There's so much to love about Ericka, but it's her passion for others and what she does that has made such a positive impact on both our team and our homeowners. Having worked as both an administrative assistant and a stay-at-home mom, Ericka is just as empathetic and caring as she is attentive and knowledgeable (and not to mention, fun and friendly). It's no surprise that she's such a pleasure to work with! When it comes to her role EG Home, Ericka has enjoyed every moment of learning about the building process and seeing how all of the pieces come together. She especially loves interacting with prospective homeowners and then getting to hand them their keys at the end of their journey. 'I love working with the people of EG Home,' Ericka says. 'We have an amazing staff and enjoy working with each other!' When she's not working closely with homeowners inside the office, you can find Ericka spending time with her 4 kids and attending their sporting events, band concerts, and dance recitals. The Yankees may be her favorite baseball team, but she loves watching her own boys play most of all! She also enjoys going to the beach and getting to read with her toes in the sand.
