Having previously held a Series 65 investment license, when she worked for a firm with over $600 million in assets under management, Erika is a powerful and trusted advisor to her clients— uniquely qualified to help them make the best financial decision to fit their individual circumstances and goals. As her former title was director of investor relations, she is a skilled communicator who is well-versed in the art of customer service.
Erika has excelled in real estate by drawing from the knowledge she gained from earning the Certified Negotiation Expert designation, as well as the advanced training received at a Fortune 500 company, where she managed and negotiated large contracts.
