About Eric

With a background featuring a decade in the corporate startup technology sector, Eric brings a rare dual perspective to East Bay real estate. He deeply understands both the analytical, financial mechanics of a transaction and the deeply personal elements of moving a family. Whether guiding a luxury corporate relocation, advising an upsizing family, or managing property transformations through Compass Concierge, he operates with precision, integrity, and a calm demeanor that guides clients smoothly to their goals.

As a Northern California native who grew up in Folsom, spent 15 years in Sonoma County, and has called the East Bay home for nearly a decade, Eric offers deep regional insight. Living in the Buena Vista neighborhood of Walnut Creek with his wife, two boys, dog, and cat, he is heavily plugged into the local school districts, micro-neighborhood trends, and youth sports communities.

Clients trust Eric not just for his advanced negotiation skills, but because they know he genuinely has their back—before, during, and long after the deal closes.

What Our Clients Say

  • Two people shaking hands and smiling

    Eric was an absolute blast to work with as a first time homebuyer! My wife and I were a bit overwhelmed at the thought of purchasing our first home, and Eric was there every step of the way with great advice from location to financing to things to looks out for. Always super responsive and pleasant to chat with, we were very happy to have found a home with Eric's help! We are happy to call Eric not only our real estate agent but a friend! Highly recommend working with him.

  • Smiling man with a beard wearing a green blazer and light blue shirt

    Eric was a pleasure to work with. He knows the local market quite well and was able to provide insightful input on all properties I was looking at. With the competitive / low inventory market we exist in, Eric was more than willing to look at as many homes as I wanted before finding exactly the right one. When it finally came time to make the offer, Eric not only guided me to a process where we were able to avoid the bidding war, but also guided my price offer to a lower point than what I was willing to pay. I would absolutely use Eric again myself as well as recommend him to others.

  • A smiling man engaging in a handshake during a professional meeting or interview.

    My wife and I worked with Eric to buy and sell a property in the Bay Area and he was nothing short of amazing. Eric was responsive to every one of our needs/concerns and was by far the best agent we've ever worked with. Eric was with us every step of the way and made himself available no matter the time of day nor day of the week. It was refreshing to work with Eric and we look forward to working with him again!

    – Brandon M.

  • Eric was wonderful to work with. After a nearly 1 year search, we were able to purchase our forever house. Not only were we dealing with market challenges we had a search criteria that limited the available inventory even more. Whenever something sparked our interest he would immediately get us all the information available and arrange viewings. Eric made sure that we were informed, ASAP, of any new or coming soon listings. Never did he try to sell us on a property. When it came time to write an offer he guided us through the process flawlessly.

    — Steve & Adrienne

  • Eric helped us buy our home and our experience with him was nothing but exceptional! He is very thorough with his work and sets the bar really high. He takes time understanding the needs of his clients and that reflects in all his communications and advice. I have worked with other buyer's agents before but Eric stands out head and shoulders above the rest.
