"As an architect, I knew I wanted a fixer, but wasn’t sure what area I wanted to live in. Henry and Maureen helped me evaluate my priorities and showed me properties in many different neighborhoods. Their experience in renovation, estimating and design helped me decide which property was best for my wants and needs. They navigated the complicated negotiations and even interrupted their vacation to make a timely offer and seal the deal." - Karl, Buyer

"Maureen, Henry and Bonnie helped us sell our beloved family home in the Pasadena foothills. We chose them because we knew we wanted to make some tasteful updates to the house prior to selling and were looking for a team that could assist us with that process. The team at Erbe Blackham did not disappoint! We trusted their modern sensibility and they went to great lengths to make sure that everything was just right down to the last detail. They were a joy to work with throughout the process: we hired them as clients and closed the deal as friends." - Rebecca + Mary, Sellers

"When they were done prepping, staging, photographing, and preparing the marketing materials, I hardly recognized my own house on the website. We had already moved to Seattle, and Henry and Maureen took care of everything – painting, new flooring, new kitchen cabinetry, and staging. It sold quickly and at a price that created a new benchmark." - Kirti and Manu, Sellers

"I am giving an unqualified and enthusiastic recommendation of Maureen Erbe and Henry Blackham as Realtors. I wanted someone who I thought could work during a stressful time, who could present my house as beautifully as possible, and who would dedicate themselves tirelessly to concluding a deal. I found those people in Maureen and Henry after interviewing several other Realtors. I could tell they had the kind of personalities that could deal with me--a sometimes difficult person! They proved to be timely, efficient, and dedicated. They gave excellent advice. Maureen was an expert at staging and using some of my pieces and adding some of her own. Although Maureen and Henry are perceived as midcentury modern experts, I knew that they would present my Spanish Colonial Revival in a stunning way. The marketing materials and photography were beautiful, something that was very important to me. They secured print and online press coverage of the house on in many publications including Curbed.com and the Los Angeles Times. We received multiple offers from several well-qualified candidates. Maureen and Henry analyzed he offers carefully, and the final offer was well above asking. Closing went smoothly, especially considering that it took place on the day the world shut down for Covid! I will always be grateful to Maureen and Henry for their very hard work and dedication. I can't imagine having better agents! One big reason it worked so well was I felt like I could trust them—their experience, intelligence and taste. I didn’t have to mentally question everything like I might otherwise. Thanks again for a great sale! Best Agents ever!" - Lynne, Seller
