It has been a real pleasure to have Eric Tomlinson manage the sale of my fathers house (who has dementia and is disabled). As my fathers legal agent, Eric took the time to convey to me the nuances of a home sale and gave me clear direction. He coached me on how to get the house ready for the market and performed a thorough market assessment of comparable homes in the area to establish a reasonable price for listing of my fathers home. Eric was always available and prompt in returning my phone calls. His professional approach to marketing the home gave me much comfort and resulted in multiple

We have purchased two homes with Serina and she has always been responsive and professional. She strives to understand what we are looking for and custom tailors the home search to meet our unique criteria. Her strongest attribute is her ability to expediently move on home offers and ensure all parties are working together to close escrow on time. I would recommend Serina to anyone searching for a home in the SW Riverside area.

My husband and I worked with Eric Tomlinson on the recent purchase of our beautiful dream home. Eric is personable, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. In this market we were prepared to have offers rejected on more than one home, so its important to note that Eric helped us get the first house we fell in love with. Eric devoted late nights and weekends ensuring all of the details were thought of and taken care of. We were impressed by his team and their ability to make a 21 day close as seamless as possible. His help has extended beyond the date of close as he continues to provide endless

Eric Tomlinson is detail oriented, responsive and sincerely cares about what he is doing. Once we hired Eric to sell our property, he immediately went to work assisting us with recommendations, contractors and coordination to quickly and efficiently prepare the home for sale. Because of Eric, the process of repairing and upgrading the house for listing took only two weeks. We were amazed. Throughout the process Eric was accessible, communicative and kind. We highly recommend Eric and would be thrilled to do business with him in the future.
