Read: Erin's Bio

Web: erinroserealtor.com

Erin did an amazing job finding our new home. Moving out of state already has enough stressors and Erin made finding a home a breeze. After getting to know each other she was able to find what we were looking for. Even when we were having some problems with selling our home in California she was calm and always told us this would work out and everything would be just fine. She was always there to answer our calls or texts. She even did a face time call to show us the home we were interested in before my husband flew out to see it in person. We really enjoyed this experience with Erin and recommend her to anyone that is looking for their next home.

Isabella Clark

5 Stars for Erin Rose. My daughter got a new job in Phoenix and she had one week to find a place to live and move. Erin took the time to discuss what she was looking for and price range. Within 24 hours (if not sooner) Erin had sent over several prospective properties, and worked within our schedule to set up tours. She spent the afternoon with us touring the properties and my daughter picked the one she liked best. That afternoon we had our application in and by the next day a lease was signed. Erin's knowledge about the Phoenix community and her energetic personality made hunting for an apartment fun in a very stressful time! Now my daughter has a great real estate agent when she is ready to buy her first home.

Diana Winnpita

Erin has helped my wife and I buy and sell multiple houses now our most recent one October 2023. She is always knowledgeable of areas throughout the valley and willing to take the time to get her clients, the perfect house or the perfect buyer for their needs. she goes above and beyond for her clients and will always recommend her to anyone needing a realtor in Arizona.

David Wilson

Erin always answered our calls, texts emails or responded within a few minutes. She was always supportive and honest about properties we looked at. She put our best interests first.

John Smona

One of the most proactive real estate professionals I have ever worked with. Before Erin, I worked with 2 other realtors that left me feeling underwhelmed and wondering what value they were bringing to the table. When Erin entered the picture, it became clear that she had the skills and talent needed in this tough housing market to get the job done. She communicated proactively and professionally with both the seller's agent and me. I felt like I finally had an ally in my home search, and ultimately in the negotiations for the property I chose to put an offer on. Erin was able to close the deal and the whole process was done so professionally and proficiently. I would recommend Erin to anyone looking for a true ally in this crazy housing market. Buying or selling.

Deborah Han

Erin is the best! She is super friendly and approachable! She is very knowledgeable and has always been quick to respond and answer any questions or concerns we had. She met us at our new build many times, so that we wouldn’t feel alone and lost. When my husband first inquired online, she took interest in our family’s needs immediately! Even when we thought we weren’t going to move forward in the very beginning, she was still warm and assured us she would be there for us when we were ready… and she WAS! Thank you, Erin, for taking the time to help us research and find the perfect area and price for our new home. We love that you are still around, answering questions, even after we closed! You are stuck with us now!

ALEXANDRIA FLOWERS

Erin is absolutely wonderful to work with! She has been incredibly personal and immediately responsive, it’s like having a friend working with you. Erin was patient with us as we looked for months at many homes, looking for the perfect fit for us. She did not pressure us into looking at homes when we weren't ready. She also helped sell our previous home, and made the experience incredibly easy and hands off for us. She really cares about her clients. I can not over state how lucky our family was to find Erin in this home buying and selling process!

Jennifer Hokinsane

I would highly recommend working with Erin to help find a home. She was very knowledgeable of the current marked and different areas which eased the stress of moving to a new city for a job relocation. When looking at homes she was patient and accommodating with our family as we have a toddler and young baby. Erin was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions or concerns we had even after the closing of our new home. I can not say enough how happy I am that we were connected with Erin who helped our home buying process go as smoothly as possible!

Mauron Nikka

I couldn't have bought my house or got it up and running so quickly without Erin! She made sure that my interests were protected. She kept me informed of the progress of my home and even helped me find a licensed repairmen to install my appliances. My parents are now using her. I highly recommend Erin!!!

Michele Mcsherry

What can I say. Erin is AWESOME! From the very first time we spoke I felt like I had known her for years. She was professional but also your friend. She was always available for me. She responded promptly. She know what she was talking about. I can't say enough. She really was AWEOME! and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you ERIN!!!!!!!!!!

Darlene Piccoli

Erin was so helpful during our home buying process. She was very patient, detail oriented, and extremely thoughtful. She listened to our preferences and helped us find our perfect home. She was a great communicator with us and the sellers. Erin really made buying our home less stressful especially during the pandemic. We appreciate that she navigate this process quickly and went the extra mile to help us remotely purchase a home in a new state!

Lorraine Becerra

She is the best Realtor I've ever encountered. She went to bat for me and my family ensuring we found a home. When others told us no or that our credit wasn't good enough, Erin found the perfect option to work for us. She was truly sent by God. We love her. She is now apart of our family. If you want a Realtor that truly cares about you, your needs, and your family, Erin is the perfect Realtor! I give her 10 out of 5 stars

Grace White

I am a first time home buyer. I was walking into a whole experience I knew nothing about! I talked to different realtors and I was 1 minute (most likely less) into speaking with Erin and I knew she was the one. She is very knowledgeable! Had so much patience with me and answered all of my questions. She never made me feel any less about my questions. I ended up with buying a new build that was a 5 month process. Through out everything she stayed in consistent contact with me. Kept communication with the builders. She is simply the best! Thank you Erin Rose! You’ve made this a great experience!

James Anderson

You will not find a better agent. Erin went the extra mile, figuratively and literally. She worked tirelessly helping me find the perfect home and was with me every step of the way during the process. She made what should have been a daunting task much less stressful. Always available and treated me like I was her only client

Cyndi Valencia

Erin is AMAZING. There aren't enough words to describe her. We could NOT have been more blessed to have her on our team. She listened to us, our needs, desires and took notes along the way. She was relentless in helping us find our home. Along the journey she became family. It was an incredible experience working with her. Erin's knowledge of the real estate field was impressive. Her knowledge of the areas we were looking at undeniably the best! Even though she had other clients, when we needed her she always made us feel like we were her #1 priority. She was our biggest Cheerleader from beginning to end. There is NOTHING but great things to say about Erin, her skills as an agent and customer relations skills. She is a natural. She has that personal touch! Exceedingly satisfied with her as our agent!! Highly recommend!!!!!

Sharon Russell

Erin was and has been excellence. She is professional knowledgeable and you will enjoy her personality. I highly recommend you contact her if you are purchasing or selling your home.

Ron Stockett

Erin listened to what I wanted and I feel she understood what I wanted better than I did. She was fun to talk to and I felt that I could trust her right off the bat! Her last little surprise for me was the most thoughtful and perfect finishing touch! I would choose her again and again!

Emily Bennett

This girl is AMAZING! She was so patient while I changedy mind a little housand times and was so picky lol. She took us to see what we wanted and found us homes that fit our criteria. Helped us negotiate a fair price and we couldn't be happier!
