I moved to Austin from Salt Lake City in late 2011 for a new job. I knew I wanted to purchase, but didn't want to buy until I felt comfortable with the city. Being close to restaurants, concerts, etc was important to me, and central Austin is a lot to wrap your head around, if you're not familiar with it. Eric did a great job explaining the different neighborhoods, and showing me properties in pretty much every central neighborhood that fit my price range. He was patient, available, and professional. I settled on East Austin and found a place I wanted in June. At this point, there were a lot of properties with multiple offers going under contract in the first couple of days. The house I wanted was only 1 day on the market, and there were other agents showing it when we viewed it first. Eric helped me put together an offer that the seller accepted without offering over asking price, and without waiting to see if other offers would come in. We offered them extremely attractive terms (they were pregnant and we gave them a seller lease back to help with the move) and they accepted immediately, and even threw in the fridge! When we had the property inspected, there were minor issues to be expected, and we were able to negotiate a credit for a couple of items that I wanted fixed. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier with my house, and with Eric's performance. I will happily recommend him to anyone I know searching for a home.
