I have had the pleasure of working on a couple of deals with Erik. The deals we worked on were off market multifamily properties one of which was a duplex in Hillcrest and the other a triplex in the La Mesa area. Both of those transactions he represented the sellers and I was on the buyer side. His Win-Win mentally ensures all parties end up leaving happy and wanting to do more deals together. Erik was very professional and easy to work with and always willing to assist and work through challenges that came up during the escrow process. As a well established and well known Commercial Real Estate Broker he goes above and beyond for his seller clients and is extremely ethical. I look forward to working with Erik again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Erik on the purchase of a property on University Avenue in La Mesa. Erik's professionalism shows in his firm negotiating skills and attention to detail. While keeping his clients interests in mind, he was honest and collaborative throughout the escrow. If there was another agent representing the Seller, I am not sure we would have been able to make the deal work. My client was a restaurant operator and needed certain assurances from the seller to feel confident with moving forward. It is a rarity for both Buyer and Seller to feel that they "won" in any given transaction. Erik's no-nonsense approach helped both parties walk away from this deal happy and feeling that their goals were achieved. Hope to be able to work on more deals with Erik in the future!

I have worked with Erik on over 100 transactions buying, selling, and leasing property. His real estate and sales knowledge is unparalleled and truly impressive. Erik provides quality representation and goes above and beyond to make sure the deal closes; from driving hours to meet with someone in person to resolve a dispute to waiting in the city planning department's lobby refusing to leave until he gets the meeting he wants.. he gets the job done. If you are looking for strong representation, I highly recommend working with Erik.

Erik Egelko is undoubtedly one of the most professional, knowledgeable and enjoyable brokers I've worked with as a commercial real estate photo/videographer. On the first property we worked on together Erik showed up on time and well rehearsed as far as his knowledge of the property to clearly communicate to potential investors about the premium multi-tenant shopping center. It was to no surprise that the retail shopping center sold swiftly under the leadership of Erik Egelko. In addition to working with Erik on 3 of his top 4 investment sales transactions, I've witnessed Erik bring the same attention to detail and focus on leased properties which include industrial, retail and office buildings. Erik is a true veteran when it comes to the business of Commercial Real Estate and it shows time and time again on each property I capture for him.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Erik on multiple occasions over the years, and I have never had a bad experience. No one else has had the tenacity, drive, work ethic, and determination of Mr. Egelko. At times where others may falter or back down with confrontation or an undesirable change to a contract, he has stepped in and provided me with the best possible outcome without burning bridges to the other parties involved. I was once nervous of real estate transactions and worried I would lose deals because I was too agreeable. Now I go to Erik for any transaction, even if it is just for advice, because I know he will either have an answer or work with me to create the best possible solution for both parties without putting me in undesirable circumstances. He has instilled trust in me that he has my best interests at the forefront and, if he is available, I will always come to him first with anything real estate related.

I've had the opportunity to work with Erik on a deal in the past, and my experience was nothing short of positive. This was a retail lease deal in National City. A family friend of mine had a cell phone repair business and I needed to identify a good location that was affordable. Erik was able to help us out. It was quick and free of any hiccups. He is extremely knowledgable and most importantly, knows how to get deals done. I recommend Erik to anyone who may need help with any real estate transactions.

I have worked with Erik on several transactions as a lender. I have enjoyed the experience each time because Erik is always available, has an excellent knowledge of his market and is a great problem solver. If I were going to buy or sell a property in his area Erik would be the first person I thought of.

I have had the pleasure of working on multiple transactions with Erik over the past couple years. His knowledge of the market and his excellent marketing strategies are very impressive and result in very successful transactions. He not only understands how to structure deals, but is an excellent negotiator and finds ways to allow all parties to find maximum value in their transactions. He understands the due diligence process which allows for his closings to run smoothly!
