Eric and his wife Jess were born in Minnesota and have been lifelong residents. They love the people and the values that they hold as well as all the opportunities our great state provides. They both grew up in the small town of Hector, lived in Shakopee for 19 years, and permanently moved to their lake home in the New London-Spicer lakes area in 2020. They are proud parents of three children, Tate (who is a full time licensed Realtor with our team), Avery (who is attending North Dakota State University), and Beckett (who is a full time licensed realtor with our team as well).

Eric, Jess, and family love to take advantage of all Minnesota has to offer. Some of their hobbies include water skiing, boating, playing volleyball, golfing, fishing, and hunting with yellow labs Liberty and Milly. Along with all the outdoor activities they take part in, Jess stays on top of home trends, and she often helps Eric with suggestions and ideas for preparing clients’ homes for sale.

One of their favorite pastimes is following their local sports teams. In addition to supporting their teams, Eric is actively involved as the volunteer public address announcer for New London-Spicer Wildcat Volleyball, Football, and Boys & Girls Basketball. Jess is the C Squad volleyball coach at NLS, Eric volunteers with the NLS volleyball team, and both Jess and Eric have coached NLS JO Volleyball.

Eric’s business career began in Marshall, MN, where he attended Southwest State University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing. Before entering the real estate industry, Eric worked as a personal banker, gaining a strong understanding of the borrowing process and the financial aspects of real estate transactions, enabling him to expertly guide clients through the often-complex process of securing the best financing options. Additionally, Eric’s experience as a web production specialist has equipped him with the skills to leverage the internet and social media effectively, allowing him to actively promote listings and provide valuable resources to both buyers and sellers.

As a licensed broker in the state of Minnesota, Eric has overseen thousands of transactions since 2001, serving in both broker and sales advisor roles. His primary service areas include the Willmar/New London-Spicer lakes area, the Twin Cities metro area, Hutchinson, Buffalo Lake-Hector, and the Alexandria lakes area. Eric’s expertise spans all forms of residential real estate, including lake homes, single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and agricultural land.
