Erik met with my husband and me for about two hours to just learn about us and what we were looking for. My husband wanted new construction that was move-in ready, I wanted an older home with good bones and character. He talked us through the pros and cons of buying a foreclosure vs a regular sale as well as the lending process. That evening he sent us about 25 listings to start us off with, that ran the spectrum of our needs. He gave us a tool to rate them and to discuss them, which was very helpful. He even humored us when we considered looking in another county, allowing us to work through the pros and cons of price versus quality of life. There were a couple of days when we looked at least 8 different houses and he remained patient through the entire process (even with two kids under the age of 6 running around).

That evening he sent us about 25 listings to start us off with, that ran the spectrum of our needs. He gave us a tool to rate them and to discuss them, which was very helpful. He even humored us when we considered looking in another county, allowing us to work through the pros and cons of price versus quality of life. There were a couple of days when we looked at least 8 different houses and he remained patient through the entire process (even with two kids under the age of 6 running around). Every question we had, he answered. When we found our house, he helped us navigate the process of putting down an offer and countering. He gave us great advice regarding where the seller was at and how flexible they might be. He explained every page of the contract. Once our offer was accepted, he provided vendors to cover all the inspections and walked us through all the necessary steps. He was very thorough in writing out our amendments of what needed to be done prior to us closing, and negotiated all of our needs so that everything we asked for was completed. We have a child with allergies, and he made sure that all the allergy concerns were dealt with, without us even asking. We would text with questions and requests, and he had already thought of it and had it completed or was already in the process of getting it completed. I am a first-time homebuyer, but Erik made the process easy and unthreatening. We've been in our house a little over a month, and every morning I wake up happy! I would gladly recommend the services of Erik Grooms to any home buyer, and in fact, I already have!
Erik did a great job making the buying experience as painless as possible. Once he found out what we were looking for in a home, he gave us great options with the options we wanted. After we found a home, he helped us with finding a great lender, appraiser, and was there with us all the way through the process.
Erik assisted me in selling my home as a short sale transaction. He was there every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his profession. If Erik doesn't have an answer, he finds it. Erik has a vast network of professionals in the field. He is very patient and understanding. In the end, he will make sure that you get the best possible deal and that it is not an extremely stressful or taxing experience. I would use Erik again and again. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a knowledgeable, experienced, professional, realtor.
Erik assisted my wife and me with purchasing our first home and he made the house buying process a breeze! He explained every step of the process and made sure that we understood all the pros and cons of each decision. He took the extra step to explain each possible outcome. You could not ask for a more thorough and knowledgeable realtor, which is exactly the reason why he was our first choice for helping us buy our next home.
