★★★★★""Erika made shopping for a house fun! We had a lot of laughs as she kept my whirlwind trips from the Northeast productive and focused. Everything was kept organized by her and her team once we were under contract, and we felt re-assured to know we were represented at inspections despite being up north still. Thanks for the great experience!" - Jen"

★★★★★"OMG! Where do we even!? Erika Stewart, realtor extraordinaire was a pleasure to work with. She came to us highly referred and with a knowledge of the Triangle area "like the back of her hand." After months of looking and a decision to stop looking, we found The house! All of the upgrades and space that we are looking for. Erika helped us get to closing in 30 days without a single hiccup! She, and Zach, her referred mortgage broker helped us get into our home with a sweet interest rate and easy process. At closing, Erika sat with us and was present while we sealed the deal. She was a wonderful advocate, liaison, and the consummate professional. For all things realty: Choose Erika Stewart!" - Lacrecia Bell

★★★★★"It was a pleasure working with Erika. Finding a home in the Durham-Raleigh area during the 2021 housing market was an odyssey. Erika worked diligently in finding the houses that matched our criteria and took the time to discuss with us the pros and cons of every candidate house. She was always friendly, supportive, patient, and willing to reschedule appointments when necessary. We would highly recommend Erika as an agent." -Andres & Slyvia

★★★★★"Erika was absolutely amazing. She went over and above to help us find the right house. We needed to move from Michigan to NC during the middle of the summer and in the middle of COVID. Erika spent time listening to what we needed in a house and visited house after house, sending videos and photos to us since we couldn't travel to look in person. I felt absolutely comfortable purchasing a house without having seen it because Erika listened and attended to our needs so well. She was always looking for where our piano would go, if the amenities were a fit for our family, and if there were little annoyances that she wanted to make us aware of. She was responsive and patient and supportive, all the things you want in a realtor. I highly recommend her!" -Chandra
★★★★★"Erika Stewart is awesome! Me and my family just moved to NC from NJ and she helped us find our home in this crazy market. Needless to say, my wife and I were stressed out but Erika was there from the beginning to the end and beyond. She put us at ease and hand held us through the whole process. Erika is responsive, knowledgable of the area, proactive, and just too easy to get along with. If you are looking to buy a house and you are stressed from this market, then Erika is for you. We do highly recommend Erika 1000% because she is that good!" -David C

★★★★★"Erika is really dedicated and involved and really listens to our needs and concerns." -Gabriela Dordea

★★★★★"Erika was outstanding! It was an absolute pleasure to work with her. Buying a home is exciting but the process can be overwhelming and frustrating. We found Erika to be patient, responsive and very resourceful. She was extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods in NC that we were interested in and she also introduced us to new ones to explore. Even after our needs and goals shifted and we changed the requirements of our search (a couple of times), she hung in there with us to help us find and win the bid on the perfect property. Thank you for the last minute appointments to view hot properties. Thank you for the additional research on HOAs and seller motives. Thank you for your guidance during the competitive bidding process. Partnering with Erika also meant that we had the full power of the Element Realty team working on our behalf. Her team helped us navigate the loan process and secure the best professionals for every aspect of a smooth closing. Erika, thank you for going above and beyond to help my family reach our goals." -Glenn and Kimberly Hames

★★★★★"Working with Erika Stewart was the most pleasant realty estate experience I have had in more than 20 years of buying and selling homes. She possesses excellent attention to detail, is a phenomenal listener and also a lot of fun to be around, while maintaining professionalism throughout every meeting and transaction. The home she found for my daughter and I ended up being such a perfect fit in so many ways, thanks to Erika and her skill as a realtor."-Meagan Lehmann

★★★★★"Erika was a breath of fresh air for us! Moving from another state is stressful and scary, but working with Erika and experiencing her personal dedication to client service took away all of our fears. She is knowledgeable in all things real estate - truly understands the market and how it works! Any question we had, Erika was already on top of it and in constant communication with us. And even more, Erika just has a wonderful personality that is a pleasure to be around! From our initial introduction meeting via Zoom, to our multiple(!) house showing requests, and all the way to the signing of the papers at the closing table, she was patient and with us every step of the way to guide us. By far, she's the best in the business and I would highly recommend Erika for any of our real estate needs! -Jeff and Kristy Marshall
We're very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Erika. We were finding it challenging to find a house that offered more space for our growing family, and that was also within our budget. To further complicate matters, we needed to find a new home asap to better accommodate an aging parent who recently moved in with us. Erika came through for us...she provided information and strategies to help us navigate bidding wars and soaring home prices (that have become an all too common occurrence in this very competitive home-buying market.) We're grateful for what Erika did for us and recommend her without reservation!!!"-Dementric Matthews

★★★★★"Erika Stewart is an outstanding, professional, and service-oriented agent who we recommended without any reservations. We had an unusual challenge; to buy a home in the US from 5,000 miles away in Europe, during a pandemic, and in less than two months. We did not have an agent in mind, but Erika came highly recommended from a close friend. She did not disappoint and even exceeded our expectations from the strong recommendation. Erika managed this challenge and the home buying process with professionalism and astute real estate instincts. Some of Erika's key strengths are her responsiveness, availability, sharp communication skills, and ability to customize her approach to her clients' unique needs. She coached us through the process in a way that allowed us to be comfortable making the most significant purchase we will ever make...all done remotely. In the end, we were introduced to Erika, began a search, identified a house, negotiated a contract, and closed on a home that met all of our needs, in exactly 50 days!! If you are looking for a professional agent with a service orientation, we highly recommend Erika Stewart." -Shermon and Erica McMillan

★★★★★"We had a phenomenal experience working with Erika. I would refer her to anyone looking to buy or sell in Durham, Wake, Orange, Johnston and Franklinton counties. She goes above and beyond to get the job done." -Zhivago and Pam Swinson

★★★★★"Erika and her team were instrumental in every aspect of the sale of my house to the purchase of my new home! She was available anytime of night or day and made sure my interests were first priority. I highly recommend Erika and her team for any of our realtor needs." -Monica W.

About Erika

Welcome, I am Erika Stewart.

 

Born to connect.

Nurtured to serve.

Motivated to catch dreams. 

 

I am a Real Estate Advisor and Triangle area specialist. My mission is to not only find a home for my clients but to also ensure we make the right connection for their hopes, dreams and lifestyle. I want to help my clients discover a space for experiences and memories. So, I strive to actively listen and understand their motivation, from the start, in order to ensure my strategy combines market knowledge and trends with the right tools, technology and access. 

 

My clients’ house dreams are my motivation, and helping them catch their dreams with ease (and enjoyment) is my mission. 

 

I believe, as Maya Angelou states, “People will always remember how you made them feel.” This is why I strive to go the extra mile to ensure those with whom I am connected feel valued and important.  So, whether I am organizing moments with friends, hosting unscripted living room dance parties with my three children or educating buyers and sellers on market trends… sharing joy and serving smiles is the goal!

 

I grew up in the suburbs of NYC and earned a B.A. from American University in Washington, D.C., but for over 25 years (Wow, more than 2 decades! J), I have called the Triangle home. I love it here. I watched the area transform and bloom. As a Real Estate Relocation expert, I can definitively say we are one of the fastest-growing markets in the US…And for good reason! 

 

Where else can you experience the mountains and the beach just a short drive away? 

Where else can you immerse in the culture of theater while enjoying college sports, lush green trails and a fantastic food scene without sacrificing southern charm? 

And don’t forget, we are also home to some of the top universities and the center for innovation, research and technology!

 

I would love to share my experience and leverage my partnership - with the #1 brokerage in the U.S. - to help your Real Estate needs. There is no place like home. Regardless if you are moving up or moving on, I would be honored to guide you on the journey!
