WHAT MY CLIENTS
ARE SAYING
"I had a great experience using Erica! She was always available for questions and is easy to communicate with. Her knowledge of houses in the triad is great and she is always willing to go the extra mile to find a property that works for you! I could not recommend her more!"
Ann Miller
"Erica's marketing procedure of putting up a For Sale sign with a Coming Soon sign beside it put my house under contract 3 weeks before it was officially on the market. She is knows the market and is very responsive to any questions I had. She worked hard to make sure the procedure was smooth."
Lisa Morales
"She helped alleviate my anxiety by being trustworthy, diligent, and reassuring! She walked with me through the process with patience, and is well versed in the real estate world! I would refer Ms. Erica Lee to anyone who is serious with any buying and/or home selling needs!"
Maggie Robertson
"Erica was always available via phone or text and helped so much working through the process and issues right up until the evening of final closing date. I appreciate all the help during this life change for me."
Daniella Garcia
"Erica is extremely hardworking and compatible. Were picky when we were looking to buy a home but Tara was patient the whole time throughout and offered us her professional opinion. Erica is such a sweet lady and she makes sure that you’re comfortable throughout the whole process. In the end, here hard work paid off when she helped us find out dream home."

HOW I AM
DIFFERENT
I’m not flashy—but I’m unforgettable where it counts.
In both luxury and commercial real estate, I lead with intelligence, intention, and instinct. I stay calm when the stakes are high and move quickly when opportunity knocks. Clients come to me when they want someone who’s not just in the room—but quietly running the room.
I adjust to your personality, protect your privacy, and handle the details so precisely, you’ll wonder how anything ever felt complicated.
