We were looking for a house in the same neighborhood of Clairemont we live hoping to find a house when we retire and get away from the condo with steep stairs and the second floor. We were looking for an experienced real estate agent who was familiar with the area and whom we can trust. Then we were recommended by the bank to meet with a very hard working and honest agent who might help us in our situation. We are extremely grateful for that referral because otherwise we wouldn't have the house that became ours in November. The agent's name is Eric Polansky, and he happened to be very familiar with the desired area we were looking for - Clairemont, and he lived here for at least 20 years. He always went for an extra step no matter what day of the week it was. He never failed in all real estate transactions like contingency, or meeting other deadlines. Eric was eager to cancel his own engagements in order to meet the deadlines or just to meet with us and to explain real estate issues we were not quite familiar with. What is also touching, the very first day we had an appointment with Eric Polansky in his office, he came and appeared kind of sad. He smiled and was very professional, but later we have found out that Erick just lost his favorite parakeet who lived with him at least 40 years. Eric did not cancel an appointment, and we are very grateful for him for everything he has done to us. Eric always was available via email, or personal appointments no matter if it was Saturday or Sunday. He really cares for his customers, is trustworthy and ethical. Erick was extremely helpful with the Home and Termite inspection, he personally found the way to get under the house for inspections due to the raised foundation. Erick Polyansky is the best agent, and we would recommend him to anyone with the whole heart. read more

All; stop searching for a realtor and give Eric a phone call! We just closed our third transaction with Century 21 1st Choice's Eric Polansky and can honestly say that words cannot justify the attributes he possesses and demonstrates on the daily! You will get an honest person who hustles and has an engaging personality with Eric.  It was our experience that even when the news was not always what we wanted to hear, it was better to have heard it and adjust than not to have heard it at all.  Further, Eric's engaging personality left no rock unturned.  Today's market is no doubt, tough for a buyer.  It was because of his quick ability to think on his feet and engage the seller's agent that we were successful in negotiating a home at a fair and reasonable price.   Buying or selling for the first time can have a lot of uncertainties; Eric makes sure that those uncertainties do not compromise your interests.  It was our experience during the purchase of our first single-family residence that he recommended having the sewer lateral inspected.  Because of this recommendation, we dodged what could have been a potential catastrophe once we moved in to our new home.   Industry trends show that many realtors either do not understand or fail to fully understand the local housing market; not Eric.  With 29 years of experience in the field, Eric has seen it all.  It became known to us that even though Eric is based in San Diego Clairemont community, he has helped buyers and seller in over 500 transactions and has the knowledge and experience to get you into the right place at the right price. We feel very fortunate to have worked with Eric, and hope that you have the same experience.  All it takes is one phone call to schedule a consult, what are you waiting for? read more

Eric deserves a 10++++++++++ their aren't enough superlatives to describe all he has done for me. He has helped me sell my mother's house and my own house. It would take more space than I have here to tell you about how much above and beyond he extended his efforts to remove the stress. Both houses were sold when I was under severe emotional distress because of the sudden and unexpected death of my husband and the loss of my mother within a two year period. Eric handled everything, not only real estate related matters but he was a project manager and procured excellent and fair craftsman and did all the contracting. Eric is just about the most honorable and dependable person you will ever meet. I had to move out of state to family to help me deal with all the emotional turmoil and I never had a moment of stress related to the sale of my house because Eric took care of everything. He was a project manager, counselor and I could not have done this without him. Eric is most of all trustworthy and very ethical. I can't really do him justice in highly recommending him -- more like are the clients worthy of him. read more

I noticed a FOR SALE sign next door. Two days later it said SOLD. I thought to myself, I got to talk to the agent. He told me what the owners asked and the deal was over the asking price. That got my attention. When you're looking for a real estate agent you want a professional. Eric turned out to be the MOST professional guy I could ever ask for. He is familiar with all the forms and knows what you need to do... buying or selling. Mr. Polansky sold our property in a hurry and advised us in valuations, repairs, negotiating, escrow, market conditions and told us when NOT to panic. He was very assuring because he has all the confidence of a pro. He knows what buyers and sellers are after. Being familiar with the area he represents and the resources he needs, he makes your decision a 'no brainer'. If I can offer any advice... take Eric's advice seriously. I hate to admit it, but the guy was spot-on every call. He helped get the best deal possible! Thanks again Eric. (And yes, it was over the asking price). read more

Eric is # 1 ! We are young couple from Belarus with two kids. Never had any properties in the USA. With Eric HUGE help/assist/support 24 hours we felt comfortable with looking and buying our firs property. Just tell him what you need and you are will be satisfied. Our loan was delayed from the big bank a few times but all this time Eric always supported us. He did tremendous outstanding job to keep us informed and advised. The seller and his agent were listening Eric and waiting until our first loan got approved. So, we have got what we wanted just because of Eric! Eric, Thank you very very much for your hard work and patience with us. We are definitely will recommend you to all our friends! read more

I would never use anyone except Eric; he is truly the best agent ever! and I say that because of his dedication, knowledge and how he actually performed for me. I am home designer and have dealt with numerous realtors over a 25 year career. I wanted a lot for my money: location, privacy, views, good neighbors, large driveway, and within a specific budget. I was asking a lot, he'd find something good, but I wanted great. Eric just always kept a great attitude, and he just kept drilling down until he found what I wanted at my price, and he even got sick during this time and still performed. Thank you gain Eric Honestly, D Berg client 2010 read more

I don't have enough praise for Eric as our selling agent. He advised us how to prepare the house for sale to maximize its attributes. We had 11 showings in one day and five offers in 24 hours!! We ended up with a dream sale - cash buyer, no issues. Despite that, I was a worry-wart. Eric was always available to answer our questions, walk us through the process and the sale closed exactly on time. I imagine this isn't typical for most sales, but I do believe that even if escrow had been longer, Eric would have been there every step of the way. I absolutely recommend Eric to anyone looking to sell their home. He is an awesome realtor!! read more

When I first started to think about buying a home I had no idea where to go. My banker recommended Mr. Polansky and I'm sure glad he did. He is very professional and personable. Mr. Polansky put all my fears aside as he walked me through the home buying process from start to finish. I made an offer on a small home and with some back and forth negotiating, guided by Eric, I got what I wanted at my price and escrow period. Eric helped me though inspection and paperwork.I just want to let people know what a great asset Eric is. Thanks to him I now have a placer to call my own! read more

Eric's expertise allowed me to find exactly the condo that I was looking for. He was honest, very responsive, and truly knowledgeable of the area. Given that I was purchasing my first home, I did not know what to expect, especially after all the horror stories that I have heard. Well with Eric's help, the process went about as smooth as it could get. He was always ready to meet at the most convenient time and place for me, which was very helpful given my erratic schedule. I would definitely recommend Eric to anyone who wishes to have a straightforward and honest realtor. read more

Eric was great! He assisted us the whole way through, offer to close. Eric let us know as first time home buyers what needed to be done and when. He helped move the process along to close our loan in 14 days. He is very professional and ALWAYS available via phone call, email, and text. He is very knowledgeable of the area and was in constant contact with us and the sellers of the property. If we had a question or concern, he would get the answer right away for us. We would definitely recommend Eric Polansky for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks again Eric! read more

I have worked with Eric since 1999. I was looking to purchase a home and he was the Realtor selling the home we were looking at. He was so full of knowledge and eager to help I took his card and wanted him to help me purchase a home. He has worked with my family and I have referred a lot of people to him over the last 15 years. He is the best with 25 years of experience here in San Diego & Riverside county. No one can match the service level you will receive from Eric Polansky. read more

Eric was just the man we needed for the sale of our condo. We didn't know it at the time, but this escrow wasn't easy. I could always count on Eric for a response within minutes. Without Eric in our corner, I don't think this sale would have gone through! read more
