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 Rose is amazing! She was so reassuring and helpful since I was a first time home buyer. She helped me through the entire process and was always available to help me with any questions I had. (And I had a lot!). lol! She helped get me the best deal while keeping my “investment” in mind. Really looked out for my best interest. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. I know when it comes time sell or buy again, Erin will be the one I reach out to. Thanks Erin!!!!

When I first had contact with Erin I was in Silverton, OR. I told her via phone what I was looking for and would come to AZ to view her tressures. She found the home I now live and she went over the top to find it. She is outgoing, bubbly, hard worker and now a lifetime friend.
