In hindsight, Eric’s path to an amazing life and real estate career in Austin became inevitable the moment he asked a native Texan to marry him. After a childhood in Boston and some fun and formative years in New York and San Francisco, Austin eventually came calling. Eric is so glad it did. The decision to live and raise a family in this city, incredible in so many ways, is one of the best decisions he has ever made. Austin is home. And as Austin has grown, Eric's ability to relate to clients who are relocating to Austin has been crucial. For some, buying or selling a home can be a stressful, overwhelming experience. But it doesn’t have to be. It’s Eric’s goal to help his clients not only succeed in achieving their real estate goals but to feel served and rewarded in the process. Buying and selling homes in some of the most complex and competitive real estate markets in the country had a profound impact on his own family, and Eric has learned that few things in life are more important and meaningful than finding the place we call home. Eric spent the first part of his career as a communications, advertising, and public affairs executive. He has been a valued senior advisor to Fortune 500 companies, leading non-profit organizations, major public agencies, and prominent elected officials. Through this work, he has gained invaluable experience equally applicable to the real estate market from negotiating multi-million dollar contracts to guiding clients through crises. Eric loves Austin. It has afforded his family an incredible life. He and His wife, Candace, son (10) daughter (8) and rescue pup can often be spotted enjoying Austin’s amazing parks, pools, and outdoor spaces, countless family-friendly restaurants, taking in a University of Texas sporting event, grilling and chilling in the yard, or taking an evening stroll with their amazing neighbors (perhaps with a cold beverage on a hot Austin night). Whatever you’re looking for in Austin, Eric can promise you that it’s here. He has seen first hand that dreams come true in Austin, Texas. Whether you're looking to Buy or Sell, Eric would love to help you achieve yours.
