About Us

Eric is a unique real estate agent in Sarasota that specializes in serving home purchasers only. He is dedicated to helping and empowering his clients to make informed and confident buying decisions.

Unlike most agents, Eric does not list properties. This is part of his dedication to the buyer. In this way, he is not influenced to unload listings, nor does he have the obligations that come with these listings. Eric’s primary focus is to make sure his clients purchase the home that best fits their needs and desires for a price that is at, or in many cases, below market value.
