Going into this we were honestly kind of terrified. Neither of us had bought a house before, and every friend we talked to seemed to have some horror story about their agent. Erik was the opposite of all that. No pressure, no steering us toward places that didn't fit, just honest answers and a lot of patience with two nervous buyers. He made the whole thing feel doable instead of overwhelming. When we buy our next place, he'll be our first call. read more

The very best. Professional, patient, and courteous. Sold a rental property for us and got a good price for it, even with tenants in situ.

I should have done this review of Erik earlier. Mr. Cabral sold our property 2 weeks ago. The process was made easy because of Mr. Cabral's knowledge of real estate, hard work and his attention to details. Mr. Cabral was on top of everything from start to finish. My wife and I will not hesitate to refer Mr Cabral. Thanks for everything. read more

We completed back to back transactions and could not have asked for anyone better. We listed our 2 bedroom 2 bath house in Chatsworth, with the intent on upgrading to a bigger home in Santa Clarita to accommodate myself, the wife, 2 kids, and the in-laws who recently moved from New York to live with us. We listed the house, and within a week received several offers. Just as offers for our home came fast and furious from buyers, searching to buy a home was challenging because we were competing with other assertive buyers for the new house as well. This is where Erik made the biggest impact. He provided us a rock solid lender, Artin Babayan from Primelending, ensuring pre-qualifications for the proper loan amount and the perfect payment plan. Artin also assisted us with background checks on the buyers of our Chatsworth home. We found a beautiful home in Saugus, and methodically coordinated a contingent buy and sale of two homes. On the surface it seemed straight forward, but Erik invested significant time and effort to ensure all involved parties met respectable deadlines. The most delightful part of this experience was that Erik helped us acquire the Saugus home with 3 other competitive bidders in the mix. We only paid $5,000 over list price, and our new residence included picturesque views of the mountains and bike trails adjacent to the Santa Clara River next to Soledad Canyon, and a location within the beautiful gated River Village community in Saugus. My family and I are eternally grateful for Erik's services. I hope you find the opportunity to have him in your corner for any purchase or sale of your home. He is a genuine person, available for questions and concerns every step of the way. He is a trustworthy realtor you can depend on with your future home. My family and I share the upmost respect and gratitude for Erik Cabral, Pinnacle Estate, and all his supporting cast. read more

Erik Cabral - Pinnacle Estate Properties - House we sold - Real Estate Agents Near Me - Porter Ranch, California

Erik went above and beyond. He was extremely patient and always had great advice with the area and houses I was interested in. He kept me posted if I hadn't checked my emails on important documents to sign. He was also very considerate to my schedule and was readily available. What I Presley liked about Erik was that he let you go at your own pace. He never pushed a house on you or made you feel like you were being indecisive, which I was. I would most definitely recommend Erik!!! Best realtor ever!! Thank you!!!! read more

I searched for the top rated realtors in the San Fernando Valley and contacted several about selling my home. Erik had great online reviews, years of experience, a marketing background and had won awards as a realtor. He was calm, straightforward, honest and professional. He brought outstanding resources and knowledge to every step of the process. I couldn't be more pleased with the resulting sale. read more

Erik is the best broker in the Los Angeles and San Fernando valley area! He got us a house with all our 'must haves' and helped us on a complex negotiation with challenging sellers. Always fast and friendly throughout the whole process. read more

Searching for a home in Southern CA is not for the weak, you need someone trustworthy, patient and strategic when putting together an offer if you are going to buy/sell. Erik is that someone! Even when I wanted to give up because of this tough market, he never did. He helped me put together a great deal for purchasing my first home and escrow was a breeze. We never settled and I got an incredible, move-in ready property, thanks to his guidance. If you want to be in great hands, this is who you should reach out to! read more

I actually found Erik through Yelp, and was torn between a realtor we were already loyal to, and another realtor that showed motivation. After reading the reviews here, we took a leap of faith. Erik met with us and walked us through the process, taking his time to answer questions. I'll just bullet point the greatness. - always professional - kept us informed every step of the way - honest and open about expectations - great pictures and marketing - received well above asking and got more than the house appraised for. - highly competent We couldn't be more satisfied and grateful. read more

When we started working with Erik, we had been shopping for a few months and had previously already worked with 2 other agents. The market was competitive and even though we knew what we wanted, we were having a very hard time getting our offers accepted. As soon as we started working with Erik, we realized he was a professional. His knowledge of the neighborhood and his strong relationships with other agents was clear. After months of putting in offers and getting them rejected, Erik was able to turn things around and help us get our first offer accepted. The advice he gave us throughout the buying process was gold and is what ultimately got us our dream home. From the time we met Erik to our closing date- was only 30 days. Trusting Erik was the best decision we made! This was an especially important purchase because I was buying a retirement home for my parents. Thank you so much Erik for helping us out! Don't think twice about working with Erik- he's the best. read more

This is rather bittersweet for me to write this review. We've come to know Erik far from a business aspect and given we moved over 1,200 miles away we won't be able to see him anymore. Erik was extremely helpful listing our property at the right price to sell almost immediately. After it was listed we had multiple offers right after his open house...all above asking price! He was extremely helpful throughout and even after the close of escrow. From being there for the various inspections, to following up with us to ensure all the necessary paperwork was completed to even bringing in our garbage cans when we were out of town. Now that's service! We truly appreciated the consistent communication throughout the process. Whether it was through text, call or email he was genuine and sincere in informing us of the status, updates, or next steps. Erik absolutely went above and beyond. Because of his tenacity, rare degree of trustworthiness, and good business sense we cannot recommend him highly enough for those looking to sell, buy or both. Erik is really someone for all your real estate needs. We have already recommended him to others...neighbours, colleagues, and even family members, all of which have conducted transactions with him. I also want to point out on a personal note that I've always been very skeptical of real estate agents given the horror stories I've heard, but when we first worked with Erik (selling our house this time was the third transaction with him) all that skepticism disappeared. "Every day, you'll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside your safety net. Sure, it's a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone... in my case, business suits and real estate... but sometimes you have to take risks. When the risks pay off, that's when you reap the biggest rewards." --Donald Trump read more

Eric helped us find a home in the San Fernando Valley in the spring of 2018. We had a previous bad experience with another realtor and really appreciated his patience. He is always very calm and accommodating. He follows through on all the homes that we wanted to see and helped make a decision. Finally when we closed, he threw us a coming home balloons and cake get together which was completely unexpected. He is very nice and personable and has a caring demeanor. It was always a pleasure to work with him and we are very happy in our new beautiful home! We highly recommend him! read more

We are first time home buyers moving to the San Fernando Valley from a different part of Los Angeles. Erik was super responsive and very knowledgeable about the area, including market trends, development projects, homeless encampments, etc. He was able to point out both the positives and negatives of each home we were considering, provide realistic guidance on placing a good bid, and was patient in answering our many questions. Home buying is stressful and he walked us through every step of the way. He pointed out good questions to ask during walk through and open houses. We basically only looked for two weekends before getting a winning bid, and I think that is in large part to Erik providing practical and helpful guidance. I would definitely suggest using Erik, especially if you are looking in the Valley! read more

We recently sold our first home and bought our dream home in Porter Ranch with the help of Erik Cabral. My wife and I interviewed a few different realtors and Erik definitely stood out as the best choice. We loved that Erik had many years of experience, grew up in the valley, still lives here, and focuses primarily, if not exclusively, on the real estate market in the San Fernando Valley. The fact that he is also one of the top real estate agents in the area, has a very easy going personality, and has stellar reviews here on yelp also helped solidify our choice. After getting started with Erik he set us up with an AMAZING handyman Sebastian to paint the house and make general repairs here and there. We have had several bad experiences with contractors and working with Sebastian was excellent. We have since hired him to work on our new home and I am very grateful to Erik for his referral. After all the repairs were done Erik got to work with his photographer to take some really great shots of the house. I was honestly surprised at how good they looked. We immediately had interest and received multiple offers. At the same time we were looking for new homes with the hopes of placing a contingent offer. We looked at many different homes over multiple weekends and Erik was very accommodating. I never once felt like he was getting tired of looking at so many homes, and I could tell he wanted us to find that perfect home. After finding that perfect home we put in our offer only to find out that there were 8 (I believe that is the correct number) other offers.. We told Erik how much we loved the home and he went to work. After working his magic he got the sellers to accept our offer over everyone else's! While in escrow we discovered some minor to moderate issues with the home and felt like we might have over bid. Again, Erik went to work and negotiated to have almost all of our closing cost covered by the seller! The escrow process was also very smooth and we closed in just under 30 days even over the holidays with the help of a lender he recommended (Artin at Prime Lending). At the close of escrow we went to the house to pick up the key with our 2 kids and Erik had a very nice surprise waiting for us inside! I won't spoil it for anyone, but I wasn't expecting it and it was a very nice touch! If you are looking for a real estate agent you can trust in everyway shape and form I HIGHLY recommend Erik Cabral. From start to end it was great working with him and I will be recommending him to anyone I know who is buying or selling a home. read more

As a first time home buyers, my husband and I were not sure where to start. Since we had some limitations on the properties we could purchase, I was nervous a realtor would not want to work with our situation. I ended up finding Erik on Yelp and contacted him based on all the great reviews. I have to say that I was lucky to have found such a great realtor. He was so helpful during the entire process, kept constant communication and was clear from start to finish. I felt like he was a friend who was trying to make our dream of owning a home come true. And he really did! We ended up looking at one property and knew that was the one. It fit perfectly for our situation and was in the area we wanted. He worked so diligently to make this possible. He was so gracious at the end to provide us with an unexpected gift, balloons and mini bundt cakes (which my kiddos devoured). We really appreciate all that you have done for us and the stability that we have now because of this home purchase. If you are looking for a trust worthy agent that will go above and beyond, then look no further Erik Cabral is the realtor you need. read more

My experience selling my Porter Ranch home with Erik Cabral was 100% positive! Erik offers professional service in every aspect of the process. He took time to listen and understand my individual situation and then combined his real estate expertise and his knowledge of the market and the community to strategically price, effectively market, and successfully sell my home in less than 1 week. From our 1st meeting through turning over keys to the buyers, Erik personally provided constant updates and the communication with his team of support services was seamless. If you are looking for an expert, personable agent and a stress-free experience with the best possible results selling your home - without hesitation, I highly recommend you team up with Erik. read more

We're so grateful for the excellent service that Erik provided and the care that he took in selling our property. He went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations in getting us multiple offers above asking price. The whole process from prepping the house to list through escrow was relatively a smooth process. He is very knowledgeable about real estate and he's just an overall, great person. Highly recommend Erik without any hesitation. read more

In the middle of a global pandemic with stay at home orders in place, Erik Cabral's masterful marketing got our home sold in just a few days with multiple offers well over asking price. His calm, no pressure demeanor also was a blessing during such a stressful time. If you are looking to sell your home in the San Fernando Valley, I highly recommend Erik. Erik came onto our radar a few years ago when we noticed his listings moving quickly in our neighborhood - often after having sat for months with other realtors. When it was time for us to sell, our meeting with Erik confirmed that he was the realtor we wanted to work with. We could not be happier with our decision. Thank you for your incredible work, Erik! read more

I was trying to find a realtor fast to get a professional opinion about my Moms house in Northridge. Erik was very responsive, and the things he said made a lot of sense, very easy to talk with him. I don't know if we will sell yet so I can't report on the full experience of working with Erik read more

This is our second time to use Erik's services and he never disappoints. He always delivered what we wanted and is always available to answer our questions and concerns. What sets him apart from other agents is that he treats his clients like they're his family. Adding on, he provides exceptional services with not only buying a home, but selling a home. He listens to the clients and gives them amazing homes and offers. He went above and beyond and I appreciate everything he has done and would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Erik Cabral's knowledge of the industry and his marketing plan is rock solid. Even with the added challenges that COVID-19 brought to the table, Erik was able to adapt his strategies to meet all health and safety guidelines without sacrificing quality representation. My house was in a desirable location but was a bit outdated and I doubted that I would be able to list it for a competitive price as high as the other properties that were for sale in the area. He was upfront with all information relating to the property which I really appreciated so that I could make the best informed decisions possible. Erik made himself readily available at every step of the process. At the time of the sale, the house was vacant so his willingness to coordinate the vendors, get estimates and to meet them at the property was invaluable to me as it was one less thing I had to stress over. Once it was ready to list, the house was beautifully showcased with professional photography, drone footage and virtual staging. I was able to entertain multiple offers over asking price all within a few days. I found him to be an industry leader who will take charge, study market trends and use the data to ensure that his clients achieve their desired results and not just close the deal for a quick sale. I followed his advice and as a result, my house was listed, received multiple offers over asking price and sold for more than I ever thought would have been possible. It is easy to see why so many clients have given him 5 stars. He is definitely worth it and more. read more

After many years of living in apartments, I needed to stabilize my family and move into a house that would satisfy my needs as well as providing for my wife and kids. After reading reviews online, I scheduled a meeting with Erik at Pinnacle. Right away you could tell he was the real deal. He understood the market, understood what we were looking for, and set us up to succeed in our house hunting. I really appreciated his online site that curated the houses that met our criteria. My wife and I would get instant notification in email that would take us to the listing where we could view pictures and confirm information, then write in comments and select interest levels in the properties directly into the site. From there we would schedule times to see the properties, which made for efficient and organized tracking of properties and information. Erik quickly booked our time to start viewing properties, spending the necessary time during the open house and after to talk about our interest, concerns and preferences. My wife and I both appreciated his honest comments and feedback during the process. We quickly found a property we liked and Erik was there to move us forward with an offer quickly and confidently. Our offer was accepted and with his recommendations and guidance we closed escrow with no issues 30 days later (actually a little bit before), just in time to refinish the floors and move in as our apartment lease expired. All of the documents to sign were managed electronically, which made everything SO MUCH EASIER! I really appreciate the professionalism and honesty Erik gave us in the whole process. He has a great attitude, great personality and great work ethic. We were never waiting for him - he was always there, ready for the next step, and moved the process along efficiently. Negotiation points were clear. Actions were explained and advised upon. Guidance was supportive and true. Recommendations we great. Communication was clear, timely and concise. The day we got the keys to the new house, Erik was already there making sure everything was orderly and presentable. He went the extra mile with balloons and a "welcome home" banner that my wife and kids really appreciated when they first opened the door. Thank you, Erik! I would fully recommend Erik to anyone out there who is seriously looking to purchase property in the San Fernando Valley. read more

Let me start off by saying I don't normally write reviews but Erik is very deserving of this one. We've experienced working with other realtors in the past but working with Erik was by far the best experience we've had. He is very professional, knowledgeable, honest and an all around great person. We would choose him again in a heartbeat. He helped us in both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We were able to sell our previous house for well above asking price with multiple offers. And when we purchased our new house, he helped make our offer stand out against multiple offers. In this competitive market, having someone with experience that you can trust is so important. What we thought would be a stressful process was actually enjoyable thanks to Erik. His easy going and calm nature made us feel comfortable and we never felt pressured. One of the many things we appreciate in working with Erik was his communication during the entire process. He explained things step by step and was always available to answer any and all questions and concerns we had (and I had a lot!). We feel very fortunate to have worked with Erik and would recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and passionate realtor who will get the job done. Thank you to the best realtor ever!! We can't thank you enough for helping make our dreams come true! read more

I am sure you have read the other great reviews and I assure you they are all true. We found Erik online so there was some trepidation in the beginning. Once you meet him, you know you found someone you can trust. Erik was responsive, timely, and best of all, uses NO PRESSURE sales tactic. My wife and I have varied tastes and ideas on what we want for our next house. But Erik, the trooper that he is, entertained all our ideas and wishes until we found the house we want to call home. He truly has your best interest at heart. I think the greatest compliment you can give a professional is whether you are willing to use him again and recommend him to others. In both count the answer is a resounding yes. read more

After our parents passed, my sister and I asked for Erik's help to sell the home that had been in our family for 60 years. From beginning to end, Erik provided highly professional services while guiding us through the process in his very personable way. Although the pandemic derailed our first quick sale just prior to closing, Erik rapidly turned things around and within two weeks we entered a second escrow that did complete successfully. We enthusiastically recommend Erik to any who seek someone talented, energetic, focused, and very easy to work with for their real estate needs. read more

Me and my wife have been through some challenge process to purchase a new house in porter ranch since this is our first time experience, then we met with Erik and his professional service and guidance help us a lot and finally we find a lovely house in this area and dream comes true. read more

Looking to buy or sell a home? Look no further, as Erik Cabral is THE man! His charismatic, yet no-pressure approach puts you instantly at ease, and his knowledge in the industry reminds you that you're in good hands. Having a confident and knowledgeable agent really helps you remain calm in an extremely stressful situation, and his ability to be extremely organized ensures that all timelines are met in a timely manner. He works with awesome photographers to ensure your listing looks STUNNING (our pictures came out so great, I almost didn't want to sell our place!), and the amount of details he generally puts into his work, really, truly, sets him apart from others. Seriously, if you're looking to buy or sell your home, give Erik a call. He will not disappoint! read more

Erik helped me sell my home and buy a new one. From the beginning to the end Erik is professional, honest, and organized. He knows what he is doing and was definitely the best person to sell my home. He listed my house at a higher price than I thought it would go for and sold it. He also helped me find my perfect new home. My whole family trusts Erik! I invite him to my son's birthdays because he is very much part of the family. He's helped my mom buy her home anf also helped my sister with her buying and selling. This is how much we trust Erik :) read more

I can't say enough good things about Erik. He was amazingly helpful in helping us sell our house. He knew someone that could do a bunch of work that we needed done to get our house ready to sell. He gave great advise on how to present our house to today's buyer and ultimately got us more money then we were expecting for our house. If you are looking for someone that is professional and on top of everything, don't hesitate to give Erik a call. He will be selling our house the next time we move as well. read more

This review is a few months overdue as we closed escrow a few months ago. However, I could not let Erik's exceptional service go without well deserved praise. My husband and I began our home search in mid September and by the end of October, we closed escrow. We found Erik after pouring through reviews on Yelp and Zillow and wanted to pay it forward by posting our review. This was our first joint home purchase and Erik could not have made the experience easier or less stressful for us. He was available anytime we had a question and his professional expertise helped us to place the winning bid on the home we wanted. We cannot recommend Erik highly enough and would definitely trust him with any future real estate needs. read more

Erik was truly a fantastic real estate agent! I couldn't have asked for a more professional, courteous, and throrough representative to sell my property. Nobody really stood out when I began my search for an agent, but what made Erik stand out is the many positive reviews I read, and how tech savvy he seemed to be. He came fully prepared with a portfolio and a a great strategic plan that he presented to me. He told me a possible price that we can list my property at, and at first I wasn't so sure because it was way more than I expected. I went along with it, hoping for the best. And boy did Erik deliver! We ended up selling pretty much at the price he quoted me during our first meeting. Erik had a professional photographer come by to take pictures of the place, and within 1-2 days, my property was already listed. He even set up an open house a few days after the listing was posted, and we received 2 offers the following week! The communication throughout the process was great. Whether it was through text, phone, or email, it fit my schedule perfectly. All updates were provided to me in a very timely manner. All in all I would highly recommend Erik if you're looking to sell a property. It was truly a pleasure working with Erik throughout the selling process. read more

We found Erik through Yelp, and found him to be very easy going, honest, and trustworthy. He streamlines the process of prepping and selling the home, and is very easy to work with. The home selling process was very easy and straightforward and we highly recommend Erik for selling a home in the San Fernando Valley. read more

Erik helped us out from Day 1 to finish. As first time home buyers, we had a hard time looking for a suitable home for us. We were undecided. But Erik walked us through the whole process, gave his honest advice in what we should think about in buying a home. He made this experience less stressful for us! He is very professional, organized and responds super quick to all your questions and concerns. I would go to him again in the future! And would definitely recommend him to friends and coworkers! Thanks so much for all your help Erik! read more

I could write a novel about the journey to purchase my home. It is never an easy process, frustrating, time consuming etc... You need someone that represents your interests and not just out to make a quick buck on a quick commission. Erik spent countless hours over the span of months helping me find the right house. Having dealt with many other business brokers as well as real estate agents I can without the doubt assert, he is the most HONEST and ETHICAL agent. He never gave up, always adjusted himself to my never ending changing schedule of patients. He will always have your best interest at heart and is the only agent in California I have come across that actually and consistently returns phone calls. When the time comes to purchase another property, he will be my first call!!! read more

Erik Cabral is one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with, I highly recommend having him help you sell your home. He is timely, professional, thoughtful and smart. My family and I interviewed quite a few agents to sell our home in the San Fernando Valley this past April. When Erik came, to give his "pitch" to my family I instantly knew he was a person I could trust. Once we hired him he was always courteous and attentive to any and all of our concerns. He is so knowledgeable about the real estate market and how to market your home to customers. He is tech savvy, which gives sellers additional platforms for people to see their home. Erik made our home selling process stress free, he listened to all of our wants and needs. Not to mentioned, we got MORE than asking price! Erik went above and beyond any expectations that I had for a realtor. Erik is not only the right choice for your real estate needs, he's the best choice! read more

I was on the search for a house. I was recommended to Erik through a family friend. I had a consultation with him over the phone and he wanted to get an idea of what areas I was interested in and what my budget was. He was friendly. From the time we spoke on the phone, he started sending me links to potential houses. Whenever I found interest in a place, he was able to tour the house with my family speedily. Also, when I found places outside of his recommendations, he was able to schedule a viewing fairly quickly. We went from looking into possible places, to finalizing paperwork towards a house that finally suited my family. I first started my search in April and landed a spot in October. The hunt for a house is a process and it isn't something that happens overnight. If you keep at it, you'll find a spot eventually and I did. Thank you, Erik! read more

This is an overdue review. I've been busy, thought about selling my house. Called up from Yelp and Google search. Moving is a pain. Moreover, with my schedule I did not have the time to meet erik. After talking to him on the phone, I decided to entrust Erik with the sale of my house and consider it a risk given that Ive never met him. As a result, all I can say is that he is trustworthy. His style is transparent, thorough, and responsible. He didn't even nickel and dime us during the operation. He works like a boss and acts like he works for the boss. He's very thoughtful and considerate of both parties. Upon discussing some tasks (ie... Clean up...), His explanation was, "yeah, it's just good karma." As we parted with our home, I met Erik for the first time the day before our escrow closed. We thought that was it. Smooth and simple, but he gave us reasons to rely on his professional insight. Yes, I would recommend him to my best friend. read more

My husband and I were first time home buyer's and had been searching for a new home for 2 years. We new what we were looking for and didn't want to settle on something less than what we wanted. Eric stood by us the whole time. He was so patient with us and never pressured us just to make a sale. He truly cared about finding us the perfect house. We looked everywhere and he even showed us homes that were not in his usual areas. Thankfully because we did end up finding the perfect home for us in Thousand Oaks. Not only that but with Eric's help we bought it! With all the bidding wars going on, even though we weren't the highest bid, he worked some magic and we got our home. read more

Erik recently helped us sell out house and in our case, he really earned his money. From the moment we had a photographer come in to take pictures we could tell that they were doing a stellar job. At every step of the way Erik was always calm, returned calls promptly and was full of excellent suggestions. Eventually the buyer made an offer but their mortgage company could not get the deal done. This is when Erik earned his money. He recommended a mortgage company to the buyer, got him a great loan and was able to close the deal. House sold above asking price. And they lived happily ever after. read more

The LA housing market can be a daunting experience. The landscape is extremely competitive. Getting what you want takes time, patience and resolve. It can be temping to make compromises in the home buying process. A great agent will help you understand where it's safe to make a compromise and remind you when you need to stick to your guns in your home search.   Erik guided us through a long, daunting process. He reminded us when it was better to be patient and not impulsive, and he encouraged us when it was time to be bold and move fast. He easily adapted to our communication style, was accessible and responsive when we had questions, and genuinely cared about seeing our family end up in the best house for us.   There's no greater purchase you'll ever make than buying a house. We're so happy with our new home, and we feel tremendously lucky to have had Erik guiding us the whole way. read more
