Erin did a great job working with us to get the perfect house for our family. We were coming to Ohio on a relocation and she did a great job providing helpful advise as well as guidance in the NE Ohio housing market. Erin is very organized in the steps and process and is always a couple steps ahead to help put us at ease when making decisions. Great person and realtor!

Erin worked hard and fast to sell my house quickly and at the best value. Every question I had she either answered when asked or got an answer and got back to me on quickly.

Erin has worked tirelessly with me during the housing market surge, and has continued to provide utmost attention and service despite my constantly evolving personal variables. It is not only a joy hearing from Erin and seeing her strong work ethic shine through, but her strategies and out of the box thinking have been what allowed me to have the winning offer on more than one occasion. I’m so grateful for her networks, attempts to help me find new employment as I transition here, and her expertise as a newer realtor. This is one intelligent, innovative and dedicated woman! Anyone would be lucky to have her professional attention.

My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Erin when buying our first home. She was very responsive, very knowledgeable, and very efficient. At the start, she sat us down for a thorough intro meeting to explain the entire process to us (we're first-time buyers who care a lot about all the details... maybe a bit OCD). After the thorough education, she took the time to make sure she understood very clearly what we were looking for. What was essential, what was considered nice to have, what did we not like, etc. From here, she set up automatic search filters so we could see houses that already satisfied our criteria, so we didn't have to waste our time wading through a bunch of houses that we were never going to like. It seemed like whenever we wanted to visit a place, she somehow made herself available. If not, she made sure somebody else was there with us... usually Bill, who's apparently a legend in the Cleveland/Akron area real estate and was also a wealth of information and insight. Quick on responding to communications (emails, texts), always happy to visit another house, helpful with strategies on making offers... I can't say enough good things about her. If you go with Erin, you won't regret it. Everybody we spoke to about our house hunting was always very impressed by what we told them about her, which I took to mean that we were lucky to be getting a home buying experience much better than what is typical. Thank you, Erin!

Erin helped us every step of the way in selling our house as well as buying a new home. She was available 24/7 and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Erin was professional, knowledgeable, and a tremendous asset. Michael and I highly recommend her for anyone buying or selling a home.

We started working with Erin in December 2020. The market was very tough, but Erin was tougher. She never quit on us. She was always available to us and we’ve since realized just how valuable it is to have an agent who will pick up your phone call at any time day or night, especially in the fast-paced and competitive market we experienced. One of the qualities we appreciated most was Erin’s creativity in solving problems. We believe she created opportunities for us that we otherwise would not have had with a different agent. She impressed us with her commitment, attentiveness and grit—habits that ultimately guided us to the successful purchase of our new home in August 2021. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We highly recommend Erin!

From the first time we met, my wife & I felt really good and comfortable with Erin. We worked with Erin in both the selling & buying process of our homes. She is very thorough & knowledgeable. Erin took the time to explain to us all the details that go into both selling & buying a house. She was such a pleasure to work with. Dedicated; and people friendly, Erin will work hard to find your next forever home.

I currently live in the in the UK and gained employment within the US, so I needed to buy a property for my family. Knowing my limited knowledge on US real estate market Erin kept me informed every step of the way and answered any of my questions promptly...she was supportive and explained the whole process. I am extremely grateful to Erin for her time, attention, understanding and tremendous help in every aspect of this purchase. The whole process was a breeze. I no doubt will be working again with Erin in the not-too-distant future and I would highly recommend Erin to anyone in the market to buy or sell their home. Her work ethic and dedication is second to none

Erin was VERY professional and knowledgeable about the real estate market. She had a solid understanding of the comparable values in the real estate arena. Her confidence and timely service throughout the selling of our home made the process very easy to finalize. She provided very sound advice on how to stage our home. And she engaged a high quality photographer to present the home online with professional pictures. We highly recommend Erin Johnson if you are considering any real estate transactions. You can count on her to provide great service and sound market-savvy guidance.

Buying and selling a home--especially in such a fast-paced market-- can be a very stressful life events but Erin helped us navigate both with ease. When showing us houses, she worked quickly to get us into all the ones we wanted to see until we found THE one. Erin is also very organized and summarized the offers we received on our home in an easy to read spreadsheet that helped us make our decision. Erin is very responsive and answered all of our questions along the way. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone buying or selling a home!

My experience with Erin was nothing short of phenomenal. Erin was professional, but adds a nice personal touch that made me feel special as a client. She is easy to get along with, responds quickly, and is honest. I would recommend Erin to anywhere who needs a realtor in the area!

We were hesitant to say goodbye to our house of 22 years and start looking for our new dream home in this crazy housing market but after following Erin on her Facebook group Outstanding Ohio I thought she could possibly work with us to make it happen. After months of house hunting (yes, we were quite picky) Erin found the house for us. We bought and sold homes within 3 weeks! It was a whirlwind as Erin walked us through each step of the way trying to make it go as smoothly as possible. There is definitely bumps in the road when it comes to buying/selling a home but I think Erin would work hard making your dream of buying or selling a home come true.

I just closed on my first house this week and could not have done it without Erin! She was so helpful throughout the process of helping me find and purchase a house from out of state. I’m thankful I found her on YouTube and everything worked out! She really is an advocate for her clients and I would recommend her to anyone!!

We met Erin at a community event when we were just thinking about purchasing a new home and selling ours. We are just looking to upgrade our current situation and there is no NEED to move. Erin has been so accommodating and helpful. If she isn't available to show you a property she will make sure to find an associate that is. The market is crazy right now with no signs of it cooling anytime soon and Erin has gone above and beyond in helping us find our forever home (even willing to knock on doors in that neighborhood you covet). We are actively working with Erin and have been since the fall 2021. Hoping to find our forever home soon with her. She also hosts a seller's seminar that isn't to be missed if you are just starting this journey!!

We worked with Erin to purchase a home while living out of state, which is even more stressful in this market than buying a home locally.
The level of communication and responsiveness we received from her was nothing less than amazing. When we happened to be in town early on in the process, she shifted her schedule around to take us out and view houses so she had a better understanding of what was important to us. When we started seeing houses we liked come to market, Erin worked with not only our schedules but also with our local family who attended in our place to schedule showings quickly.
The entire time we worked with Erin she was professional, personable and helpful in every aspect. She was very familiar with the Bath/Fairlawn/Copley neighborhoods we looked in and sent us the sweetest ‘welcome home’ gift when we finally found our home.
Without a doubt, we would recommend Erin to anyone looking to purchase a home!
