We appreciate Erin's help in finding our new home!”

    “Erin exceeded my expectations in every sense of the word. From day one, she promptly set up a meeting with me to discuss the various components of selling my home. Erin knew exactly what it took to get the home ready, how to market it, and what the appropriate sales price was. Throughout the process, she was upbeat, an excellent communicator, knowledgeable and was always available to quickly answer my questions. Erin is truly an expert in her field!

  • “Erin and her team helped us sell our house in Springfield, OR recently. She was highly recommended to us by our neighbor. We liked working with her as she took time to listen to us, helped us to prep the house for the sale and never pushed for anything. She did thestaging of the house herself, and the photography taken was great. We had to move across the country before putting the house on the market, but she took care of everything in a timely fashion to help with all the processes of the sale. We felt free to talk to her about anything and she always had multiple suggestions and solutions for us to pick from. It was great working with her, and I would recommend her for anyone’s real estate needs.”

  • “Erin and Brekke were very helpful to us. We could not have navigated the sale and paperwork without their always kind help.”  

    -Loren and Judy M.

  • “Brekke did a fantastic job in every way for us. The team approach that Brekke, Erin and Leslie employ is a brilliant idea. We have worked with Leslie for a number of years, and when we called her this summer to sell our house, she introduced us to Brekke and encouraged us to use her team with Brekke as the lead. I have 100% faith and trust in Leslie but was nonetheless a little nervous about working with someone else. However, upon meeting and beginning work with Brekke, my fears were quickly allayed. Brekke is a wonderful ambassador for Windermere. She is a superb representative of the Windermere firm, comports herself with utmost professionalism, and is extremely easy and pleasant to work with. Brekke was super responsive, did a great job of keeping all of the details in view and attended to, and was a great and timely communicator with us. I felt like I was in good hands from the get-go. I would definitely recommend Brekke to anyone wanting to buy or sell property and would rehire her without question. You have a good one here, Windermere!! Work hard to keep her!”

With every challenge along the way Erin was very professional and quick to come up with various solutions to the issues. I would highly recommend her for any residential transaction.”

    -John L.

    -Renee and Patrick

  • “I have been in the mortgage business 25 years. Erin Ralston is amazing! We were basically an estate sale--lot of stuff in home/needed some cosmetic work/landscaping. My family is all out of State. We're not in town to manage much. Erin handled it all. She got us set up with people that had integrity. They did a great job. The costs were in line. She gave us great advice and followed up on every step. Got 6 offers 1st day on the market. Closed 2 weeks later & that includes working through some significant inspection issues. Had the option to use any of the top agents-she was the best of the bunch. Erin's professionalism and management of of our little 'project' were incredible. We, also, got well over our list price. THANK YOU, ERIN! If you want someone that knows real estate, cares & treats people with respect--USE ERIN!”

    -Nancy R.

    -Breanna C.

  • “Erin acted as my agent on the buy side of a recent real estate transaction in Eugene, Oregon. I had a very positive experience working with Erin and she succeeded in quickly and efficiently accomplishing my objectives. She is really everything you’d want in a real estate agent; smart, knowledgeable, current with issues and trends impacting the property market, unquestionably honest and trustworthy, energetic, responsive and well organized, straight-talking, both an excellent listener and communicator, and an extremely pleasant person to work with. Through the various stages of my transaction, I always felt that I was in the best of hands having Erin represent my interests. Erin will most definitely be my first phone call whenever I decide to embark upon any future real estate transactions in Oregon.”

    -Bob G.

  • “We were not local sellers and Erin was able to make this property a very smooth sale. She set up and managed all the repair work, estate sale and staging and made this house look beautiful! We had multiple offers on the first weekend and ending up selling the home for well over asking price. I have worked with multiple realtors in the past and Erin is by far and away THE BEST!”

    -Debra F

  • “Working with Erin Ralston Group was an absolute game-changer in our journey to purchasing a new construction home in Eugene, Oregon. From the outset, we recognized the importance of having dedicated representation, and choosing Erin proved to be the best decision we made throughout the entire process. Erin and Kelly’s guidance and expertise were evident from the get-go. They skillfully navigated us through the intricacies of the home inspection process, ensuring that every detail was thoroughly addressed. What truly set the Erin Ralston Group apart was the ability to advocate for us with the builder. They not only secured several crucial changes to the property at absolutely no cost to us but also negotiated a lower purchase price, saving us a significant amount of money. Additionally, Erin's adept negotiation skills even resulted in the builder covering $10,000 of our closing costs, further enhancing our savings. In total, Erin's efforts amounted to a remarkable $15,000 in savings for us. Her and Kelly’s knowledge of the homebuying process, coupled with their unwavering commitment to their clients' best interests, made our experience seamless and rewarding. Without hesitation, we would wholeheartedly recommend Erin and Kelly to anyone in the Eugene-Springfield area seeking an experienced and dedicated realtor. Thank you, Erin Ralston Group, for making our dream home a reality!"

    -Cher K.

  • “We met several Oregon real estate brokers this year during our search for the perfect lot in which to build our next home, but not one of them provided us with the level of friendly competence shown by Erin Ralston.

    From our first contact until the day we signed our final documents, Erin not only made herself available to answer our questions, but often provided pertinent information that we had not yet even considered. When all too many agents leave you on your own during due diligence, Erin was proactive throughout this period helping us to locate and meet all of the wonderful people from Eugene, Oregon who helped make the entire process a simple and delightful experience. Erin was timely, friendly and professional as she guided us while doing everything possible to make sure nothing was missed.

    In our modern times when property is sold and purchased through online searches followed by emails, texts and phone calls, it is not uncommon to buy a property without ever meeting your agent. While this happened to be the case for us in this purchase, Erin’s nature would not allow her to pass up the opportunity to meet us in person at the title company the day we signed the remaining documents. Again, all of this could have been done without ever meeting, but Erin wanted to personally give us a gift card as her way of thanking us.

    Thank you Erin, it has been a pleasure meeting and working with you. We will certainly take you up on your offer to provide all the many contacts needed to help us with our project.

    P.S.
    I apologize for the length of this review, but I did not have time to keep it short.”

    -Garry W.

  • “I just purchased my first home and couldn't have done this without Erin. Not knowing the ins and outs of the entire process or having much time to learn, Erin was there for me every step of the way. I couldn't have been the easiest client, but everyday I worked with her she made me feel as if I was her #1 priority. There was never a doubt she had my best interests at heart. Her professionalism, knowledge of the market and superb negotiation skills landed me the perfect home. I can't say enough good things about, Erin. If you want a top notch professional that goes above and beyond expectations, I highly recommend her. I plan to buy several more properties and I won't work with anyone else.”

    -Todd B.

  • “I truly can’t recommend Erin enough! As a first time home buyer in a competitive market, Erin helped us navigate the home buying process every step of the way never making us feel as though we were asking the wrong questions or too many questions and always provided honest, helpful responses. Erin’s extensive knowledge was invaluable as it assisted us in placing a competitive offer which secured us a home in a community we love. As first time home buyers it is the biggest purchase we have made and we are thankful that we had Erin and her colleague Courtney to guide us through the process.”

    -Elizabeth T.G.

  • “After living in our home in St. Petersburg, Florida for 28 years we decided to relocate to Eugene, Oregon where our daughter lives. We met with Erin while visiting Eugene in February and closed on the house of our dreams, sight un-seen, based only on Erin's video information on May 3, 2023. She was easy to work with and spent hours with us discussing our preferences in neighborhood, home design, general yard and garden desires. She then showed us a series of homes and continued careful discussion to hone our future selections. When we made our final choice is where Erin exceeds what you might expect of other realtors. She worked closely with the owner and the owner's realtor because we were attempting to sell our Florida home and close on our new home on the same day! She advised us daily on our new home purchase as well as providing important insight on coordination of our home sale. Erin coordinated our new home inspection, well and septic tank inspections and was available for any question at just about any time. If you're looking for a realtor with a personal touch...look no further than Erin Ralston.”

    -Joanne W.

  • “I worked with Erin Ralston to help me find and buy a home in Eugene, Oregon. Erin Ralston is absolutely the best real estate agent in Eugene. The home I made an offer on had several other offers. Erin advised me on ways to write the strongest offer possible and as a result my offer was accepted. During the inspection period she helped me negotiate repairs and I ended up getting a new roof before closing (paid by the seller). My experience working with Erin was wonderful and I would recommend Erin to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Eugene area.”

    -Eric P.

  • “Erin was absolutely amazing at helping my fiancé and I buy our first home! She was patient, very informative and helped us every step of the way. We could not have asked for a better real estate agent. If anybody is needing a real estate agent, I highly recommend her!”

    -Skylar H.

  • “Our agency purchased 3 properties from Erin over the past few years.

We have successfully purchased every property we attempted to purchase even in this tough housing market. Our success is directly related to Erin's expertise.”

    -Sherry S.

  • “Erin did an amazing job of selling my house in North Gilham. After using a different real estate broker with no success, I decided to list it with a Erin and we had multiple offers within 14 days; With one of the highest price per sq feet in the area. She did an outstanding job of marketing the house with flyers, neighborhood invites, and a champagne open house. I highly recommend using her for your next purchase or listing your home.”

    -Marcus S.

  • “I just sold my first home and cannot believe it is all done! I told Erin a few months ago that I was moving and needed to sell the house, she took it from there. Starting from getting it inspected, arranging repairs and touch-ups, staging the house, marketing it to final negotiation and closing. She showed true dedication throughout the process and there is no doubt that she really enjoys her job. She has a background in staging and she did an excellent job doing it with our existing furnitures and her own collection of home decor and furnitures. This saved us several thousand dollars. I fell in love with the staged house all over again! I cannot say enough about her, I think the best qualities in her are the honesty and sincerity. You cannot go wrong with having her on your side either buying or selling. I’ll recommend her to any friend or family buying or selling real estate property in Lane county.”

Erin is an extremely knowledgeable realtor. She is also honest, patient, easy to work with, and a great communicator. Erin Ralston is one of the finest realtors I have dealt with in my over fifty years of buying and selling land and homes. I would definitely recommend Erin to anyone seeking a realtor!

She would be the first person I recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a house!”

    -Willey

  • “I first met Erin Ralston after a lengthy conversation with Dan Cooper of dc Fine Homes about my desire to move across several states to be near family in Eugene, OR. Dan was so compassionate and personable, I knew right away I’d stumbled on the right people to help me. As fortune would have it, he was just expanding to add real estate services to his company, so he introduced me to Erin who quickly went to work understanding my needs and desires for the relocation. Though an incredibly tough market for buyers, Erin remained professional, energetic and positive through the difficult, sometimes discouraging process and ultimately found me a wonderful property off-market. I don’t believe I would have had the opportunity to purchase this home without her going the extra mile to send hundreds of letters and reach out to her contacts, eventually discovering that needle in the haystack for me. She follows up in a timely manner, doesn’t leave you hanging and knows all the right people to get the proper inspections and advisement even when timelines are uncomfortably short. As part of dc Fine Homes, Erin also has access to experts who can help get quick answers to questions about things like potential repairs and future renovation projects. Thank you Erin, Dan and all at dc Fine Homes who helped make this dream come true for me! I feel like I already have friends in Oregon and can't wait to start this new chapter there.”

  • “Working with Erin was an absolute delight. She helped us first, with the sale of a condo which had some challenging circumstances, and secondly she helped us with the purchase of a new condo for investment purposes. Both transactions happened within the same year and went very smoothly. Erin is professional to the upmost degree, not to mention extremely efficient and knowledgeable of her profession. The cherry on top is that Erin is sweet to the core and one of the most conscientious and competent people in the industry.”

    -Russ B.

  • “Erin went above and beyond through out the selling process. She always kept us up to date and made us feel comfortable through this time. She was always available to give explanations when we had questions, offered guidance, and always respected our opinions. Erin was very helpful in helping us stage our home. It sold in three days, for over the asking price! We look forward to her helping us find our new dream place and would definitely recommend her to all our friends and family.”

    -Allison W.

  • “I got Erin (and her team) involved as soon as I started thinking about selling my rental property. She gave me some great advice and we got started. This was a property that needed some work, and it turned out to be a very difficult process. I was also doing a lot of travelling during the time we got it on the market. Erin gave me a bunch of small tips, little things I could do to help sell the property and then she 'staged' the property. This was a transformation and the photos she had her photographer do were amazing. Even though the process went through a few dumps, and I wasn't around for several weeks, I was completely at ease and Erin keep me consistently updated on progress, including using electronic docu-sign for paperwork I needed to sign as we moved along. Erin and her team were just amazing, and I didn't have to worry about anything. Anything that came up (and there were many issues) she'd text or call ... give or receive direction and she would get things done (knew all the right people). Very 'on the ball'!! Very professional and I will be recommending Erin as often as I can.”

    -Andy W.

  • “Leslie and Erin were both fantastic real estate agents for us from start to finish! We shopped around for an agent and spoke to many other professionals, however, we were so impressed with this team and it was a no-brainer to work with them to find a home. We did a large majority of the home buying process from out of state, which could have been pretty risky but certainly did not feel scary with Leslie on our side. Leslie was so prompt to respond to us and quickly toured houses were were interested in (and involved us on FaceTime), which was extremely crucial in this fast moving market in Eugene. She was also extremely honest about the pros and cons of each home and neighborhood based on our wishes and budget, and was quick to identify any "red flags" in a home. Ultimately, Leslie and Erin assisted us with buying our dream home, and they made the process feel shockingly smooth and easy. Definitely could not have done it without them. Thank you so much!”

  • “Erin Ralston was amazing in the sale of our City View Street home. It was our first home, we were quite attached to it, and then it'd been a rental property for 3 years. What we went into thinking would be relatively simple, turned into a fairly major project. There were many upgrades and repairs to be done before the sale and Erin was instrumental in helping us decide what was important to get done before listing and what to wait on. I truely believe she saved us a significant amount of money in the end. The house was occupied by tenants at the time of preparation and listing, and while they are wonderful people, it was still a big logistical challenge. Erin has wonderful people skills and was so kind and helpful with them. She worked to coordinate service people with our timeline, the workers schedules and still be accommodating with the people living in the home. The buyer was very particular, and again, Erin was incredibly professional and tactful when dealing with their numerous requests. She also has the right balance of fairness, kindness and tenacity. Erin was excellent at negotiating a tough deal. When I became stressed at different points along the process, Erin never failed to calm my worries anErin Ralston was amazing in the sale of our City View Street home.
