What do Clients Say?

Erin has been amazing to work with. She helped me from the moment she walked through my house by making suggestions on things to remove, paint or just rearrange to help my home look it's best. She was able to bring a buyer in before she even got the photos done. That guy liked the place and we got an offer! I am looking forward to a fast closing thanks to Erin. - Lori M.

Lori Murphy, past seller

Erin stuck with me and this was, by far, the easiest real estate transaction I've ever been involved with (out of 6). She worked very closely with my lender, the title agency, and even coordinated the survey, the inspection, the pest control expert... all I had was good news when we talked. I didn't have to worry about anything because she was on top of everything. In every other real estate transaction I've been involved in there has been some kind of "gotcha" at the 11th hour and I fully expected the same to happen here. No way, Erin was on top of everything and always had an answer before she brought a problem to me. I would not only highly recommend Erin, I would insist on her if I had another transaction. She is a top rate professional in every aspect. -New Homeowner, Tracy.

I would definitely recommend Erin and the Michael Saunders & Company team! This was my first time buying investment property and she came to the initial meeting with very helpful information and explained the process in a way that definitely showed her expertise in real estate. She has all of the connections to get everything done smoothly, from inspections to closings. She helped me buy my first home a few years ago and is currently working to help with another one for me too. She is super responsive, as if you are her only client!

My wife and I have done multiple real estate transactions across the US over the years. Erin is far and away the best agent we have ever worked with. She impressed us!

Erin was a godsend to me when I suddenly found myself having to sell my father's home after he passed away unexpectedly. I am located in upstate New York and with just one phone call Erin was able to assess my needs while I was able to continue with my life. Her approach towards real estate transactions is elegant and thoughtful, always responsive to her client's changing needs and heeding the details. She took time to examine each aspect of my unit to see how it could be improved for staging purposes. She gave me practical suggestions which had a big impact. Additionally, she took time to ensure that professional photographs were taken perfectly from every angle. She carefully guided me on how to proceed so that I would not only get the best price, but also ensure that I would close on my transaction. I look forward to working with her again. I trust her fully and cannot thank her enough for being there for my brother and I. I recommend her to anyone looking to sell a property with the highest regard!
