She has tons of experience with design and with that is able to help clients with seeing potential in many properties along with getting a home ready to sell.

This was our third transaction with Erica. She did an amazing job of listening to what we needed and then putting a plan in action to accomplish our goal. She was persistent on our behalf and always professional. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell today.
SELLERS - DOVER SHORES
Erica Thomas was the best choice we made when selling our home! She truly helped make our dreams come true. She provided the excellent personal service we were looking for. On top of the wonderful experience, Erica's selling strategy got us multiple offers well above asking in just 48 hours and with only ONE open house. I would high recommend Erica to EVERYONE who is trying to purchase or sell a home.
SELLER — THE NEYPES
My partner and I had a house for sale in Eastside Costa Mesa with another agent and had no luck selling. We switched over to Erica and she got us an offer the first weekend having an open house and the house closed a painless escrow in 10 days! She was a pleasure to work with and was extremely knowledgeable. We look forward to working with Erica again soon!

Erica is nothing short of amazing. She helped me sell two homes while also helping me to buy the home I currently reside in. I especially appreciated the way she worked with me; making things quick & simple. Erica has great work ethic, enthusiasm, & knowledge of the business. I will work with her again. She's the best SELLER
Working with Erica Thomas was an absolute dream. Selling, packing, moving and all the stress and changes that come with selling a home were hugely mitigated by Erica. She was such a pleasure to work with, so easy going and yet extremely helpful. She is a real pro who anticipates her clients needs, is constantly checking in, encouraging you along the way and helping you at every turn. Erica has a love and enthusiasm for what she does and for people and she somehow manages to make a very stressful process fun and exciting. She has a fabulous formula that works for selling homes. It is fun to watch her in action as her background in retail and sales makes her even more amazing and, in her element, selling and staging homes. We are so grateful to Erica and think she is the absolute BEST!!!

Let’s focus on what matters most to you: the value of your property, its position in the local market, and, ultimately, its price. Our goal is to understand your expectation and help you meet it in the most expedient and effective way possible. Correct pricing at the beginning typically achieves the best result, so we will present a thorough comparative market analysis (CMA) that will help us arrive at an optimal and agreeable solution in hopes of achieving the highest price for your property.
Properties that are overpriced initially may ultimately sell for the lowest price
