About Erin
With over a decade of experience in real estate and four years as a founding agent at Compass Ridgewood, Erin is known for her deep market knowledge, strategic approach, and dedication to helping clients find not just a house, but a home that fits their lifestyle. A lifelong Bergen County resident, Erin was raised in Franklin Lakes, spent summers in Mantoloking, and has called Ridgewood home for over 24 years, raising her three sons in the community she loves.

Erin’s expertise extends beyond primary residences—she is also an experienced investor and second-home specialist, owning investment properties herself and helping clients navigate vacation home purchases at the New Jersey Shore and beyond. Through her extensive referral network, she connects buyers and sellers with top agents in desirable second-home markets, ensuring seamless transactions and expert local guidance wherever their dream home may be.

A Lehigh University graduate with a degree in Finance, Erin began her career in Portfolio Management at Chase Manhattan Private Bank before transitioning into national advertising production, where she honed her skills in organization, negotiation, and precision. Her career shift into real estate was a natural evolution, combining her business acumen with her passion for architecture, interiors, and client success. Having successfully completed two major home renovations in Ridgewood, she excels at identifying hidden real estate gems and advising clients on value-driven improvements to maximize their investments.

Committed to the Ridgewood community, Erin has served in multiple leadership roles at Ridgewood High School, co-chaired house tours for The Women’s Club and Ridgewood Schools, and spearheaded fundraising efforts for the Ridgewood Education Foundation. She was also a Board Member of the Newcomers and MOMs Clubs, strengthening her local connections and involvement.

With Erin, you gain more than an agent—you gain a trusted partner who listens, strategizes, and delivers results tailored to your unique needs. Whether buying, selling, investing, or purchasing a second home, she is ready to put her local expertise, market knowledge, and design vision to work for you.
