatham County. He strives in finding the right community for his clients, then, and only then, finding the ideal property.
The awards are nice, but my greatest reward is having a satisfied client. There is only one way to do that. Go beyond what they expect
If I have a client that wants something that isn’t available in the area, I’ll refer them to an outside agent. I want the people moving here to be happy with Chatham.
It is embarrassing to show a client a property you are unfamiliar with. There is no downtime in real estate. If you don’t have anything scheduled, go out and look at a listing you have never seen. You’ll never know if that might be the one for a future client.
