Born and bred in New York City, Erika?s interest in real estate was ignited from growing up with fiery entrepreneurs for parents. Seeing the industry through the eyes of her mortgage broker mother and home inspector father encouraged her to take the leap into becoming a New York City agent ? and in the words of author R.S. Grey, ?she believed she could, so she did.? Meeting new people and building long-term connections is what makes Erika tick, and her client dedication and love of helping others are what motivate her most. With her years of customer service care and expertise, she makes sure her clients and customers are her first priority. Naturally, Erika loves the subject of interior design, with her favorites being the renowned mid-century Danish designer Eero Saarinen and Hungarian born modernist Marcel Breuer. In her free time, Erika is either busy auditioning as an actress, exercising, or writing a new screenplay. She and her husband also run their own coffee roasting company based out of St. George in Staten Island.
