Sell Your Home in Chapel Hill - Expert Advice

Bespoke Service. Our Level of Performance is Unrivaled.

Let Erika & Co handle every detail - serving you from listing preparation to closing.

When selling your home, it is unlikely a buyer will simply find your front door. In most cases, you have to bring your home to the buyer. Effective marketing and on-target pricing ensure that your property receives maximum exposure to attract a ready, willing, and able buyer. The appearance of your home, a buyer’s first impression and home prices in your neighborhood all affect the sale of your home. As your listing team, Erika & Co will help you present your home for sale with an optimum position in the marketplace.

Our Clients Say It All

Erika Buchholtz loves what she does, and no one does it better. With years of experience as a real estate agent, she is the consummate professional, steeped in every aspect of the business and bringing to it her engaging personality and unquestionable integrity. Selling my house, I felt that Erika and her partner Elena guided me through the process with goodwill, clear information and considerable humor. I was confident they were doing their best for me every step of the way. Once listed, my home sold almost immediately and for way over list price, thanks to its top notch prepping and staging by Erika and her team, and Erika's superb negotiating skills. What one can expect in working with Erika & Co.: excellence, integrity and great results.

FRANCES D.
Working with Erika and Elena over the past few weeks has been nothing short of fantastic. From start to finish we were able to list, sell, and close our Mother’s home, in only a few weeks. We listed Thursday, accepted a contract on Monday, and closed 3 weeks later, and for top dollar! Selling our beloved Mother’s home and having multiple family members involved is not an easy task to navigate. Erika and her team did it with ease. Erika knew how to successfully market our property for top results! Her eye for detail and what it takes to make the home feel like new again is a balance of managing new buyers' expectations and the monies needed to ensure the home is presented beautifully and timely! Putting our trust in Erika and Elena, with their expertise and professionalism, was the best decision we’ve ever made.

LAUREN R.
Erika and Elena were beyond amazing during the entire process of selling my house, from the initial conversation to the final closing! Their knowledge and professionalism are outstanding and they made me feel comfortable during each step of the process. They were both immediate with their responses and presented me with a detailed timeline of the selling process together with all they would arrange to get my house market-ready handling all of the offers and explaining the differences. The whole experience was seamless and I would recommend them to anyone selling their home. Top of their field in all respects!
