I am glad to provide this review for Erika Carbray, who recently assisted me in finding a rental in the shoreline area. I was struck from the first by her quick response and the questions she asked to determine what I was looking for in a home. She then sent me a list of available properties to gauge if her impressions were what I wanted--and she was spot on. Throughout the process, Erika explained any questions I asked. She knew to ask for more detail, or provide more information, when I strayed from the wish list I'd established. In one case, I found a property online that was in a neighborhood I loved and asked her to arrange a showing. She happily agreed, but was able to point out issues with the listing (carpet on the porch, a very disorganized, tiny kitchen and no ocean view) that immediately made me realize the house wouldn't be suitable. Yes, what I'm saying is that she began to know my taste better than I did! Erika knows the shoreline very well. She quickly made arrangements to show me houses, contacted colleagues to find homes not yet on the market and answered my myriad of questions quickly and clearly. Erika is pleasant and so personable, which made it fun to work with her. Her intelligence, knowledge and diligence, though, were what made our time together productive. She negotiated a lower monthly rent for a gorgeous home for me and then walked me through the process of successfully applying as a tenant for another property online. I will probably want to rent or buy a house once my present lease expires. I know I will once again turn to Erika, and I recommend her to others as an agent without reservation.

There aren’t enough words to explain everything Erika Carbray has done for us throughout this entire process of searching for and purchasing our first home. It will be difficult to try to capture all the ways Erika has gone above and beyond for us in this review because the list goes on and on. We are completely blown away by her work ethic. We knew right away that we wanted Erika to be our real estate agent. She’s hard working, devoted, strong, determined, intelligent, and always brings a positive attitude and smile that seems to ease our minds and make everything better. When we started this adventure, we had zero clue where to begin and that was terrifying for us. Right out of the gate, Erika was organized and prioritized everything for us. Erika found out what our likes/dislikes were and what kind of home we could see ourselves in. She had connections and great relationships with the best of the best in the business to ensure we were getting the greatest treatment from all involved. She was constantly scanning the market for houses that had the potential we wanted. She would be searching for us constantly; she was our eyes 24/7. No matter how near or far, she would bring us to whatever house we wanted to see, but she was always realistic and pointed out things to us that we didn’t realize (for example, busy streets/neighborhoods that didn’t meet our wishes, features in a house that were missing that she knew were a priority for us, etc.). Erika was always on her game. After months of looking, we fell in love with a beautiful home in a dream neighborhood! It didn’t stop there. Once we decided we wanted to put an offer in, Erika fought for us every single day. She was our voice, had our backs, and never stopped fighting to give us what we wanted and deserved. If we were skeptical about something or felt we deserved a better deal, she would speak up and get it done. She never backed down because she honestly wanted the best for us. Not only has Erika been extremely professional and hard working, she has made this entire process FUN. We’ve hysterically laughed with Erika more times than we can count. Whether it was in person, or through our hilarious group text, she kept the mood up and the stress down. We always knew she’d be there. Any hour of any day. The best decision we’ve made in all of this, is that we chose Erika Carbray as our realtor. A thank you” will never be enough to say how much her hard work and devotion has meant to us.
