Working with Eric and Spencer at the Buyer’s Broker was a truly wonderful experience. If we could give them 15 stars, we would… Honestly!

Eric came highly recommended to me by at least 10 friends/colleagues, and I completely understand why. The team at the Buyer’s Broker were responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and ethical throughout our home buying process. Their competence was evident from our first “get to know you” meeting to our closing. Not only do they bring with them generations of real estate experience in Southeast Michigan, they also have extensive experience building homes themselves, which was helpful as we walked through homes and had questions about possible issues, repairs, etc.

Eric was calm and collected as we decided to make an offer on a home, both providing us with helpful guidance and giving us space to make an informed decision that was right for us. As we all know, the whole endeavor of buying a home can be stressful, but Eric and Spencer made the experience easy to understand and manage. They went above and beyond. We would highly recommend their services to friends and family!

Hi! So you’re looking for a house. Well,

if I can tell you just one thing, you really need a buyer’s broker! Any other real estate

agent has a fiduciary responsibility to the seller, regardless of how
they shake your hand, smile, how friendly they are… their purpose is to make the SELLER money, not to save YOU money; or making sure that you’re aware of any possible negatives of the property…well, just forget that. Get a buyer’s broker.

I highly recommend Eric Walz. No other choice made any sense for us. Eric fulfilled our needs admirably, and we are even friends with him to this day.

I was in California and my wife was here in Michigan, I felt right along with them in the search, every step of the way.
I had a lot of emails and phone calls from/to Eric, and this communication is essential to how I felt about the process.

Eric was very committed to finding the home which was right for us. His extensive experience in building and in remodeling meant that we could fully discuss design/structural issues, understanding the true condition of each house that we saw during our six-month search. I have to say that it was a tremendous relief to finally find “our house”. During the whole process, he never gave up and was always just a phone call or email away. Eric expertly guided us through negotiation, inspection and all the legalities, always addressing our interests.

We truly benefited from his dedication, which made our house-buying experience a welcome adventure!

Sincerely,

Steven J. Richardson

My fiancé and I were first time homebuyers when we purchased our home in May of 2007. Before we met Eric we had tried a couple of other realtors who were pleasant enough but not nearly as knowledgeable about the market or house construction as Eric.

When buying a house it is imperative to have someone who truly knows the ins and outs not only of the market and buying process but also of the houses themselves. You must have an agent who can tell the difference between a quality home and a decent looking house with faulty foundation. The price of a house becomes irrelevant when soon after purchase you are faced with costly hidden repairs. As a licensed builder Eric was able to explain if a crack in a basement wall was the result of normal settling or something to be concerned with. He could tell the difference between a true structural issue and something that was cosmetic or a simple home repair. He advised us to have a basement expert inspect one house, that we then ended up passing on, and recommended a good home inspector when we ultimately found what we thought was the right house, which we now call home. When some issues arose during closing, he made sure that it was addressed immediately with the sellers agent and followed through with completing our requests.

Eric moved beyond the role of an agent and became an advocate. He negotiated the best possible deal for the purchase of our home and we are incredibly satisfied with the end result. Besides all of the professional aspects of purchasing a home with Eric, he is incredibly nice, funny and a complete pleasure to work with. He listened closely to all of our concerns, diligently found the answers to our questions and gave us honest advice when we needed it most.

We have talked to several people who bought houses around the same time that we did and no one has had an experience as pleasurable as ours. It has been nearly a year since we purchased our home and Eric is still available to help us with home repairs or answer any questions we have. In the process of buying our home we found far more than an agent, we found a great friend. I would absolutely never buy a house, or recommend that anyone else buy a house without him.

When my husband and I started looking for our first house, we had very different ideas of what we wanted. He wanted to live in Ann Arbor and I wanted to live in a township. All we really agreed on was that we wanted a fireplace. So when we met Eric and Mona, we presented some challenges.
They were very patient as we visited a number of listings. As we looked, we got better ideas of what was really important to us, and so did Eric. Not once did we feel pressured to buy a house that didn’t seem right for us.
After our daughter was born, we stopped looking for almost a year. When we were ready again, Eric was ready to help and within a few weeks we found the perfect house. Eric helped us negotiate an awesome deal, and a year later, we are absolutely thrilled that this house is now our home. Of course, it does have a fireplace!
If we ever have to buy another house, we will not consider anyone else to help us find it.

Thanks Eric and Mona!
