"I have known and worked with Erika Buchholtz for almost ten years now. She sold all of my homes in the Southern Village neighborhood in Chapel Hill for many years. Her professionalism, integrity, and knowledge of the housing market are unmatched in the Triangle area. Her negotiating skills are fair, firm and confident. When it came time to choose my own realtor for the Cross Creek neighborhood in Chapel Hill, I did not hesitate in calling Erika."

"Erika's professionalism, dedication, support and warmth are exceptional. I have no hesitation in recommending her for any real estate transaction. During the summer of 2006, my son and I relocated from Massachusetts to North Carolina. I was given Erika's contact information from mutual friends in Massachusetts. From the start, Erika was gracious, friendly and competent. She spent time listening to my concerns and desires regarding location, living conditions as well other issues surrounding the potential relocation.

Being a mother of a young son, I had many questions regarding his academic and social adjustment. Erika was reassuring and proactive on all fronts. It was obvious that she had listened carefully when it came time for housing recommendations. She continuously addressed the topics we had discussed in every situation. In fact, I ended-up purchasing my home site unseen because of the faith I had in Erika.

Erika was instrumental in making our relocation and transition a smooth and successful one. Not only did she logistically pull off a house hunting trip, sale and move-in, but she became a supportive friend to us in the process. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Erika and believe that an ordinarily stressful event was instead a very positive and pleasant experience in large measure because of her. We truly couldn't be happier, our home and the neighborhood are perfect!"

"Erika, I just wanted to let you know that your work as a sales representative and sales manager in Southern Village and later in Treyburn was outstanding. As I have repeated numerous times to many of my colleagues, we have had very few sales representatives in other neighborhoods that have even come close to achieving the high level of professionalism and expertise that you always exhibit. Your are the very best in the business!!

Good luck to you in your future endeavors and I hope we have a chance to work together again in the future."

"I have worked with Erika since 1994 and selected her as my leading sales person for Southern Village. Time and time again she impressed me with her sales results. Her negotiation skills, ability to bring out the best in others and care she takes in all she does is second to none. I would want her on my team in any real estate transaction."

"Erika, Thank you. Your competence and talent for real estate, as well as your skills in interior design and staging, have made the purchase and subsequent sale of our home in Glenhaven (Chapel Hill) a positive experience - and, in fact, the highlight of the entire experience. Through this process, we have become close friends. While I have worked with many real estate brokers during several corporate moves, I believe you are without peer. You are the best and outstanding in every way. All my best and thank you again."

Mark W. Kirby, President, Dixon/Kirby & Co., Inc.
"Dear Erika: As I was leaving one of our new neighborhoods yesterday, I wistfully lamented that all of Dixon/Kirby's houses aren't still represented by you. No kidding. You became my standard when we worked together in Southern Village and, unfortunately for all my other new home sales agents, you still are the standard. We've had the good fortune to work in some great neighborhoods which attract top-notch agents and you rise to the top.

Specifically, your enthusiasm is both contagious and believable. To that I would add that I observed extensive market knowledge; knowledge and insight that helped us build houses that sold very quickly.

When we worked together in Southern Village, I always felt that you balanced your fiduciary duties to me, Bryan Properties, and the buyers. It's a rare and significant accomplishment that you could effectively, reasonably and equitably advocate for both sides of the negotiating table. I felt exceedingly well represented, and I believe the buyers of our houses would agree.

Quite simply, you are a dream Realtor. I only wish we could afford to secure your services exclusively.

I would wish you immense success, but I believe you will have it anyway. If we may ever be of assistance, you know how to find us! Best, Mark W. Kirby"
