Bilingual real estate agent in Lawrenceville, GA Hola, I’m Erika.

I was born in Mexico, and my family moved to the U.S. in the 1980s.

As a young single mother, there were times when my income was just enough to cover rent and utilities. My boys were my priority, and we moved several times as I looked for better prices and opportunities for our family. For a few years, I also worked as a leasing agent in the community where we lived.

As my boys got older, I could see how the moves were affecting them. They were leaving friends behind, and I wanted to give them more stability. That’s when I started looking into buying a home.

I did my research, asked questions and took a class to learn about the homebuying process. Eventually that preparation paid off, and I bought my own home.

Later, I moved to another city and worked in healthcare. At 45, I graduated from college with an associate degree in business administration, and then joined the local public schools as a testing clerk.

Five years later, while looking online for work, I came across real estate. My own home purchase had shown me how much there was to learn and how useful it was to know where to ask questions. I wanted to help other people find that information and support too. So I got my license and started serving people with Keller Williams in Lawrenceville and across Gwinnett County.

I know how much it meant to finally buy my own home. Helping someone work toward a goal that matters that much to them is what makes this work rewarding for me.
