What clients say about this agent....
Erika knew the market and how to price the home and her advice was excellent. The entire process was easy and all her recommendations were correct! We were very pleased!
My experience with Erika was absolutely horrendous. She was very rude and unhelpful, right from the start. Her first statement to me was ?you cannot buy a house here?. She also gave the sage advice that ?upgrades just aren?t worth it?. She refused to offer us a tour of the community, citing high gas prices and a disbelief that I would qualify for a mortgage. In the end, in communications I was conspicuously left off of, she misrepresented our agreement to titling, adding thousands and thousands of dollars to closing costs. I could not be more disappointed, and I am shocked in her lack of professional ethics. Stay away.
Erika Rutt-Akens was the realtor for me. I needed a realtor to be able to handle my every question on top of my very detailed personality. I am a perfectionist which I am sure makes dealing with me not always easy. But Erika did it. She understood me as she is the same very detailed. She always answered my questions and made me feel at peace during this very emotional process.
Erica is very knowledgable when it comes to real estate. She came to my house and explained everything throughly. She spent a decent amount of time so i fully understood everything. She was very sympathic for the recent loss of my husband. I would never buy or sell another house without first calling Erica.
Erika was phenomenal. We found her online (Google Review) due to being out of state. We didn't know anyone in the real estate business, and she had great reviews. She gave us advice on getting a rental for a year (it helped) and was there every step of the way to our new home purchase during that following year. She called us well before we were ready to purchase and helped connect us with a lender. There were unforeseen challenges to getting our preapproval due to a new job. Her being so on the ball really kept the stress low on the whole process. Our second offer on a home was accepted in a very challenging buyer's market. (Closed May 2022) Not only that, but we also HAD to be in a particular school district (for our kiddos best interest and specific needs), one that was very small and really limited our search area. I cannot recommend her enough. She is very detailed, professional yet down to earth (will tell you what you need to hear) and proactive. She knows all the tricks of the trade and will get the job done.
Erika is very professional, knowledgeable, and easy to deal with. Her knowledge of the local market was invaluable. She guided us through the sale process and provided needed assistance in handling our estate sale. We highly recommend her.
Erika is awesome! She knew EXACTLY what I was looking for and guided me right to the perfect house. She is very responsive and professional and understanding. She and her whole team (shout out to Maura too!) were very helpful, patient, and understanding when my situation hit little snag with payment and I needed some extra accommodation. Highest recommendation!
Erika is the best realtor Ive ever worked with and Ive worked with a few. She made the whole process a breeze and always had my back. I came to her looking for a house, which turned into me refinancing mine and when it was time I decided to sell, I knew I had to have her as my agent. You will not be disappointed. She is top notch!
For two years I was trying to decide about selling my home. Erika periodically checked in with me (without any pressure) every couple months. She always answered my questions and supported me until I made the final decision to sell. She was very understanding about my personal needs, as I have MS and was very patient and I searched for an apartment. As it turned out, she got me the best price and now that I have moved into an apartment, my life is so much better. I highly recommend her. She is a caring, considerate person who will work with you to meet your needs.She also has an assistant, Maura, who works with the clients and was always there for me when I had a question.
I relocated from overseas to the local area on a very tight timeline. After contacting Erika with my preferences for my new home I immediately received listings that fit the bill. I indicated those of interest and had a viewing within one or two days. I promptly received updates on new listings daily and found my perfect home within 2 weeksShe was very helpful in connecting me with local lenders and the entire process from start to finish was completed within a month.What really impressed me was Erikas follow up after closing to ensure everything was satisfactory and that I had no issues after the sale.I am extremely satisfied with the entire experience and recommend Erika as an excellent choice for anyone requiring realtor services.
