Erik Braceland

Buying my first home was something I’d dreamed of for years, but I honestly didn’t know where to start—especially in a market as challenging as Ridgecrest. I’m a government contractor and an Air Force veteran, and I needed someone I could trust to guide me through the process. After hearing about Erik Braceland’s strong reputation and commitment to veterans, I reached out to him—and I’m glad I did!

Erik and his team at Braceland Homes Inc. were incredible from day one. For over a year, Erik stuck with me—educating me about the home buying process, getting me pre-approved for a VA loan, and helping me understand what to expect in the Ridgecrest market. Even though he’s based in Escondido, Erik made me feel like I was his top priority. He scheduled dozens of showings, answered every question I had, and when it came time to narrow down my final choices, he actually traveled to Ridgecrest and spent several days with me reviewing the homes in person. That level of dedication is rare.

Thanks to Erik’s strategy and negotiation skills, we got the home I loved—with a VA-backed loan at an amazingly low interest rate. On top of that, he negotiated for the seller to pay for a rate buy-down, which will save me thousands over the life of the loan. And here’s the kicker: Erik also got the seller to cover his team’s compensation, so I didn’t have to pay any representation fees out of pocket.

I never thought buying a home could feel this smooth, especially as a first-timer. Erik didn’t just help me buy a house—he helped me make a smart, secure investment in my future. If you’re a veteran or just someone looking for a real estate expert who genuinely cares, I can’t recommend Erik Braceland highly enough.

Braceland Homes, Inc. Fantastic! My elderly mom became ill in 2022 and I had to move her to Texas where I live. I didn't have time to sell the house then but I met Erik and explained the situation. Over the course of the next 11 months, Erik would contact me when things at mom's house seemed amiss (the bushes were overgrown or the mail was piling up). These were things my mom's property manager should have done but didn't do. During the year, my mom improved and in early 2023 I was ready to begin the process of selling her house. What a mess! The house needed a lot of work and one of tenants had done significant damage to the rental. I fired the property manager and even though Erik doesn't usually do property management, he took over and helped me evict the bad tenant and managed to sell the house all within a month. Erik was amazing! In a world where it is hard to trust or count on people, it is nice to work with someone who is honest, trustworthy, hardworking, and kind. Erik is all of those things. If you are looking for a real estate company you can depend on, choose Braceland Homes - they're GREAT!
