We were so grateful to have an amazing realtor who was always on top of everything. Eric was always able to answer any question we had with an answer that we were able to understand. This process was the most confusing and stressful time of our entire lives, probably because we were purchasing a fixer upper. Eric also helped us with that process as well. He provided us with some tools, knowledge, and even some equipment. Eric helped make our decision in purchasing our fixer upper so much easier. We ended up with more square footage with a lower price. All it took from us was a lot of elbow grease and some love and care. Our home looks amazing now and just the way we wanted, all because Eric helped us feel more confident with our purchase. He was always available day or night for whatever questions we had. He was able to help us see that the house had good bones and could be an amazing place to call home. Thank you Eric for everything. We will always remember you and everything you did to help us feel more confident with our purchase.

Sacramento Home Buyer Review
Theresa Annon

Eric was the best agent I could hope for in my home buying experience. My wife and I were very particular about what kind of home we wanted and had all but given up hope after searching through thousands of listings. We had finally found a home we wanted with another agent, only for us to lose the home to a lower bid due to that agent giving bad information and putting us in a terrible negotiating position. After that experience, we were referred to Eric, who was the exact opposite in every way. Eric answered all our questions on the first call and immediately followed up with a detailed email outlining the benefits of working with him. We searched throughout the Greater Sacramento area and ultimately found a home we loved. Even after a major issue with our loan just 10 days before closing, Eric stepped in, connected us with new lenders, and helped us get re-approved within 24 hours and conditionally approved within a week. On top of that, we made a new offer and the sellers reduced the price by $25,000. Eric also honored a 1% rebate toward our closing costs out of his own commission. He stayed with us every step of the way until everything was completed. An amazing experience, and we will definitely work with him again.

Eric Macalma went above and beyond the call of duty. He always went out of his way to please us. When we finally found a home and made a successful bid, he was able to get us an extra $15,000 off. Eric always goes the extra mile and does his job in exemplary fashion. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric to anyone looking to buy a house in this crazy market.

Bought a fixer that Eric helped guide me through the process of purchase with the various inspections, connecting with title and loan officers, as well as the timeline. If it had not been for Eric, I’d have left $7,500 on the table. Eric has gone above and beyond other agents that I’ve worked with in the past 20 years. Regardless of day and time, he will respond promptly to help you accomplish what you need. Thanks.

Fixer-Upper Home Purchase in Sacramento Area
Wayne Garcia

Getting Eric as an agent was the best decision we made. My wife and I had been overwhelmed by the market and were really lost with the whole process. We had bad experiences with agents in the Sacramento region until Eric contacted us. He was very encouraging and pushed us to ask questions without ever making us feel uncomfortable. He gave us recommendations that made the entire experience more smooth and manageable. Eric is extremely responsive, personable, and genuinely cares about his clients. He made us feel like we were his priority even while working on multiple deals. If you’re unsure about hiring a real estate agent, I would strongly recommend Eric. He feels like a trusted advisor, not a salesperson.

Sacramento First-Time Home Buyer Experience
Brian Vargas

We were first-time home buyers and in this market that can be an absolute nightmare. Eric made it simple and easy for us. We were looking for a home in the Sacramento area while moving from the Bay Area, so our schedule for viewings was very limited. Eric worked around our schedule and was extremely responsive at any time of day. He explained the offer process clearly and our offer was accepted within 15 minutes. On the day we received the keys, we had an issue with the locks, and Eric handled it immediately by calling a locksmith and covering the service. If you’re looking for a down-to-earth real estate agent with no pressure, Eric is the one.

Eric was an excellent realtor to work with during my home purchase. Even though I'm not a first-time homebuyer, he still made the process incredibly smooth and stress-free. He was very responsive, communicated clearly, and stayed on top of everything from start to finish. What I appreciated most was how helpful he was in walking me through the details and helping me decide what was worth negotiating. His guidance made me feel confident in my decisions throughout the entire process. I would absolutely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a realtor who is professional, efficient, and truly supportive.

Eric was great throughout the entire process. Upon first meeting Eric, he was very knowledgeable and clear about what the process is like when buying a home and how to successfully purchase a home. He was realistic, yet had great negotiating skills when making an offer on a home.

Eric Macalma did an excellent job helping me close on an excellent house when we were operating within a relatively tight time constraint. He helped us negotiate a reasonable price point and quickly moved through the process. He was highly informative and accommodating throughout.

Eric is amazing. He helped us find our forever home. He was ready to show me any home, no matter the location. He was very patient and gave me so much information. I would most definitely recommend him if you're looking to find your home. I can't thank him enough.

Eric assisted my boyfriend and me in purchasing our first home. He was helpful in negotiating the sales price and closing cost credit with the buyers/listing agent. He was extremely responsive whenever we reached out, answering our questions and concerns within minutes. He made the process simple and less stressful, and I know he has his clients' best interests in mind at all times.

Eric was the best agent I could hope for in my home buying experience. My wife and I were very particular about what kind of home we wanted and had all but given up hope after searching through thousands of listings. We had finally found a home we wanted by another agent, only for us to lose the home to a lower bid due to that agent giving bad information and putting us in a terrible negotiating position. Eric was the exact opposite in every way. He answered all our questions on the first call and guided us through the process. His communication, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference.
