Ratings & Reviews

Jeff M.

The most capable agent I have come across. I have bought and sold six homes previous to working with Ms. Hulstrom-Garces on the sale of a family rental property in 2023, but in all those transactions I have not run across a more capable and diligent agent as Erika.
I had almost started working with another agent but had some technical questions about the market and specifically about HOA's and the condo market. A friend suggested I consult with Erika, which she was gracious do to at no cost or obligation. After hearing her expertise and enthusiasm, I immediately decided to have her assist us in the sale. She was hands down the most knowledgeable of any other agent I consulted.
In the end, we had some challenges with the condo and the sale but Erika navigated them and took the ball into the end-zone with expertise and consummate professionalism and grace.
We could not recommend Erika Hulstrom-Garces more highly.

Fun to work with and on top of the market. Erika was very knowledgeable about the current properties that were available and found homes in all the areas we were considering that met our budget. She is always available to answer questions and resolve all the paperwork and other issues when searching out and buying a home. She will be our realtor of choice for the sale of our former home now that we have moved to our new one. Erika is the best.

N. Travale

She helped us purchased our 1st home & now our forever home. She’s knowledgeable, honest & a pleasure to work with. Go with the best, that’s Erika.

Look no further for your realtor! Erika is efficient, knows her stuff, and thorough! I sold my home with her and she patiently walked me through every step of the process and answered every question I had. In the first time walking through my home, she gave me some great tips on refreshing the home and making it marketable. She also has a contact for every person. Paint refresh? She has a guy on the cheap! Quick yard cleanup? She got a guy. Reasonable stager to brighten the look of the home? She got one on speed-dial!

If you want a realtor who will represent you well in the buying and selling of a home, call Erika!

Erika made buying a home the easiest experience! So thankful for all she did!!

Judy H.

Erika was kind and very professional in her quest to sell my brother's property after he passed away in 2023. She provided references to highly qualified local business who were able to remove and/or sell the contents of the household. She was up to the challenge of selling an older property that needed work, and she stayed with it until the task was done.

Because I don't live in California, I relied on Erika's expertise in the local market to help me through, and I have been very pleased with her handling of the entire process. She's a gem!

Judy G.

Erika was amazing to work with selling my home. She gave me good advice on upgrades that would get me the best returns, listened to all of my concerns and helped me navigate the process with ease. I highly recommend Erika if you are looking for an agent that will help you find your new home or sell your present one. She is open, honest and fair and gives very good knowledgeable advice.

Michael Durland

Wonderful experience with Erika buying our first home. She was trustworthy, knowledgeable and always available. Would definitely recommend her to you.

Marcia Chavez

Erika showed us some nice prospects of homes in the central valley. I was able with my lovely partner to find a great home in Woodbridge, CA at our price range. Erika was very thorough and walked us through every step to know what was expected and how to get our ideal dream home. Thanks Erika for your great support and guidance to getting us a new home. We are very happy with our outcome and results.😊

Eric Hong

Erika did a fabulous job in selling our mother’s house. The experience, advice, and understanding she provided helped make the process of selling the house much easier.

Jessica Siebels

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Erika to purchase our first home. She came highly recommended by our mortgage broker and from the first phone call I knew she was the realtor for us!
I knew almost nothing about the buying process and she was very knowledgeable, forthcoming with information, honest, responsive, and patiently answered every inane question I had throughout the process.

We gave Erika a list of likes and dislikes, and I sent her a few homes we wanted to view and she very quickly picked up on exactly what we were looking for. After we toured a few homes, she sent us a link for THE house. It was absolutely PERFECT and so close to our dream home we couldn't believe it. It's not every day one doesn't have to make concessions on their first home, but we really lucked out, and Erika made it happen! She worked her tail off to make sure we put in the right offer for the home and getting the phone call from her that it was accepted was one of the happiest

Jennifer Mulhall

We began our search for a new home over a year before finding Erika (we were in the market in another area of California). We knew once we got closer that we would need to get our local home on the market ASAP and that's when we contacted her (thanks Google)! As soon as we met with her we knew we would be in good hands. She came to our home and walked us through neighborhood comps, explained the entire process of getting prepared for market and answered all of our questions about inspections, handling open houses and offers and so forth.

Luckily for us all, selling was way easier than buying and she walked us through every step. She was helpful, honest, friendly and professional all the way through, and our home sold very fast with multiple competitive offers.

On closing day, we knew that everything was buttoned up and we would recommend her for anyone buying or selling in the central valley and beyond!

If you are looking for a realtor Erika is the person you will need, she was recommended by a friend. We do not regret it. When we started the conversation of wanting to find our dream home, she did exactly that showed us many homes and was mindful of what we wanted and what we did not want which made it easy for us. We submitted our offer on our dream home on 11/23 and closed 12/18. She'll answer all of your questions and concerns and is so knowledgeable on everything we are first time buyers and the experience was not stressful and so easy. If you are looking for a good team you have to have Erika because she will not let you down. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL THANK YOU ERIKA ☺️
