Eric P Lin, Realtor

Eric is an excellent agent who worked very hard for us for a whole year before we were able to get a house in this competitive market. Eric was very patient with us from the very beginning, even before we decided on a city. He never pressured us and gave us sound advice on all the neighborhoods and the individual properties we looked at. Eric is unbelievably efficient, getting the disclosure reports to us as soon as they became available. He is also very active in contacting the seller agents to gather information and has spent many occasions reviewing disclosures and preparing our offer letters late into the evenings in order to meet the offer deadlines. In the end, we were finally able to get our house because Eric pushed for a counter-​offer! He even watched the loan rates for us to make sure we weren’t missing anything (and we almost did!).
Even after the escrow closed, he was able to help us deal with the seller and their agent to resolve an issue. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to serve your needs, Eric is your real estate guy! I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and family.

Eric is very responsive and detailed oriented. He’s also one hell of a negotiator. If you want someone who can execute, he’s the agent for you.
I’ve used Eric in two transactions to date and would have him dialed in for the third. Let’s put it this way, I generally see two types of first-​time buyers:
A) You’re cautious and needs handholding and guidance. You take comfort in having an agent who is like a «friend» to guide you in the scary world of real estate and buying your first home.
B) Homes in CA are one of the best investments. Plus its about time you got one because you’ve made it. You are comfortable on the internet, and are sick of agents that send you open houses that are on redfin, just like to bug you on the phone, and essentially add «no value», per your lexicon.
If you’re A, go call the local agent you see smiling in that advertisement on the bus stop. If you’re B, Eric is your man.
