Eric was an integral part of my husband’s and my Chicago chapter from beginning to end. He helped us find a great rental unit as a transition home when we first moved to Chicago in 2016. Then he helped us find (and negotiated a wicked deal) our condominium in 2017 where we made our home for over 7 years. My job took us to Los Angeles in 2024 but Eric found us excellent tenants as we re...
Eric has helped us navigate the Chicago real estate market through the purchase of two homes and the sale of another. Moving here from out of state was challenging, but Eric took the time to get to know us and helped us find the right fit when available properties in our price range were scarce. His advice on how to ready our home for sale proved invaluable and the level of service from ...
This is our second time purchasing a house with Eric. Hopefully we won't have to buy another house again anytime soon, but if we do, there's no doubt that we'll tap Eric as our listing agent. He's responsive, patient, and detail-oriented. I'm sure we were at a lower price point than many of Eric's clients (and that Eric was probably super-busy with other properties), but he always made u...
We’ve worked with Eric on multiple real estate sales/purchases and have found him to be above and beyond in all aspects of being a realtor/broker. Eric routinely thinks of items before we do, provides recommendations, is forthright, genuinely cares, always follows up, always has his client’s best interests in mind, is never preachy nor pushy, leaves no stone unturned, and in addition...
I have known Eric since he was an associate at Latham & Watkins. He was reliable then and I have relied on him since to buy and sell a condo at 1040 N. Lakeshore Drive and to buy another one at 1212 N. Lakeshore Drive. He is the best.
You won't find a more knowledgeable and hard working advocate to market your home for sale or help you find the perfect place in a great location, than Eric Carlson. We know because Eric has represented us on the buying side and the selling side, both with the best of results. He's also a great person to do do business with, in every respect and we would not look at another property wit...
Eric was my selling agent on my very first condo in 2004. It sold in less than 14 days. Concurrently he was my agent as I pursued purchasing a single family home. He found the perfect new-construction home and got the builder to customize what eventually became one of my favorite residences. When it was time for me to move again, he sold that home in less than 14 days and once again foun...
We felt really lucky to have Eric as our realtor. He was tireless in tracking down properties to consider. Since it was our first home purchase, we were totally clueless, but we were in good hands -- Eric was wonderfully patient, kind, and responsive in answering our questions (of which there were plenty!) and gently guiding us through the process.
Working with Eric Carlson was both a joy and a breeze. He handled all aspects of buying 2 investment properties with the skill of a highly experienced broker/real estate agent. His legal knowledge and attention to every detail made the entire process of completing a real estate transaction in Chicago as painless as possible, if you don’t have a professional guide.
Thank you Eric. We most definitely appreciate everything you¹ve done! You are easy to work with, very proactive, extremely willing to help out, and we¹d recommend you in a heart beat to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Chicago area.

Eric was the right person for the job. My condo was sold within three days which in this market is amazing. I also sold it for my selling price. It was priced correctly. Eric was terrific from the beginning of the sale to the final closing. One of the things I really respected with regard to Eric was that he kept all of us, seller, buyer and attorneys, infor...
Start to finish, you've been amazing to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor and I truly appreciate your part in helping me to realize my dream! You are awesome at what you do.

I like having a new home every 3-5 years so when I'm looking for my next dream house I turn to Eric Carlson. He takes the time to understand what my needs are and he really qualifies the listings he brings to me. And without a doubt I will always give him the listing on my current home because it usually sells within the first few weeks of being listed. --Mark
Eric’s best attribute as a broker is his ability to listen and learn. I gave him a sketch of an idea of what I was looking for in a condo. From that he filled in the blank areas with questions and suggestions, as did I. And what was left was a logical, well illustrated group a properties to consider. When it came time to physically explore the different propertie...
