💬 What Clients Say

“Finding Erin was far and away the biggest saving grace we could have hoped for. After helping us understand and work with what we had available, she was able to help us find the perfect property for our needs… her incredible hard work and dedication… We very, very likely would not have a home right now if it weren’t for her.”
— Badgers, Google Review

“Unbelievably awesome! I have dealt with Realtors/agents over the last few years; never has anybody stepped up and got the job done right and quickly… Erin is the best, she goes way above and beyond.”
— Joel Lewis, Local Guide

“This was the easiest process. I live in Indiana and bought property in California, and Erin was a tremendous help with this. She was so nice and did her job well—did not even need to go to California; she did it all for me. This girl is amazing at what she does.”
— Beverly Slye

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is this guide really free?

Yes! Absolutely no cost, no obligation. I created this guide because relocating to a new area is overwhelming, and I want to help people make informed decisions—whether they work with me or not.

Will I get spammed with sales calls?

No. I’ll reach out once to deliver your guide and see if you have questions. If you’re not ready to move forward, no problem—no pressure, no repeated follow-ups. I’m here to help, not to pester.

What if I’m just researching and not ready to move yet?

Perfect! That’s exactly who this guide is for. Most people research for 6-12 months before making a move. Getting informed early helps you make better decisions when you’re ready.

Do I have to work with you to get the guide?

Not at all. The guide is helpful whether you work with me, another agent, or even if you decide Colfax isn’t right for you. My goal is to provide value and build trust—if we’re a good fit to work together, great. If not, that’s okay too.

How long until I receive the guide?

I’ll reach out within 24 hours (usually same day) to deliver the guide and see if you have any immediate questions. You’ll have it in your inbox within one business day, guaranteed.

What if I have questions about specific neighborhoods?

That’s exactly why I follow up personally! The guide covers general information, but I can provide detailed, current insights about specific streets, schools, or market conditions based on your interests.
