My journey on finding my first home started out rocky. I was working with a prior realtor that I wasn't necessarily seeing eye to eye on. I considered giving up and waiting awhile but everything changed when I was introduced to Eric Herman. Right off the bat he hit all the key points I was looking for in a realtor. He really listened to what I wanted in my first home and knew exactly where I wanted to be. I was on the tail end of a 9 month deployment and I needed something quick, or as quick as possible in the real estate world, as I was transferring to shore duty. As everyone knows this market is tough and you have to act fast. Eric was very tenacious in all offers I submitted. Within a few short weeks he landed me the home that I could see myself living in for quite sometime. This process could not have gone any smoother if not for his strong knowledge in his field. He knows what he is doing and he's quick to answer all questions, if and when they arise. His open line of communication is spot on as I am a big communicator, as I wanted to understand the process from A to Z. He was very forthcoming on what to expect and laid it all out on a timeline for me, which helped make the process even smoother. When it came time to home inspections and battling with the homeowners for minor changes, he helped me win on the repairs that were needed for the home prior to move in. We closed in just 21 days which was very awesome and worked out perfectly for me as I transitioned from sea duty to shore. Eric's professionalism speaks volumes for not just himself but for the company he works with. I'm telling you now that you'll never find someone as motivated, caring, passionate, and smart in the field as you will with him. I without a doubt would not be where I am without him and I can't thank him enough. He's also a prior service member who fully understands and can explain the VA home loan to just about anyone. The home I know live in was not accepting VA loan applications but his knowledge and go getting attitude resulted in me winning in the end. If you are looking for someone who can help you buy or sell or any questions in the realm of real estate you really should look no further. Eric and his team are amazing and I will forever recommend his services to anyone that is looking to buy or sell. read more

I have really horrible experience with relators in the past, due to how I was young and misguided by a few, however, Eric made me realize not all relators are not soley on transaction but for a person instead. Eric was a fellow Air Force veteran like me, so it made me very comfortable speaking to him knowing he has quite a massive wealth of knowledge of investing and how transaction works. Throughout the time, it felt like Eric was one of my old Air Force buddies back in the day, but I did not know him before I hit him up. Eric is consider one of greatest relator I have met so far, he pretty much gotten me a home down in San Diego using my CAL VET VA Loan where I always wanted to be when I separated from the military. He communicates super well and it felt like he was not abandoning me throughout the time closing a home and finding homes. He was super flexible to contact in early mornings and to late nights, it felt so easy to get a hold with him. I highly recommended every other young veterans, like me, to go with Eric. He pretty much aided my goal to close down a 3rd home in my lifetime. He made it happen! I praise for his paying attention to details throughout the homes and points out discrepancies making it praiseworthy for his effort. It felt he did more than a relator that I have work with besides signing just papers. I actually got mentored and guided throughout the process, with that knowledge I am happy he isn't super annoyed with my questions. Thanks Eric! You made a 27 year old person to reach his dream of owning not just one property but two properties instead. I appreciate your time and effort, not only that the lengths you went far for me. Generational wealth is all happening, thanks to Eric! God bless you brother! read more

All homeowners can agree, that first purchase is one of, if not, the single most important financial decision of your life. Oftentimes, you are entering uncharted territory, enduring a roller coaster of emotions ranging from confusion, excitement, to anxiety and beyond. Considering the gravity of this commitment, it is crucial that you have a real estate agent you can trust. That being said, I could not be more relieved that Eric Herman was the agent there for me. Eric and I worked together to close on my first home purchase utilizing my VA home loan. I began the process with little to no knowledge and heavy concern regarding real estate. By closing, all of my worries were absolved and I felt ready to take on all the challenges ahead, confident that Eric will have my back. With a magnetically positive, but natural, presence, Eric discusses with you what you are looking for in efforts to meticulously find your desired property. It is clear from the start that beyond moral business practice, Eric puts the customer first and ensures clients know exactly what they are getting themselves into. This coupled with wise counsel after many years and dozens of successful deals and having a colorful military career himself, it is no wonder he made a process that I once thought impossible, feel easy. Another aspect of working with Eric that stood out to me was his availability. At any time of the day I was able to get a hold of him and if he did happen to be busy, I would expect to hear back as soon as his schedule allowed. This point remains true to this day. I know that in any real estate deals I am involved with moving forward, Eric will be the first one I call. read more

My husband and I couldn't have been lucky enough to get in touch with Eric to help us with our home search. Eric is one the kindest, most honest, most humble and most courteous people I have ever met. He was so patient with us on our first home buying journey together as we changed our minds multiple times about what kind of property to buy and which price point. Very shortly after we started working together he got to know really well the individual things my husband and I were each looking for and would remind us if a home was missing something essential on our list! He helped us write very strong offers. He had such good rapport with the listing agents that they always wanted to work with us because of him. He would even console us when an offer didn't go our way and reassured us that a better home would be waiting for us. And sure, was he right! The perfect home came on the market and Eric helped us right a very strong offer and compete with an all cash offer even though we didn't have that much money to put down. We won the offer and couldn't be happier in our new home! The day he gave us the keys, he waited for us with balloons and generously gifted us. First time home buying can be an extremely stressful process but Eric supported us like an old friend. Throughout this journey Eric has become indeed a friend and we have continued to keep in touch with him. He never hesitates to help us with anything. Needless to say, I have nothing but my strongest recommendations to give to Eric for anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is truly one of a kind. read more

Eric and Josh are absolutely INCREDIBLE! This was my sister and my first time buying a home. Eric and Josh are extremely diligent, I truly felt taken care of in their hands. I had spoke with other agents before, and none even close to measured up with the care, patience, attention to detail and time that Eric and Josh dedicated to us. We started at first working with Eric, he has an awesome relationship with other agents and is very likeable, which I think was very important in the negotiation process. We had multiple sellers agents telling us that our offer stood out because of how communicative we (Eric) was in terms of staying on top of other offers coming in and being competitive with them etc. He also has great attention to detail, and consistently points things out about houses that one might miss and be stuck with the repercussions. Eric was super responsive and always made time for a phone call and made us feel like his only clients even when he was super busy. When Eric went on vacation, Josh stepped right in. He was super helpful in pointing out things that even a home inspector may not catch. Even after we closed the deal, Josh offered to help us upgrade our home warranty along with several other things. TWO AWESOME Agents, truly a dream team!!! read more

Amazing service, professional, and very knowledgeable, thank you so much Eric! My name is Devin M. Davis and I am an US Marine Veteran and after I retired from the Marine Corps, I felt I was ready to use my VA home loan to purchase my first house. I was very lucky to meet Eric at school we were both taking classes at National. I was a first-time homebuyer with very little knowledge and a bit nervous because this is a huge purchase and you want to do it right. After talking to Eric all that nervousness went away. One of the best things I loved about Eric is that is always let me know what is going on and always available to talk on the phone or he called me right back throughout the process. Also, he gave me great advice when I needed it and found the perfect home for me. It took some time because I had some certain requirements, but we got the perfect home. Now I can super happy because I got everything I wanted in my house. Eric will go the extra mile for you to make sure your happy. He did more then he needed to do. I now consider Eric a great friend and would highly recommend him to anyone that is searching for a new home. Thanks again Eric. read more

When I was getting ready to sell my mom's house, I interviewed several real estate agents based on recommendations I had received. I narrowed it down to two whom I met with personally. From the very beginning I truly connected with Eric Herman and Josh Himbert. They had a high level of professionalism along with a willingness to listen. These qualities were so critical to understanding what needed to be done to get the house ready for sale. They were knowledgeable about the area and they provided excellent references for work that needed to be done. They were always willing to step in when and wherever needed. They were realistic, supportive and understanding. They were available whenever I needed help. I loved their can-do attitude, their enthusiasm and their coaching. I feel like I have made friends for life! What more can you ask for? Thank you Eric and Josh for helping me to take care of Mom's house honorably and provide the new buyer with opportunities for new and lasting memories. read more

Great doesn't begin to describe the level of knowledge, professionalism, and most importantly customer experience that Eric brings to the table. While many people can buy or sell a house for you (hell an app like Redfin can do it) Eric shows his value well beyond just usual agent filling paperwork. He is 100% transparent and is not afraid to share his thoughts good or bad about the property, the location, the potential, and anything else that has to do with the deal. If you're okay with another fly by the night, just got my license and now I'm "certified" to help you invest in a $1M home agent, then this is NOT your guy. If you want someone who is going to treat you like family, work day and night to ensure the deal is in your favor, and have the connections to get it done on time in the hardest buyers market in over 30 years, then Eric IS your guy! And if that doesn't do it for you, Eric is a Veteran who takes care of other Veterans, and we all know vets do it best! read more

Working with Eric Herman exceeded any of my expectations. As a first time homebuyer, I was not familiar with the terminology or the best process people to involve. Right away Eric was incredibly friendly and took time to sit down with my partner and I to determine what would be a good fit for us. He even recommended a lending agent in the area, which we ended up using and greatly appreciated. Eric was willing to meet us late in the evening to view our condo and put together the offer letter within a couple days of our first meeting. He was very helpful in explaining the entire process and really relieved my stress level even though we were on a very tight timeframe. I truly believe his expertise helped tremendously in our offer getting accepted. I highly recommend Eric! and Thank you for your Service in the US Air Force !!! read more

We can't say enough great things about Eric! He helped us sell our condo during a very challenging market and exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Eric is incredibly personable, easy to talk to, and truly made us feel comfortable from day one. He kept us informed throughout the entire process, was always available to answer questions, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We met with other agents before choosing Eric, but there was absolutely no comparison. His professionalism, communication, and genuine care set him apart. We felt confident that we had made the right choice, and we're so grateful for his guidance and support. We highly recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy or sell -- you won't find a better agent! read more

Seriously, we've never second guessed using our dear friend Josh as our realtor when finding a real home for our family at the very beginning of the pandemic. He talked us out of a house we wanted but needed a TON of work, he told us to just be patient and we would find something that would fit us better if we just gave it some time. I'm so happy we listened to him because now we have a beautiful home that, as he said, fits our family. We are incredibly grateful to him and his expertise in the matter. On top of that, the whole experience was informative. Top Flight Veterans Realty and team are knowledgeable and wholesome people who care about their patrons. They're not just selling houses, they're finding people homes and I think there's a clear difference. read more

Eric Herman and Top Flight Veterans Realty made purchasing my first condo extremely smooth and enjoyable. After talking with Eric about what I was looking for(a nice place to live that could also be turned into a rental property), he curated a group of places for me to tour in Orange County where I was moving. We spent a few weekends touring places until I found a great two-bed/two-bath condo in Huntington Beach. Once selected, Eric drove the purchase process forward at breakneck speed(which I wanted), lining up inspections, connecting me with a VA loan provider, and negotiating with the selling agent. Eric is the best real estate agent I've ever met and also a cool guy to work with. I definitely plan to work with him on all of my future property purchases. read more

Eric has been nothing short of exceptional with helping my husband & I find our California home! We currently live in Maryland and the idea of purchasing a home from across the country was terrifying. But, Eric provided us with a smooth and flawless process. He was available when we had questions and was always willing and happy to help with whatever we needed! From virtual Skype home tours, to driving us around the neighborhood via Skype and everything in between; Eric was willing to go the extra mile for us to assure that we would end up in our dream home. And, we did! We could not have gone through this crazy process without him! Look no further for a realtor, if you have Eric, you have everything you need! read more

We met Eric by asking an amazing Real Estate Agent I worked with in Arizona (Barbara Beam) if she had any recommendations for a Real estate agent here in SD. She immediately said "Yes! Eric! I'll call him for you." Eric then called me within a couple of days and thank God! He was so determined to help us, relentlessly working with us all hours and any day and so so patient. Best of all he was so honest and gave us sound advice. Eric is definitely an amazing find in the real estate business, he was so resourceful and had amazing network. My hubby and I know for sure that we could not have won the bid to our new home if it wasn't for Eric. We already have good equity at move in! Thank you super much Eric! read more

We loved working with Eric! He was so warm and welcoming and made us feel totally at ease. We could always reach him with any questions or concerns, and he was willing to show us any house we thought we could make work. He always looked out for what was best for our family, even if it meant finding us a rental and he wouldn't get paid. Thankfully, he found us the perfect house to buy. We have been in it for a week, and are so grateful for his help. He even got us a beautiful, one of a kind housewarming gift. I definitely will not forget his thoughtfulness, and feel like we've made our first friend in the area. I will 100% recommended him to anyone who needs an agent. read more

Eric made the home buying process super simple, especially for a first time homebuyer. He was always open to listening to my ideas and understood what I was trying to get out a property here in SD. He fielded any and every question I had about properties no matter the time or day. Eric was extremely transparent throughout the process and it was evident that he truly cared about getting me into the best property possible. He constantly worked around my schedule and knowing that he is a veteran, I know he actually understood! I highly recommend Eric whether you're trying to buy or sell a property in San Diego! read more

We just wrapped up a real estate purchase and I could not have been happier having Eric as my agent. He was knowledgeable, professional, and on the ball with documents and paperwork the entire time. He was easy to get a hold of and proactive with communication. He is also a superb negotiator. He navigated some tricky negotiations to get us the terms we needed with ease. He made the whole process a breeze! When you are making such a big decision it's important to be working with an excellent real estate agent - and Eric IS! If you are buying or selling in Southern California, Eric Herman is your guy! read more

Eric provided me with the perfect home inside my budget. He does not care if you're in the market for a 300k dollar home or a million-dollar home as his goal is to get you in the home you want at your price. His customer service was incredible as he never missed a text or a call from me. However, being a first-time home buyer, you need a relator that is patient and willing to answer your millions of questions and to provide it in terms that you can fully understand. I highly recommend Eric to anyone in the market right now! read more
