Known for her client-centered nature, Erica Harris sees her clients as more than just a transaction. “Understanding peoples’ needs and how I can meet those needs is my main focus,” she says. “I deeply care, and that is not something you can fake.”

Harris found her way into the real estate field after a long career in law. Despite her successes in litigation, Harris discovered there was something missing in her professional life. “I realized that, in my business career, I was missing something very important, and that is the human connection,” she says. “I enjoy working with people and connecting with them.”

Touting a transparent and authentic business style, Harris says her clients know exactly what is going on throughout the entire buying and selling process. “Communication is the cornerstone to everything,” she says. “Understanding the clients’ needs, goals, wants and priorities allow me to provide them with the most-important information to their success.”

Harris has received only 5-star reviews from her clients, who mention that she always exceeds expectations. “Buying a home can be very stressful, but Erica made us feel confident about our offer, supported us in the process, and made us feel thrilled with our new home,” one happy client shared. “We also felt no pressure at any point. She kept us calm and rational through the bidding process, making sure we stuck to our guns about our limits and didn’t get caught up in the moment.”

Harris’s clients see her as a true ally and personal cheerleader who’s always responsive to their every need. She makes sure that her clients are educated and empowered to take on the market together. “I recently moved into my own home this year and became very attuned to the stress, work and emotional components of going through the process,” she says. “I walk through the fire with my clients.”
