“Eric is the best- it was so easy to work with him and he was very flexible in finding time to show us houses. He really listened to our needs and concerns. As first time home buyers we didn't know what to expect, but Eric made the entire process so pleasant and positive.”
~ Michael & Carly, Graduate Hospital 2010
“A friend of a friend told me about this great guy who would be able to help me with buying my first house. Eric turned out to be that guy and more. He was very helpful in pointing out areas I had not considered, always on hand to answer questions and work with the sellers to negotiate contract. Without a doubt I would use Eric for my Realtor time and time again.”
~ Paula H., East Falls 2010
“I couldn't (and still can't) believe how "easy" Eric made everything for me. From beginning to end, Eric made purchasing a home a very pleasant and fun experience. He's always available! He was on vacation and was still checking in on the status of my offer for me. I wouldn't work with anyone else.”
~Jeff G., Northern Liberties 2010
“Don’t believe what they say. Buying a house doesn’t have to be hard or stressful. Eric was a huge help in buying a house to say the least. He made the entire process almost effortless. Furthermore, his attention to detail was amazing. He was there every step of the way to make sure that we were happy, well informed, and in the house of our dreams. He showed a level of care that you can only get from a friend.”
~Trish & Eric, Manayunk 2010
“I am SO fortunate to have met Eric Fox and to have him as my realtor. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the housing market, about the value and condition of the actual buildings and neighborhoods in the city. It was so important for him to really find out what I wanted in a home and he was instrumental in helping me find it. He is so patient and kind and extremely generous about his time and expertise. He really wanted to be sure he helped me find MY HOME. He really went MANY extra miles for me because I was so indecisive, scared really, about making my first home purchase. I think the thing that REALLY puts Eric head and shoulders above ANY realtor I have ever met is his heartfelt desire to make sure that I bought THE right HOME for me… NOT that I quickly chose a house so he could close the deal. Everyone should be as lucky as me in having Eric as my realtor! I tell ANY and ALL of my friends who are considering purchasing a home to call Eric…. He made my experience really pleasant despite my fears about making such a big decision. The one word to sum up my experience with Eric - fantastic!!”
~Maggie O., Art Museum 2010
“Not only was he very patient with me wanting to see all the places I found online but he also had excellent suggestions that he found, saving the best for last which is the unit that I bought. The process of buying new construction was new to me. In the past I have always bought old to renovate so the process was very different and without saying, "delayed". He assisted me through all the delays and with all the traveling I do, he was a huge help. I would refer Eric to anyone, especially friends because I know he will do right by them.”
~Carl A., Bella Vista 2010
“We LOVE, love, love our house…We’ve met lots of nice neighbors…We bought a really great house.”
~ Nancy & Al, University City 2010
“...this condo is one of the best things that has happened to me so I thank you for all that you have done! You will definitely be referred over and over again.”
~ David W., Rittenhouse Sq. 2009
"As first time homebuyers, we really had no clue about the house hunting and settlement process. Eric listened to what we wanted and was able to direct us to homes that really fit our lifestyle and price range. Through the entire process he shared his wealth of knowledge about the Graduate Hospital neighborhood as well as houses in general. Eric also made sure that the settlement process went smoothly and that all the details and repairs were taken care of for our house. We highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a house in the area and will definitely work with Eric when it is time to sell our current house."
~ Ellen and Terry, Graduate Hospital 2009
"We worked with Eric to buy our first home. We met him at an open house on 21st and Christian, and then worked with him over the course of two months to find the house that met our criteria. During multiple weekend sessions, we looked at various houses in our price range, and Eric was able to provide extra information based on his familiarity of the area. He was very attentive, helpful, and honest. The entire process was very professional and personalized, and we look forward to working with Eric again in the future."
~ Jill and Ryan, Graduate Hospital 2009
"Eric made our first house search and purchase as easy and painless as possible. For a first time buyer, the process can be overwhelming - Eric helped us with any questions and walked us through every step. We are so happy with our house and thank Eric for all the help he has provided. We've recommended Eric to friends already and hope to use him for our next house purchase"
~ Tracie and Jonathan, Passyunk Square 2009
“Our experience with Eric was literally the most ideal experience a first time home buyer could ask for. He had so much patience with us, and we never felt like he was just trying to push us towards a house to wrap up the deal. After a few visits, he seemed to understand what our style was, our long term goals, and what kind of house suited us. He was so accessible, honest about answering questions or directing us to someone else, and so personable! We felt very lucky to have had him on our side, and would absolutely use him as a realtor again, have recommended him to friends, and feel like he is one of those people who found his niche.“
~ Vera and Scott, South Philly 2009
“Eric Fox helped me find the apartment of my dreams! He went far beyond the call of duty in working tirelessly on every step of the process.“
~ Alex G., Center City 2009
“I've done 6 transactions with Eric so far. When buying, Eric quickly picks up on what you want and doesn’t waste time on unsuitable properties. When selling, he challenges you to make it as “marketable” as possible. He’s even been known to bake cookies at his open houses. I couldn't dream of using anyone else.”
~ Mike H., Graduate Hospital 2008
“Eric was instrumental in the sale of my property within an uncharacteristically short time frame given the current market conditions. After languishing on the market for over 6 months, I handed the marketing of my property over to Eric with the instructions that it must be sold quickly at specific minimum price. What the previous agent could not accomplish in 6 months time, Eric accomplished within a month at the height of the turmoil in the housing market. He not only worked hard, but he worked smart, as well by targeting the right prospective buyers and buyer’s agents. In all, he did a masterful job and after working with numerous agents within Philadelphia, I consider him to be clearly the best in the business.”
~ Matt M., Graduate Hospital 2008
“We are so glad we had Eric as our agent. Our house-hunting and later our closing process went smoothly from start to finish, and much of that was due to Eric. He got back to us quickly on all our questions and was a great guide leading us from house to house (to house to house ...). After a lot of searching, we ended up with a terrific house in the area. Even after we closed, Eric continued to be there for us with recommendations about the neighborhood and the city more broadly. We highly recommend him.”
~Jean and Jeremy, Fitler Square 2008
“We met several brokers before deciding to ask Eric to help us with our new home purchase. Not only did he really know our neighborhood inside and out, he was incredibly nice and easy to work with and wasn’t pushy at all. Probably most importantly, he really took personal responsibility for every single step of the transaction so that when closing day came, things were incredibly smooth and easy. We love our home and don’t plan on going anywhere for a long time but when we do, Eric will be our first call.”
~ Anne and Mike, Graduate Hospital 2008
“Being a first time buyer, I was very uneducated on the process. I was so grateful a friend recommended Eric. He educated me, help me set realistic expectations based on my price point and neighborhoods. He stayed on top of every aspect of my transaction from the minute I made an offer to closing. I never had to worry about missing a step! Eric went out of his way to make the buying experience pleasant and seamless. When you deal with Eric Fox, you are dealing with the best!!”
~ Roxanne C., Old City 2008
“I am writing this letter on behalf of Eric Fox. I cannot begin to thank him for everything he did last year to make my home purchase in Philadelphia so pleasant. As a first time home buyer he showed great consideration and patience. I really appreciated how comfortable Eric made me feel during the whole process. I was incredibly impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail. I remember our initial discussions about what I was looking for in a home. With little guidance from me, he was able to pick up on my interests and help me to explore the city.
I had complete confidence in his ability to efficiently manage the purchase of my home. Eric never ceased to amaze me with his ability to keep me on schedule and ensuring that I received all of the necessary paperwork to make my purchase painless. I am happy to recommend him without reservation as I will definitely contact him for any future real estate needs.”
~ David D., Graduate Hospital 2008
“I only have the best things to say about Eric Fox. I decided to list my house in Washington Square with Eric after an unsuccessful listing with another agency. Eric had a really good understanding of the Center City market and he provided high energy with the utmost professionalism. Within 3 months he brought me an offer. With his commitment to client service the negotiation process went smoothly and timely.”
~A.V., Washington Square 2008
“Eric did a great job of helping us prepare our house for sale. He was wonderful and supportive and got back to us very quickly whenever we called him. Even in this market he sold our house in a month. I would recommend him to all of my friends.”
~ S.H., Italian Market 2008
“I loved working with Eric - I found him to be very patient with me while I figured out exactly what I was looking for and where I wanted to live.
I never felt pressured to settle on something that I wasn't thrilled with and he was very flexible as far as making himself available to show me houses.
Once I found the right house his experience proved invaluable. The other thing I really appreciate is that my relationship with Eric didn't end at the closing. Even though I've now been in my house for almost 4 months - he's more than willing to still offer advice and answer any questions I might have - he continues to make himself available to me to assist to resolve some outstanding issues.”
~ Allison S., South Philly 2008
“Working with Eric was a true pleasure. He was extremely diligent, available, and he was always willing to work around our hectic work schedules. He never tired of looking for the perfect home for us even when we were worn out! His knowledge of the market and pricing was impressive, and his background as an accounting professional is a huge bonus. When negotiations were struggling because of construction delays and mortgage issues he found a way to make it work. He helped us find our dream home at an unbelievable price!”
~ John and Liz, Graduate Hospital 2008
“I had seen a few realtors before I started with Eric. Eric was the easiest to work with, most generous with his time, candid and scrupulous in his advice. I would unhesitatingly recommend him to friends and family.”
~ Scott C., Graduate Hospital 2008
“Eric helped me buy and sell property in Philadelphia. Throughout the entire process he provided candid feedback, quick responses, and first-class negotiating skills. No request went unanswered and everything was handled with the utmost attention to detail. Living across the country when my property sold, I was confident from day one that the transaction would be seamless in my absence. I give anyone my unequivocal recommendation to use Eric for your real estate investments or home buying needs.”
~ Bradley B., Graduate Hospital 2008
“As a first time home buyer Eric helped make the process seamless, he walked us through things step by step and no question was too small.
Eric made us feel comfortable and was fun to work with. He always had our best interest in mind.
Deciding to purchase a home in an up and coming area of the City, Eric was very knowledgeable of the neighborhood’s potential growth and its surroundings.”
~ Richie and Jen, Graduate Hospital 2008
"We first met Eric at an open house in Bella Vista. He immediately distinguished himself from the other realtors by being extremely personable and by following up the very next day to ask if we had questions about the open house. Although we looked at 5 or 6 homes that day, Eric was the only realtor to contact us. We had not yet selected a realtor as our buyer's agent, so we decided then to work with Eric. We've never regretted that decision! We are first-time homebuyers, and we didn't know very much about the process. Eric walked us through every step and made us feel very comfortable. He had a great sense of what we were looking for in a home and knows the Center City market extremely well. He also had an excellent network of professionals that assisted us with our home inspection, our mortgage and even our insurance. His contacts were not only helpful, but they gave us the best rates of anyone we spoke with! All in all, Eric made the home buying process very easy for us and we felt like he had our best interests at heart. On his website, Eric says that his goal is to give "twice the attention and deliver twice the service." Well, Eric definitely met his goal with us! He was always available to answer questions and made us feel like we were his only clients. Eric is wonderful, and we'd highly recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor!"
~ Kate and Danielle, Graduate Hospital 2007
"I was recommended to Eric from friends who had used him and gave him a glowing reference.
Needless to say, the service he provided exceeded my high expectations. His in-depth knowledge, attention to detail, professionalism, and personality made my first buying experience a painless and positive one. He gave me all the tools and feedback I needed to make decisions that resulted in getting the property and terms that I wanted. I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell property."
~ Sam H., Mt. Airy 2006
“Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate the excellent service you provided. You made the experience of purchasing a home pleasant and un-stressful. You are a talented realtor and highly competent business person. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you and the good people from Trident.”
~ Chris M., South Philly 2006
"We purchased our personal house, and I purchased a multi-unit investment property, and almost another all through Eric. He has never been pushy, and always had my best interest in mind. When the deal on my second investment property starting going sour, he was eager to get me out of the deal. He is not just selling homes to make money. Eric truly cares about his clients, and only has their best interest in mind. There are tons of realtors in this city, and I would match Eric’s ethics, motivation, and ability against any and all of them. You will have a difficult time finding someone of this caliber both in real estate and in your day to day life. Our settlement was more difficult than most, and Eric went far above and beyond to make it perfect. I proposed to my fiancé at settlement (she had no idea), and Eric arranged to have a camera, champagne, and everything in order. Try to find that quality of service anywhere else. Thanks Eric."
~ Howie and Typhaney, South Philly 2005
"Eric is great, I highly recommend him to everyone I meet who is buying or selling a house in Philadelphia. As a first-time home buyer, I especially appreciated his patience in helping me figure out the type of house and location I wanted. I feel like I dragged him to every house for sale in South Philly, but he was always willing to set up showings on short notice and adjust his schedule to accommodate mine. He also has a great network of contacts, from home inspectors to closing agents, who helped to make the entire process run smoothly. To me the best part of working with Eric was his complete honesty and integrity. I always felt that I could trust him, and that he would give me good advice and tell me what he was really thinking. Once I was looking at a house that clearly had some serious problems, but I was hesitating because I liked the location. I could tell he was trying to give me time to make a decision but he finally said, "Let me put it this way, if you buy this, I'll never come and visit you." That was the honest opinion I needed to help me move on and finally find THE house."
~ Joe C., South Philly 2005
“Buying my first home was a daunting task. I appreciated working with Eric since he focused intensely on my home search. He quickly interpreted what I was looking for, got me into tons of houses, and gave me honest opinions about what he thought of each. He understood me, the market I was buying in, and the crazy real estate business. In particular, Eric helped me get into some great houses where the owner was inflexible or the seller was hard to reach. When I wanted to see a house, Eric made it happen and it happened fast! Eric was also attentive to the details, of which there were so many, and helped me get everything done that was needed! He even saved me a lot of money at closing when I was just ready to give up and give it to the mortgage broker!”
~ Bradley B., Graduate Hospital 2005
"It was a pleasure working with Eric to buy my home. He presented me with a list of properties that met my criteria but also properties that he himself would have purchased. He was very easily accessible to answer any of my questions and concerns. I always felt that I had his full attention. He provided great advice and insights in getting seller concessions and a price lower than what I wanted to pay. From the start to the closing to the present, I felt that I had a partner sharing my dream and responsibility. He is a full service realtor working with highly reputable home inspectors, contractors and a mortgage company. It speaks volumes that he is also used by my friends in their looking for a home. If I were to buy another home, I'll definitely call on Eric again."
~ Pat L., Graduate Hospital 2005
“Twice the attention, twice the value is Eric's slogan and we felt like we received a lot more! Knowing our schedules, we knew we were going to be a test of Eric's abilities. While I work an average of 70-80 hours a week at the hospital and having Scott fly on the weekends, we needed Eric to maximize our limited search time. Eric simply amazed us! He was not only efficient, knowledgeable, and fun he showed us places we really were interested in and had asked for in a house. When I was ready to make an offer, Eric drove to meet me that evening while I was stuck at work so I could sign papers. He made the process very easy, answering all of my questions and often answering questions I didn't know I had. Even after closing on our new home, Eric is still involved in making sure remaining items are completed by the developer. We can attest, without hesitation, that Eric is THE real estate agent! Thank you Eric for finding us our Dream Home.”
~ Hung and Scott, Graduate Hospital 2004
“I would not hesitate recommending Eric Fox to anyone looking to buy a home in Philadelphia. I interviewed a couple of other realtors, but I chose Eric because he seemed the most eager for my business...and I knew that would mean he would do whatever it took to find the best new home for me. My situation was complex: not only was this my first purchase, but I was complicating the matter by trying to buy a home from 3,000 miles away. Eric was accommodating in every regard. The first weekend I was available, Eric had to be out of town for a wedding, but he hired an assistant to take me out and he arranged all the details so I could spend the weekend looking at all the options in my price range. He even called from the wedding to make sure everything was OK! The next weekend I was in town, Eric arranged his schedule around mine and made sure I got to look at all the places in my range. Eric worked with me primarily by email, which was perfect for me given the time difference. Eric educated me on the different neighborhoods and types of homes in Philadelphia, and he was patient and helpful when I changed my mind about a dozen times about what I wanted. Eric also helped me to understand a home's potential value. Through the entire experience, I truly got the sense that Eric was looking out for what would be right for ME (not for his commission!). I will use Eric for my next home purchase, and I would not hesitate to refer him to anyone looking for personal attention.”
~ Susana R., happy condo owner, Center City 2004
“Thanks again for everything. I couldn't be happier with how you represented me throughout.”
~ Bill F., Art Museum 2004
"Being completely naive about purchasing a home, we met with Eric just to gain a general understanding of the overall process. Our thinking was that we would find something in 6 months to a year. We had a house within 5 weeks! Eric was the sole reason for us being able to move so quickly. Eric helped us determine what we could afford and then identified a great number of homes in our price range and geographic preference. Once we found the house of our dreams, Eric was available whenever we needed him ... for guidance or just to discuss our latest stage of panic! Because of the trust we had in Eric, we were confident in every step of the process. We have highly recommended Eric to friends and family. In fact, one friend had had their home on the market for over a year and once they began working with Eric, their house sold within two months! How much better does it get than that?"
~ Ken O., East Falls 2003
"As a first-time home buyer, I was green to many of the details in real estate. However, I soon became self-assured after Eric patiently reviewed the homebuying process with me and corrected many of my misconceptions. Lacking mortgage and insurance representatives, Eric helped me find first-rate agencies. Together, we then built my own home listings search profile based on my needs and our previous discussions. The listings were conveniently sent to me via email -- enabling me to decide on those homes I wanted to view in person. After, "the home" was found, Eric worked aggressively yet intelligently, so that my bid application was in first rate order. I am now a new first-time homeowner, and could not imagine having had anyone else except Eric as my real estate agent. Whether you're buying your first home or if you've been through this before, I enthusiastically recommend Eric for your real estate needs!"
~ Peter C., Glenside 2003
"Eric just makes things happen, and does it in the easiest, most comfortable way. My concerns about buying a home from out of state evaporated when he took on the role of project manager. Every aspect of my transaction – including finding a contractor, recommending property managers, finding a new mortgage company at the eleventh hour, and sitting in for me at my closing – was handled with care, speed and good nature. The complete trust and accessibility this required are a testament to Eric both as a realtor and a person. I cannot recommend him more highly in either category."
~ Rae S., Art Museum 2003
"Eric Fox was a joy to work with when we were looking for a new home in Philly. He knew the marketplace extremely well, and was incredibly perceptive and diligent in finding us properties to see. We couldn't be happier with our new home. Plus, he is a lot of fun."
~ Eric and Denise, Fishtown 2003
