"When we contemplated relocating to San Diego County from Charlotte, North Carolina in December 2010, we began by looking online. We ended up on the Coldwell Banker website and, by chance, Erica Miller was the agent who called to follow up. We were making a holiday trip to California, so asked Erica if she'd mind showing us a few homes while we were there. We were undecided if we were making a move, and we were definitely not in the market to buy a home for at least six months.
Over the Christmas holiday, Erica spent a whole day showing us homes in various cities in San Diego County to get a feel for what we were looking for. Right from the start, we were very comfortable with Erica, and from each house she showed us, she learned more about what we wanted and exactly where we wanted to live.
In late February, when we returned to California, we previewed 33 homes in three days. Erica was the one who brought us "back to earth" when we saw a gorgeous home that we were infatuated with. She would "remind" us that it did not have a pool, or it was not a ranch style, or the bathrooms needed updating - in a nutshell, not what we wanted.
Because we lived in North Carolina, Erica previewed many homes for us, video-taped them, and wrote offers, until we found exactly what we wanted at the price-point we were looking for. We were able to put implicit trust in Erica and after a long search, she was able to find us the perfect home.
Erica is terrific, by far the best real estate agent we have ever worked with. She's sharp as they come - on top of all the regulatory requirements; always forward-thinking; and most importantly, ALWAYS working in her client's best interests. She's put in countless hours working with us. Her advice and judgment have always been right on the mark.
We recommend Erica without reservation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
~Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Fallbrook
"On behalf of my wife and myself, I wanted to express our sincere appreciation for your assistance with our move from Northern California. Your expertise, professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail, helped us locate a property which we could afford and in an area we will be thrilled to call home.
After living in our current residence for 20 years, moving was foreign to us. You adeptly navigated us through the maze of disclosures, contingencies, approvals and sales comparisons, to assist us with making an informed offer on a home and its ultimate escrow closing. Plus as a buyer from outside the area, you knew where to suggest showings that would fit our tastes, needs, budget and facilitated a fast escrow closing.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with you!"
~Mr. and Mrs. Tuch, Oceanside
"We became clients of Erica Miller by chance but are very grateful to have made her acquaintance. Our home buying experience with her was not our first time in the real estate market; however, it was definitely the best. We found Erica to be the most knowledgeable, dedicated and out-going real estate agent we know. Her warm, kind and understanding approach made a world of difference for us and her patience as well as persistence in our short sale purchase was commendable. We highly recommend Erica to anyone interested in buying or selling a home and look forward to working with her again in the future."
~Mr. and Mrs. Karling, Oceanside
"Erica Miller is by far the most professional, knowledgable, and personable agent I have had the pleasure to work with. I always knew she was a true advocate for our family and we ended up with our dream home. I am especially impressed with her 'drive for results' and excellent attention to detail. So many other agents are only in it for the money and really dont care how the deal 'goes down' - just as long as it does. Erica is the BEST!!"
~Mr. and Mrs. Irwin, Vista
"Erica's professionalism and expertise in the market made the whole process painless and exciting. In the end, Erica helped us find the perfect home. From day one, through closing, and even today, Erica's always available to answer any questions we have. We definitely recommend her to all!"
~Mr. and Mrs. Linares, Oceanside
"Erica was so outstanding! She went above and beyond our expectations and made our purchase effortless. She is very professional and knows the real estate market. Erica makes home buying fun and we highly recommend her."
~Mr. and Mrs. Schulz, Vista
"Erica we just want you to know that your expertise and wonderful customer service, has made our home buying experience most pleasurable. Your wealth of knowledge and ability to keep things simple allowed us to feel 100% satisfied with choosing you as our real estate agent. We just want you to know that we will not forget your kindness, honesty, and ability to make us feel secure during this overwhelming process. We also want to thank you for continuing to help us with any issues or questions we have had after our purchase. This is just another wonderful added touch to an agent who excels in customer service. We will continue to refer you to our friends and family, and it would be a pleasure to do business with you again in the future."
~Mr. and Mrs. Cronin, Chula Vista
"Erica is an amazing Realtor. She took the time and effort to help me find the perfect condo for an investment. She treated me and my parents, acting on my behalf, as if we were her most valued customers and made sure we found what we wanted. I would recommend her to anyone looking for property is this area. She will look after you and find just what you are looking for."
~Mrs. Pemberton-Nesbitt, Zimbabwe
"I am writing to express my appreciation for all you have done for me during my house hunting experience. Your amazing personality and your years of experience have made the stressful moving experience and finding a new home fun and joyful. I would recommend you to all my friends and anybody I know because I know they would come back to me to say thank you for the referral. I would like to thank you for being there for me whenever I called and thanks for the quick responses to my emails and text messages. I was so impressed with your professionalism and at the same time you sense of humor. Again thank you Erica, thank you for all you have done."
~Mr. Garip, Oceanside
"My wife and I moved from Colorado to California and Erica was very helpful in our learning about the San Diego area and finding a nice house for us. She was very knowledgeable about the areas we were looking at and about the San Diego real estate market in general. She helped us through the negotiation process and worked hard to make ensure that everything went through as planned. We appreciate her honesty and her professionalism throughout the process, and she was a pleasure to work with overall. We would use her again."
~Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert, Vista
"Erica Miller was one of five qualified realtors I interviewed for the sale of a condominium in Vista. I selected Erica and I'm very pleased with the outcome. She handled all aspects of the listing and sale with utmost professionalism, and as a result escrow closed in about four weeks from the listing date. The sales price reflected an improving market and was fair to both parties. She presents herself in a pleasing and positive way and has an energetic style. Combined with very good communication skills, the ability to anticipate and solve problems, the image of Coldwell Banker, and you have a fine realtor. I strongly recommend her."
~Mr. Albert, Lake Sherwood
“I totally recommend Erica, she is GREAT! What makes her great is her determination to get the job done in a most efficient way. She is patient and understanding and that was a good thing in my case. I was from the East coast and was in CA taking care of my brother before he passed away. After he passed away I needed to get so many things done before I could go home and grieve with my family. Erica did not even hesitate she went above what a realtor should do. She first took care of getting the house on the market and made it so it was visible to all. The calls and e-mails came in even before 24 hours was up. She made this house look GREAT with the pictures she took. When all was said and done she got me a deal for higher then what I was asking for! During this whole process she asked me if I needed help with locating the bank, utility people and all of that. Of course I did not turn her down. She was so helpful during my time of need! Not being familiar with the area I was in and what was around me she made my task of packing up my brother’s belongings so much easier! I am and was so happy with her that I have given out all her cards here on the East coast and I even have her cards up at work as well as outside my office. I also gave it to my realtor friend here and said if anyone calls him looking for a realtor out West in CA then I told him recommend her. SO If you want someone on the West coast who will do a great job for you and go above and beyond then you need to contact Erica! She made this whole thing easy and I am REALLY grateful!” ~ Ms. Genazzio, Escondido
“My husband and I saw the house of our dreams and it needed to be ours. Erica was an active agent in our area who had represented the buyer on a house we had our eye on. I called her - out of the blue - to represent us in putting an offer on our dream house. THAT was the best decision we'd ever made in our entire lifes. Erica took the bull by the horns. She put us in contact with an extraordinary lender that pre-qualified us and that was great to work with. She wrote such a smart offer, we, with our VA loan, competed with stellar conventional loan offers. Our offer was accepted...in the current market, we thought that was miraculous. It gets even better. With our offer accepted we thought we just better sell our current home. We thought we'd use a friend but started getting nervous when our research pointed out her brokerage didn't even have a website. In an industry that is DRIVEN by the Internet, I'd say having some representation online is a top priority. We questioned our choice and re-thought everything. I called Erica again - out of the blue - to sell our house. That SAME DAY she had our listing up and an Open House the same weekend. SHE NAILED IT! We had 5 OFFERS within days. We sold our house above asking price and with the rent-back terms we needed. It was the easiest, most painless process ever. She handled everything professionally and like I'd never seen before. Even the termite company we used said, "Erica is the quarterback you want on your team". ERICA GETS THE JOB DONE. She stays on top of everything. If you're riding easy, it's because Erica is riding everybody that's working for you hard. I recommend Erica Miller to EVERYONE.” ~ Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, Oceanside
"We have used several realtors in the past and they all seemed the same. Erica was truly a cut above the rest. She was very knowledgeable and attentive in a non aggressive way. She listened to what our needs were and was able to take most the anxiety out of what could be a very stressful situation. We would definitely use Erica again and would recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home." ~ Mr. and Mrs. Terrones, Oceanside
"I first met Erica Miller in 2010 when I was relocated from the east coast to sunny San Diego. Working with a very short timeline, Erica was able to get me into my new home in 30 days. It was such a great experience I called Erica when I was given orders back to east coast. Again, Erica knocked it out of the park and had my home sold in less than a week for well over asking price. You couldn't ask for more in a real estate agent." ~ Mr. Spencer Morris, Oceanside
"Erica Miller is a fantastic agent. She is a fierce and tireless advocate, consistently going above and beyond for the sake of her clients. She is highly communicative and makes herself available for any questions or concerns that arise as a result of what can be a very trying experience. I would recommend her services to anyone." ~ Mr. Schnarr, Vista
"My husband and I decided to move to North San Diego County to be near family and to escape the high property prices in our county. We were referred to Erica Miller by a cousin who had worked with her on a short sale for about a year. Erica Miller worked tirelessly to help us find the right property showing us over 70 homes during the 6 months it took us to find the one we finally purchased. Among the very important things Erica did to help us make the right decision was to remind us what were really looking for, advise us of the costs involved in doing repairs and upgrades, telling us about the communities we were considering, walking us through the paperwork and helping us to understand the buying process. Because of her efforts we felt more confident and comfortable with the process. Additionally, Erica is a lovely and professional person to work with. She was always well prepared for the showings, and the paperwork was always in perfect order. We knew she was working with other clients at the same time, but we always felt we were getting her full attention. Erica is someone we trust and we will use her again in the future and refer her to anyone we know looking for a new home in the area." ~S. Kinsler & B. Leshon, Fallbrook
"My family and I had the pleasure of working with Erica for several months while we were looking for our new home in San Marcos. From the very beginning Erica took the time to really listen to what we were looking for and only sent us listings that met this criteria. Even though we were asking for almost the impossible in terms of price and the type of property and neighborhood, Erica kept searching for us and we finally found the right property. Throughout the process she was incredibly responsive and always quick to reply to calls, texts, and emails and set up showings around our schedules. I really feel that she was an advocate for us when we made offers on properties. I also believe she went above and beyond on several occasions both when our lender was dragging their feet at the very end of the process and potentially delaying the close date and after we closed when there were some issues that the home inspection company should have caught. In both cases Erica represented us incredibly well and make sure that the issues were addressed. We were so impressed with her work and at this point consider her more than our realtor, she is also our friend. We will not hesitate to use her in the future when it's time to sell our house and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in North County." ~ Mr. & Mrs. Kaserman, San Marcos
“I have bought nine houses prior to this one and never have I had a better agent than Erica Miller. From the beginning, she was able to discern what kinds of help and advice I needed and what I did not need; I’ve had agents in the past who have had trouble seeing the difference, which is annoying. I was always able to bounce ideas and thoughts off of her and her suggestions were invariably helpful. She never failed in any of the mechanics of setting up showings, etc. Again, that’s not always been the case with my past experiences. I felt throughout that we were operating exactly as I wanted and needed: as a team, sorting through my needs and desires and matching them against the houses available on the market. As a result, I got the house I wanted and needed. The purchase negotiations were more prolonged and annoying than I’ve experienced before, but Erica saw me through them and was always a voice of reason when I need to blow off some steam in frustration. And again, it all got done successfully and fairly to both parties. I expect this to be the last house I buy and if so, I will be going out as a winner by working WITH a winner!” ~ A. Johnson, Escondido
Erica Miller
has provided me with superb guidance since day one of calling me to introduce
herself. Overall, she has made my home buying experience extremely fun
and rewarding, while ensuring I was comfortable along every step of the
way. She fought for me to get extra closing costs that I didn't even ask
for, simply because she wanted to benefit me as a client. There was never
a time that she was unreachable and I was always encouraged to
call her with any questions I had. Though she undoubtedly had more,
I always felt like I was her only client and she would drop what she was doing
to take care of my needs. I would highly recommend using Erica for
any buying or selling needs, as she will tirelessly work to ensure you are satisfied
above your expectations. ~1STLT M.
