Let's face it, lately real estate agents have been taking a beating on real estate forums, For Sale By Owner websites and news sites that feature a 'real estate' section where subscribers have free reign to write their feelings.  In most cases, I think some of the feedback and hostility is justified.  When the market was good -- everyone was an agent.  Did it mean that they were all good?  Nope.  You might have seen (or participated in) some of the lashings that agents are getting in social and interactive media today. 

 

Some of my favorites include:

 

-      “If you want to find the best agent, find the one that lies the best”

-      “They’re self-serving prima-donna that only care about the money”

-      “I would rather let Bernie Madoff sell my house than a REALTOR”

-      “Why do they put their picture on their cards?  Who are they, the Hollywood elite?”

 

 

But the reality is, there are good agents out there.  One’s that say what they mean and they mean everything they say.  They’re hard working people that enjoy helping people buy or sell a home.  With my experience in the industry, you can rest assured I’m not after the profits of the sale of your home or looking to stuff you into some house because it paid more than the one you really liked.  I hope the feedback and testimonials from my past clients will help you understand my commitment to you and your needs.

Testimonials

"Eric was exactly what we were looking for in an agent when we were selling our home.  His insight of technology and his approach to selling our house was different than all of the other agents we talked to." - Rich and Megan Bagby

"Thank you for finding the perfect home for us!" - Chris and Jodie Spradlin

"I couldn't be happier with the way you sold my home" - Jan Bolton

"As an advocate for his clients, Eric is simply the best I have ever worked with. And I have a list of clients that would echo my feelings. Eric and I have worked together on several occasions. Often the lender/Realtor relationship is cordial at best, but with Eric I feel like I have a teammate, and that directly translates into a great experience for the client. Eric seems comfortable in any setting, but he is fantastic in higher-end situations where his clients expect him to be genteel in his presentation and yet tough in negotiations. Ask him about the young couple in Yukon. It would take too long to account here, but Eric took what could have been a horrible situation and turned it into the most lopsided victory for his buyers that I have ever seen. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric Richardson, and I'd love to have him on my side of the table for every deal."  - Chris Mountford, Countrywide Home Loans

"Eric expertly responded to my needs in record time. He is patient, professional and exceeded my expectations! I am looking forward to the opportunity to refer a client to you in your market. Thank you Eric!" - Kay Korbel, REALTOR

"You once told me that selling a home was like landing a B-52 on a blade of grass... thank you for a perfect landing." - Rose Rubio

"I wanted to say thank you for your help.  Recently I wrote into Zillow to find out if there was a way to sell my home without the use of an agent.  You were the ONLY one that wrote me back and gave me tips and suggestions.  You didn't slam me for not using one.  You didn't solicit me for my business.  You took the time to help me and I appreciate that.  It's nice to have an honest agent out there." - Kevin Bolton
