What Our Clients Say
Erik was extremely professional, courteous, and sensitive to our situation. An energetic go-getter! Very knowledgeable about the market as well. I highly recommend Erik.
Erik was awesome!!! Listed and sold quickly with no issues. 100% would recommend and will use him for any and all real estate transactions.
Erik provided exceptional expertise in an out-of-the-ordinary market. When our first offer wasnt accepted as one of 12 offers on a property, Erik assured us that we'd made a good play and that the right house was still on the way for us. His strategy suggestions on our second offer got the deal doneโhis strategy was creative and positioned us so that we came out ahead. It met our needs and positioned us as choice number one for the seller. We got the house as one of 9 offers. Erik was a pleasure to deal with on a personal levelโkind, funny, warmโand he was a true professional that understood the market in which we were working. In addition, I almost feel bad for the guy--he says he's the hardest working agent and I believe it. He fielded texts from us at all hours of the night and helped us work through many, many hurdles to get to a successful closing. Id recommend Erik to anyone looking to buy, and although we've never sold with him, we certainly will on our next deal, and I'm sure his deep knowledge of the local market and real estate strategy would suit any seller very well. A+++. <br />
I highly recommend using Erik Dunigan for all of your real estate needs. Erik stays current & is well informed with the ever changing housing market. Right now, buying a home is competitive & can be a challenge. We were able to beat out the competition & purchase the home we wanted because of Eriks knowledge, professionalism & willingness to work 7 days a week. Once our offer was accepted, his team had us in our home in one month! Whether you are buying or selling, you wont be disappointed!
Working with Erik was a pleasure. He listens to his customers. His personality and professionalism went way above and beyond all expectations in assisting us sell our house. He is very attentive in answering his phone, if not available, he calls back within a short amount of time. I highly recommend Erik for anyone seeking a realtor.
After losing all hopes of finding a home in Florida, we were recommended to Erik by a waitress where we were having breakfast. In her words "Erik is your man" and boy was she right!!! From our 1st conversation I knew we were going to find our home. The experience we had with Eric was wonderful. Prompt communication, knowledgeable & courteous. Eric was always present and always available to talk or text to answer my crazy questions. He guided us so very well that we finally found our 1st home in Port Charlotte. I can honestly say that Erik will be our Realtor for life. Thank you Erik.
Erik has been absolutely wonderful to work with. I have many specifications as to what I am looking for in a new home. He is extremely patient and he always goes above and beyond! We are extremely impressed with him and highly recommend him.
Highly recommended. Erik went above and beyond with the sale of my motherโs house. Always available for questions and always prompt. Did I mention that he got more than our asking price?! We will be putting our own house on the market .
We just purchased our dream home! To say the least it is exciting but also a little scary! Eric was THE BEST! He came highly recommended to us and now we know why! He perfectly selected a house based on our wish list. He walked us through every step of the way. Eric is extremely knowledgeable, very professional and could not be more helpful! My husband and I were a bit needy (mostly me lol) and no matter when we texted or emailed a question (big or small) Eric was always responsive. You may think itโs a line when he says heโs always available but itโs the truth! I honestly donโt know many people who work as hard as Eric does!!! We had a roadblock and he jumped in and helped us solve it!!!! We have already recommended him to a friend and will continue to do so to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! Thanks SO MUCH Eric!!!!!
Erik Dunigan is by far the best choice you could make if you're moving to Sarasota, Manatee or Charlotte County. He has in depth knowledge of the market areas and his ability to handle the transaction from the contract to the closing were impressive. Service above and beyond made everything in our relocation and purchase go smooth. We feel fortunate to have found Erik while we were in the Real Estate market. He is a Top Agent for good reason!
Erik was very efficient, proactive and detail oriented. Buying from out of state was never an issue or source of concern for me. Throughout the process he managed all aspects of the transaction and kept me updated regularly. He even provided updates and advice during the most recent hurricane. I felt fully cared for throughout the process vs another transaction. I highly recommend Erik.
Erik Dunigan is absolutely wonderful to work with! As our Realtor, he helped us sell our house for the right price. He has also helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. Erik was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process. He really cared about us, and understood our needs from our very first meeting. Erik was always available to answer our questions.He is extremely knowledgeable and very patient.

Where do I start? Erik was able to find me the new construction home of my dreams. I have to mention, there were no available homes in the county when I began my search. Being out of state, I was worried about delays related to location. Erik found exactly what I was looking for - and the entire process was handled remotely. Erik took care of every single aspect of the deal for meโ he truly went above and beyond to make sure things were progressing in terms of construction timelines. Erik has built relationships with builders and tradesmen in this community - which speaks to the type of agent he is โ ONE OF A KIND. I have worked with agents on many transactions, never have I had an experience like this. I am endlessly grateful to have Erik as my agent and couldn't be happier with the way everything worked out.
Phenomenal Experience! Erik is a pro through and through. He is incredibly responsive through the entire process and makes sure to educate you on different scenarios and helps ensure we could make an informed decision. Erik helped walk us through the proper pricing structure, listing strategy and offered advice on how to best prepare our home to sell for top dollar. I would recommend Erik to any buyer or seller in the greater Sarasota area. You will not be disappointed.
Erik is a fantastic realtor. Heโs extremely knowledgeable, helpful, communicative and overall just a pleasure to work with. We would recommend him to anyone in the market who is buying or selling their homeโ you wonโt be disappointed!!
Erik did an outstanding job for us in finding the ideal home we wanted. We live in the Northeast and flew to Sarasota several times to meet with Erik and visit homes for sale. Erik was always prepared with homes to see that met our criteria. Erik is very knowledgeable, congenial and flexible. Erik is very friendly and easy to deal with. We would highly recommend Erik to anyone looking to find their ideal home.
It has been our pleasure to work with Erik through our journey in finding a home in Florida. Erik is a true professional and his attention to detail and follow up is outstanding. His ability to quickly build trust and listen to the needs of his clients is a strength of his. Thank you, Erik, for making it easy for us to purchase our beautiful home in Island Walk.
Erik sold our home in Islandwalk, he did an excellent job throughout the process, keeping us informed every step of the way. Erik made the transaction go smoothly for us and was great to work with!
We've used Erik and the Dunigan Group three times now. Erik is a true real estate expert and very well-informed about what's going on out there. He has great instincts and is always responsive, no matter what time of day you need him. Erik is second to none when it comes to helping you find the perfect house in today's crazy market. We had last-minute complications but he pushed the sale through and got it done. We've always had a great experience with Erik and would highly recommend him!
This was the fourth time we worked with Erik. Selling our home was an emotional situation for us as well as complicated as it involved demanding buyers and out of state relocation. Erik was incredibly knowledgeable as well as professional as he basically carried us to the finish line with his patience and direction. Erik went above and beyond! Way above any of his typical realtor duties. I have a new appreciation for how having a highly experienced agent is priceless in selling a house and we will never use another agent.
Erik is an excellent, diligent and conscientious realtor who sold our home in 8 days. He created an excellent online link of our home with a video and many pictures enhancing our home's attributes.
Erik Dunigan, is one the hardest working, kind caring compassionate realtors I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I was a tough client. I know I had more questions then most. We his father & I were selling the home we raised our children in. Then onto purchasing a new lifetime home in Florida. We had specific things we wanted in our new home. He spent countless hours with us all via text & FaceTime. He made several trips to show us homes all while we were in Michigan & he in Florida. I wanted to see through the FaceTime not just the pictures online. He kept us calm & assured us our forever home was out there. He was right. We couldnโt be happier. He handled it all for us. Meanwhile following through to make sure it was correct. I canโt say enough about this young hardworking young man who also happens to be our son. If you want excellence. Please reach out to him. He definitely stands out in the world of realtors. Signed very happy coupe with a new home in Vencie, Florida. Sincerely~<br />
Erik is a very smart, pleasant, and professional Agent. He answered all of our questions. He explained every detail of the selling process. He stayed in contact with us through the whole process. His advice was outstanding. He sold our home in 6 hours! What more can we say?
Erik and his team were so efficient and knowledgeable at helping us secure and purchase an investment home in Florida. The transaction was expeditious and speedy!
Erik Dunigan is THEE Realtor in this area (Venice & all surrounding communities). I have used him on multiple homes and would trust nobody else to get the job done. He is knowledgeable, responsive, accommodating, and goes above and beyond to help out his clients. In a difficult market (as a buyer) we were able to secure a brand new home with favorable terms. Erik also endorses and sponsors local small businesses, which is vital to the betterment of the community. I would only recommend Erik Dunigan to handle all real estate business with myself, friends & family. Thank you Erik!! 10 out of 10!!!
Erik Dunigan is a realtor that I would enthusiastically refer. He is totally committed to his clients. He is a good communicator and he always answers his texts, emails and phone.
Erik was a big help to us trying to find the right investment home in the Florida market. He has a great team that works with you to service all of your needs. Thanks
Erik made my remote move very easy. He handled everything from a leaking back flow to getting three quotes from movers to pack up my whole house, store my belongings and then move them to my new house when it is completed in November. He sat in my house and kept a careful eye on the movers while they were packing. He kindly offered to do whatever I needed done. He was very prompt in answering my texts and phone calls. Erik was compassionate and reassuring through the whole process. I highly recommend him.
Erik Dunigan is the best realtor I have ever worked with. He responded every time to my text or phone calls. He went above and beyond meeting painters for bids and scheduling work to be down while we out of state. He even paid for items after closings that the owner had not left behind. On top of everything not one thing left undone or not handled correctly. Extremely organized and very easy to work with. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again!!!
