Eric Riviere was our realtor, and we cant say enough good things about him. We moved from out of state with a new baby and two dogs, so needless to say, it was the most stressful move of our lives! However, Eric alleviated so much of our stress and worries because he was constantly in touch with us, extremely responsive, and always had our best interest at heart. He is very professional, but he still makes you feel like you are family. He is extremely knowledgeable about the New Orleans and surrounding areas, so he was such a big help for us, since we knew nothing about it! He also has wonderful

First-class customer service from start to finish. Purchased a second home from out of state, and the process was so easy and stress-free. This is THE place to go if you're looking for a professional, knowledgable, friendly, responsive agent. Thanks, Eric!

Friendly. Knowledgeable. Professional- That's how I'd describe GSPG. As the owner of Property Inspectors LLC, I have had the opportunity to work with Eric and his clients as he takes them through one of the most important decisions they face....Finding & Buying a home, and for some, it's their first home. He has a solid networking connection with the right individuals to get the job done....and done right!! Good Luck & God Bless !!!

I bought my home with Eric almost 2 years ago and it was such an easy process. He made everything super simple and convient and if I had a question he was always quick with an answer! I highly suggest Eric and his team if you are looking to buy or sell a house!

I would need many more than 140 characters to explain how awesome Eric was throughout our entire process. From the work he put in daily and his excellent timely communication, he left not one question unanswered. Our home was under contract within days of listing and the closing went without a single hitch. His greatest attribute, "he listens" which ensures "you" get exactly what "you" want, not just strung along with uncertainty. He pretty much became part of our extended family as a result of our process. Truly a trustworthy great guy, friend and pro!! I send everyone I know his way with full

We cannot express how grateful we are to Gulf South Pinnacle Group and also to Eric! Not only was our house sold in what we would call record time, but Eric was attentive, informative, and very hands on and communicative with us! Any questions we may have had were answered, always immediately and were answered in a way that we were able to understand outside of the real estate lingo. THANK YOU Eric and Team!!!

Great people. Eric will treat you like family from the first time you talk to him. As a first time home owner he treated me with respect and I never felt like a number to him. I have to mention it took me 3 years to buy a house and his Patients is second to none!
