I am very glad I chose to work with Mike for my first home purchase. His professionalism, expertise and promptness made it a stress-free and easy process. Mike is very thorough; he took the time to explain the process and the numbers to me. Along the way he clearly advised me on the best choices to save the most money.
You can't go wrong with Eagle Nest Realty! A great one stop shop for a tremendous realtor and good competitive loan options.

As first time homebuyers and being relatively new to San Diego, My wife and I were nervous going into the home buying process. Mike carefully took time to walk us through the entire process, respectfully answered our questions, vouched for our interests, and we successfully closed on an amazing home in a very competitive area in San Diego. Initially, when we first began looking into buying a home, we were a bit discouraged that we would be successful in finding and closing on a home that we liked, especially with going the VA loan option, but Mike and Eagle Nest R&M allowed us to feel confident that we could close despite a very competitive market. They took the time to explain things thoroughly and guided us in a way that was not expected, but very appreciated. We strongly recommend Eagle Nest R&M for anyone, whether you are are a current/former servicemember, first time homebuyer, or simply someone who wants to know and explore their homebuying options. It was a painless process and Mike and his team's respect and professionalism went a long way.

I can't recommend Mike Erickson and Eagle Nest Realty enough! I was first introduced to Mike when I was ready to purchase my first home in 2011. It was a great experience then and I also reached out when my mom moved to CA in 2015 and she purchased a home, again a great experience. Most recently, my mom and I decided to relocate so I called Mike again to sell both homes. His expertise and help throughout the entire process was invaluable! He listened to my timeline and helped us establish a plan for getting ready to sell, listing, open houses, and the sale process after offers were accepted. He kept me well informed throughout every single step and never made me feel silly or overbearing when I came with lots of questions or different scenarios I wanted to walk through. When outside assistance was needed (like contractors to make some updates before listing or financing), Mike had great recommendations for folks and it was seamless all around. As I was working with Mike for my California home sales, I was working with another agent out of state for the next home purchases and the experiences were like night and day. She couldn't compare to Mike's thoroughness.Truly can't thank Mike enough for his services, kindness, and expertise. My only sadness is I've now moved out of state and out of his territory for any future home sales or purchases!

Mike showed great knowledge and understanding of the current real estate market. He walked through my house and told us what had to be repaired, updated and/or replaced if I wanted to get serious buyers interested. He provided recommendations for very reliable workers who responded immediately for electrical, general carpentry, cleaning, and termite repair and tenting. We were well prepared for a 2-day open house, where we received multiple offers. He continued to advise me throughout closing and did a great job keeping a complicated process simple. Highly recommend Mike Erickson at Eagle Nest to anyone needing a real estate or mortgage professional.

For starters, Mike and his team is AWESOME. He saved us almost $28k!!! A little background: My wife and I found a great forever home. We were working with a lender, getting deep into the process. Our offer was accepted, we put a good faith deposit down and we were now in escrow. Once we received the loan estimate from our lender, we still owed about $8k on top of our good faith deposit. That just didn't sit well with us. In a roundabout way, we got Mike's contact info, and reached out to him on a Friday. He worked tirelessly all weekend and got us extremely better numbers. Not only did he save us almost $28k, but he also explains EVERYTHING. We've never bought a home before so there were a lot of things we hadn't seen before that we had questions on. Mike would go line by line on the loan estimate and other documents on the phone with us. Although we switched lenders mid escrow, Mike was so prompt in his work and extremely diligent, that we closed only ONE DAY after our initial estimated close day. If you're looking for a home, this is your guy. Working with Mike will be one of the best decisions you'll make when looking for your next home.

My husband and I could not say enough about how amazing working with Mike was, not only professionally but financially and personally, as well!We switched lenders while already in escrow and Mike made us feel so comfortable in the way he explained everything in detail, was able to save us close to 27k in closing costs, and still closed in only 26 days!!!My husband is a Marine Corps Veteran so we were able to utilize the VA loan. We were already in escrow on a property at the top of our budget and when we received the closing cost estimate from the lender we were working with at the time, we did not think we would be able to responsibly continue with the sale. We received Mike’s name from a friend and gave him a call to see if there was anything that might be different in what rates he could get for us. He quickly got back to us and estimated savings of 24k in closing costs with only an estimated 3 day extension in closing. He and his team then, very diligently, walked us through the best was to switch lenders in escrow - communicated wonderfully with our former lender, relator, and escrow officer that allowed us a seamless and as stress free process as possible.From there Mike and his wonderful team did an amazing job communicating throughout the process. When all was said and done, Mike was able to get us to closing only ONE DAY after the original date (we only had a 25 day closing) and saved us close to 27k!!!Mike and his amazing team are the reason we’re in our new home!

I used Mike 6 years ago to buy my house in Fallbrook, and when it came time to sell, he provided the same incredible service for the sale as he did the purchase. He always has excellent communication, is adept at handling unforeseen issues, and has a large network of repairmen/handymen to get the house ready for sale. In a horrible real estate market, he got me an excellent price for my house, and walked me through the selling process every step of the way. Highly recommended!

Working with Eagle Nest was an absolute pleasure! We had the unfortunate experience of trying to buy in a seller’s market. The choices were slim and moving quickly, but Mike really went out of his way to understand our budget, tastes, and needs. He picked up on our tastes very quickly and didn’t waste any time finding homes or pressing other agents for us. Moreover, my wife and I were first-time buyers, so a lot of the nuances to house-hunting (mortgages, insurance, etc.) were an overload, but Mike made the whole process seamless and very clear. He never shied away from explaining and answering our questions – he would often explain background information that really helped clarify the bigger picture around loans, taxes, or insurance. He’s been in the CA real estate world for a long time, so he has a wealth of knowledge surrounding trends, laws, taxes, or developments. He was always willing to work with any last-minute demands or requests, and he was quick to reach if we needed him. Mike was very trustworthy. We never doubted that he had our best interests at heart. I would highly recommend Eagle Nest to any friends or family that would be buying/selling in the area!

Eagle Nest Realty helped me buy and sell my house. As a first time home buyer, it was important to me that I had someone I could trust to walk me through the process. Mike and Ted Erickson are fantastic realtors and total class acts. They walked me through every question I had and helped me get into a great home for a great price. Due to my initial positive experience with Eagle Nest, they were the first I thought of when it came time to sell. I received the same quality service my second time around. Ted even took time out of his day to help me clean up my backyard before we listed the house because he knew it would be a tough job for one person. I did not ask him to do this nor pay him for it, he just saw a problem and decided he would help. This is the kind of quality service you can expect from Eagle Nest. I truly cannot say enough good things about this company and the Erickson family. Do yourself a favor and use them!!!

Our loan started at another institution and was met with an obstacle that appeared to be a dead end. So, I decided to try a broker and went through the web, looked at a couple, called one, they didn’t answer. Proceeded to call Mr. Erickson’s and he actually answered the phone. I felt good about this interaction already.Our family had experienced a series of huge crisis and he calmly explained and helped me understand the process and possibilities. I could tell he knew what he was doing because he explained it in a way I could understand. He was ALWAYS diligent, patient, professional and prompt. We had several people involved in our loan and he made them all feel important, needed and always answered repetitive questions. I am just amazed at his capability and to pull this loan off after meeting close to 20 contingencies. I really don’t think another could of done this loan or would have cared enough to. It’s so nice and refreshing to have good people in a business world that aren’t just looking out for their next dollar. To say we are grateful is an understatement.Thank you Mr. Erickson

SUPERIOR SERVICE YOU CAN COUNT ONI have known of Eagles Nest Realty & Mike Erickson for years. I used Mike when I bought the property years ago (along with several other neighbors) and definitely would not use anyone but Eagle Next to sell the property. Mike and his team are honest, trustworthy, professional and reliable. The service provided is beyond superb by the entire team from Mike to his son, Ted, along with Nicki. It takes a "village" and all personnel associated with Eagle Nest Realty are consummate professionals (including the notary) making the entire process from beginning to end seamless. Always available to answer questions and never overlooking any details along with being very informative so you know what to expect. Definitely a Standard of Excellence which I will not hesitate to recommend over and over again.
