The experience with working with Erika was phenomenal. She was very professional and respectful throughout the entire process, and she cares for her clients well-being. I am very grateful and blessed that Erika was able to be our relator, and she does not disappoint when it comes to finding a suitable home. I definitely would recommend Erika’s services to anyone who is looking for their dream home as well. 5 stars belongs to Erika for sure!Posted on Google![]()

I had an amazing experience working with Erika during the process of selling my mom’s home and moving her into a senior apartment community. From our very first meeting, Erika made my mom feel comfortable and confident about the entire process. In just two months, my mom was happily moved into her new apartment—something I had been trying to help her do for over 10 years! Erika truly handled everything and took away all of my mom’s fears with her patience, compassion, and expertise. I cannot thank her enough for her support and dedication. She is truly operating in her God-given gift. I highly recommend Erika to anyone in need of senior living guidance.Posted on Google![]()

This company provided excellent service for our family during my dad's transition from our larger family home to a smaller, more modern home that better fit his needs. Erika was a superior real estate agent who truly cared about us throughout the process. Erika is extremely knowledgeable about the industry and made the home sale and purchase of the new property seamless. We were also provided many helpful resources for seniors along the way to help my dad thrive in his new home and community. We highly recommend this company's services for other families who need support with transitioning elder family members to new homes. It would not have been possible without their support and expertise. Thanks again!Posted on Google![]()

A Trusted Resource in Senior Placement and Real Estate While I haven’t personally had to use Tree of ELM, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Erika professionally and I can confidently say she is one of the most compassionate and knowledgeable people in the senior placement and real estate space. Her reputation speaks volumes. Families consistently praise her for her ability to guide them through emotional and complex transitions with patience, integrity, and genuine care. Whether she’s helping a senior find the right living arrangement or assisting with the sale of a longtime family home, Erika brings a level of expertise and empathy that is truly rare. If you or a loved one are facing a senior transition or need a real estate professional who understands the unique needs of this stage of life, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She’s a true professional and a trusted advocate for the families she serves.Posted on Google![]()

I cannot thank Tree of Elm enough for the guidance and support they provided during a very overwhelming time. Their advice on both healthcare options and home sale strategies was invaluable. From understanding medical resources to navigating the downsizing process, their expertise helped me make informed decisions that benefited my family both financially and emotionally. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and knows their stuff, I highly recommend Tree of Elm!”
