About Erica
Erica is a graduate of Loyola University School of Law and has practiced law for more than 37 years. She concentrates her time, talents, and passion on assisting clients to be well-informed about their real estate decisions, whether they are buying a home or an investment, as well as helping them get out of debt and to build a solid financial future. Her field of expertise includes the spectrum of conventional and distressed real property issues for both residential and commercial properties, foreclosure defense, short sale transactions, sales out of decedent’s estates and personal and land trusts, and counseling her clients in re-establishing their credit and becoming debt-free and mortgage-free. She also advises investors in need of exit strategies for real estate deals gone sour as well as those who see the current market as a great place to invest, as well as homebuyers who are purchasing conventional and distressed real estate. She has maintained her Real Estate License for over 28 years.
​
Married for over 35 years, Erica works most weekends which is made easier by the fact that she shares office space with her husband’s business. Her son works for her husband’s appraisal business. Her daughter, who is also an actress, works for Erica. Erica shares her passion (and tickets) for the theater, opera, and music with her family and friends.
