My brother and I decided to sell our apartments that had been in our family for over 70 years. I sent out emails to 4 real estate agents who had good reviews, and Erik Egelko responded within 10 minutes with a phone call to offer his services. Within 24 hours he had a prospective buyer with a serious interest in purchasing our property.

From his first phone call in response to my email on September 3rd, 2019, we closed escrow on November 1st, 2019!

Erik was incredibly motivated, hard working, communicative, and responsive to every question and concern that we had. We had decades of real estate ownership, but had never sold a commercial property. We were contacted by many real estate agents over the years, when we weren’t ready to sell, but we feel so fortunate to have found Erik. His persistence and optimism made the whole process a rewarding experience with a happy ending. Thank you Erik!

My husband, who is very involved with La Mesa’s overall improvement, introduced me to Erik. From the get go, it was clear that Erik has a strong interest in the welfare of the city and he was able to dial in to what I was looking for in a property.

Erik found the right asset and his negotiations with the seller helped me close the deal despite multiple offers being on the table. Erik knows the market well and it was a pleasure to have worked with him. Looking forward to other deals with him.

Erik’s confidence and skill in negotiating and managing a deal from end to end and assuring the best possible outcome was truly remarkable. Lets just say if I was in a hostage situation, I would definitely want Erik to be negotiating my release.”

Erik is a SLAYER!!! He did a great job leasing two retail spaces I have in La Jolla. He was knowledgeable and delivered results quickly. Within a month we had multiple offers and ended up with great tenants. He kills it!

Erik has a great personality and he is much fun to work with. He knows in detail every step of the commercial property sale. His extensive expertise and motivation to help his clients came out to be very essential in all of the buildings I purchased through him. He is successfully establishing himself as the most experienced commercial realtor in La Mesa and San Diego East County. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES !!!

I would recommend Erik to any property owner who is looking to lease or sell commercial property. I was leery of using any broker because I am a do-it-yourself type but Erik’s easy going relentless style finally convinced me to give a broker a try. He worked tirelessly to find a really nice tenant whom I believe will work out great. I know this because I saw Erik showing the building on many occasions while randomly driving by the property and he was patient with me when proposals were not a good fit. He was never pushy, always listened to my concerns and provided a solution based approach that kept me comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Erik did not make a ton of money on this transaction because he did what was best for myself and the tenant instead of doing what was best for him. Trust is not a commodity, it cannot be bought or sold only earned by your actions and doing what you say you will do.  Thanks Erik, I will recommend you to associates, friends and family because – You earned it!

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!
