I had a really enjoyable experience with Kent. He was knowledgeable and willing to work with my needs. He was also patient with me and helpful. His staff was also nice and professional. His recommendations for other vendors to use during the process was excellent as they were all also good. Best experience, and I will recommend highly to everyone I know!
Theres nothing better than working with your own son when looking to maximize your return on investment, especially for seniors and retirees! Kent has the vision, foresight, and keen ability to convert under-producing assets into positive cash-flowing, investments. I highly recommend his service to my friends and neighbors.
When Kent said, "Let me help you," he meant it sincerely. I had never experienced selling a home before, having lived in the same house 46 years. Kent made the process seamless, even when problems arose, he immediately offered solutions. When I had questions, he answered them. His knowledge and guidance allowed me to have confidence that all would be well. I would recommend him for his openness, integrity, and just plain hard work (he literally got his hands dirty!)on my behalf!
Kent Erickson showed us homes for at least 3.5 years when we visited our son and his family. He asked questions, listened, and used that information to help me narrow down the area and home that we purchased. Kent helped our son and his wife about 4 years ago. My standards in choosing their Realtor were extremely high as I am a Realtor in SC. There was no question about asking Kent and his team to help us make a decision to relocate and then find our perfect home. Kent isn't out there showing property. He is out there educating, assisting and guiding his clients. There is no one else that we could have had a better relationship with the last 4 years. Kent's team also works hard to assist buyers and sellers. Thank you, Kent Erickson. We would not be here today without you.
Kent has helped us with some previous properties and the experience has been so easy! We trust his expertise, and they proved useful on our last purchase. For what could have been a complicated process, Kent and his team made things go smoothly. We thank you for your promptness, and having the experience behind you that just sets you above!!
Kent is incredibly good at what he does. We were actually the buyer in this case. Kent guided us through the search process and helped us to clarify what we were really looking for, distilling our likes and dislikes into a cohesive search profile. He is patient and helps at just the right level, catching many things that we completely missed at many points in the process. He advised us on how to approach an offer and we ended up with an accepted offer that had the right contingencies and timing to dovetail with the sale of our previous house. I whole heartedly recommend Kent and will be doing so whenever I can in the future (as well as use his services when we have a need). BTW, his team is amazing as well, getting things completed and supporting us and Kent throughout the process.

Our experience with J. Kent Erickson was exceptional. His ability to communicate complex information and provide timely advice was outstanding. We always felt comfortable sharing our opinions and questions and he helped us to fully understand the complex process of real estate acquisition. His knowledge and ability to see details in all aspects of the process are key to why we would recommend J. Kent Erickson.
Kent knows the market and knows how to work with the sellers. I felt a belittled when talking with Kent as a first time home buyer and annoying to him at times. He and the office were helpful when needed.
Paul And Irene Anderson, a seller from Boise City, ID
Kent is a man who doesn't quit until the job is completed. We ran into some bumps along the way of selling our home. Kent addresses each "bump" and finds a way to keep going. His long years of experience in real estate give him the ability to successfully solve problems and move forward. He is efficient, skilled, capable, competent, caring and honest. We are happy to recommend his services.
I was looking for an agent to help me build my rental portfolio. I came across Kent's information, and after speaking with him I knew he was the agent I wanted to work with. He helped me narrow down the exact type of property should be looking for and then found it. Kent had been extremely communicative and was always easy to reach. He helped me build a solid team to help me reach my goals. The level of professionalism and expertise from Kent and his team was superb. I cannot wait to work with him again on finding my next rental property.
Darryl And Ali Gerber, a buyer from Boise City, ID
We met Kent at an open house and after having a conversation with him, we knew that he would be the person we would want to use to sell our home and to help us find a new one. Kent is personal, kind and extremely knowledgeable. He was extremely informative and his knowledge of the area we were looking at was amazing. Selling and buy can be stressful but Kent never let it get that stressful for us. His superpower is positivity and always being optimistic. Thank you Kent for everything you did for us!
Jimmie Will Richey II, Boise ID, a buyer from Boise, ID
Buying a house remotely can be a challenge. J. Kent Erickson Real Estate, Kent Erickson, and the staff made it as easy as possible to get everything accomplished while keeping my best interests and desires at the fore. Kent is a great person to have on your side in the home buying process, and this comes from a lifelong cynic.
When I was first contacted by Kent I did not believe he was a person who would work on my behalf. Rather, I believed he would be just another person with their finger in the pie, and I as much told him this. Despite my reservations and attitude, Kent was always polite, professional, and helpful. Kent understood the difficulties of the remote purchase process and he and his staff worked patiently and professionally to walk me through the details. The knowledgeable staff at Kent Erickson Real Estate made sure that I was informed of dates, details, and paperwork and kept all of the processes flowing smoothly.
Kent proved himself to be a trustworthy and professional realtor through all aspects of the transaction. He communicated my requirements to the seller and he gave me feedback and counsel at all points during the offer, negotiations, and closing. Kent made himself available at all times. When we first communicated Kent gave me his cell phone number and told me his daily schedule. Kent made it clear that I could contact him with any questions, concerns, or information that I had or needed. Kent and his staff were always prompt courteous and efficient with their communications. They understood my work schedule and were always willing to use my preferred communication methods as things changed (text, email, call). Kent Erickson and his staff always maintained the highest standards of professionalism. They were always easy to talk to, or communicate with, respectful, and above pleasant in their communications. They instilled a sense of confidence and worked with me as allies to achieve our goal.
Vicki H. formerly of Nampa ID, a seller from Boise, ID
I have worked with Kent and his team buying and selling my townhouse. Kent and his team was always in contact, setting up times to look at homes when I was buying and the same when selling. I know that Kent would always look out for my best interest and work hard to get what I wanted. The team was always in contact and would explain each step in both processes. His team was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Kent and his team
Kent educated and advocated for us in this process. His knowledge and expertise helped make this purchase so easy for us. He combined two needs with this property and location in mind: (1) as an excellent investment property or (2) a place for parents to downsize and be closer for us to help. Kent knew the answer or rapidly found the answer for every question and was willing to educate when asked what questions we should be asking. Kent is the best! Alyssa is just as professional and helpful as well. Top notch team!
Darrin Donithorne, Harris Ranch, a buyer from Boise, ID
Kent was amazingly customer and results-oriented. He went out of his way to make sure he met all of his commitments and beat his established expectations. He knows his business well, and still appropriately kept his sense of humor. Alyssa was also professional and knew how to navigate the MLS well! I will recommend them both to future associates and friends.
J. Kent Erickson showed unflagging patience during a long house hunt. His expertise allowed me to learn the ins-and-outs of the process while knowing I had an expert advisor at the helm. There was not a single instance when my communications were not answered promptly and completely. When the time comes to negotiate a deal, youre going to want Kent in your corner. I look forward to working with him again.
I have known J. Kent Erickson my entire life and he and his staff represent the epitome of professionalism. The efficiency and strategic planning conducted by his team is finely calculated and exceptional. I will continue to recommend J. Kent Erickson and his team to anyone I come in contact with who are looking to buy or sell their home. It will be the best real estate move youll ever make!
I have never felt so taken care of, so HEARD, or learned so much through this process. Kent is an educator at heart, so teaching is a natural part of the process. Customer service is the name of his game. Now that I have experienced the real estate experience with Kent and his team, I would never use anyone else! The whole team works together seamlessly. Top notch staff! 10/10.
Kent is truly one of the best in the business. He handles all communications in a professional manner while also making you feel like a friend. He always has your best interest in mind and really knows the market.
Over the years we have bought and sold real estate in different parts of the country it was refreshing and fortuitous to have met Kent who understood client care and professionalism at a level that we had thought was unattainable. The balanced approach to Kent's strategy gave us remarkable results. We will use Kent and his team again.
Douglas Rose, Meridian, Idaho, a seller from Meridian, ID
We had used J. Kent's services with previous house sales and purchases and our recommendation led to two other family members engaging his services, so we have had multiple opportunities to benefit from his outstanding work. He was able to negotiate a timely sale that brought us considerably more than we expected. We feel fortunate to have been associated with him for several years and would recommend him to anyone who is buying or selling a home.
J. Kent went above and beyond in many ways to help us with some challenging obstacles with the sale of our home.
I would definitely recommend him and his staff. They were helpful and kind.
This move was a hard one for our family because of a change of job and Kent and his staff were patient with all of my questions and concerns. They made it as painless as possible.
The Kent Erickson team were wonderful to work with. Their attention to detail is unmatched. I have sold and bought several homes with Kent. He goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable with everything throughout the buying and selling process. Very knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. Thanks Kent and team.
Mandy and Sam Bishop, Boise, a seller from Boise, ID
We LOVED working with Kent and his team! Nobody knows the Treasure Valley market better. He listened to all our needs and concerns and did everything he could to help us through the process as quickly and painlessly as possible. He knows what to suggest to get the most bang for your buck and how to negotiate on your behalf. We will recommend Kent and his team to everyone!
Jennifer Roundy- Meridian, ID, a seller from Meridian, ID
My situation turned into a unique one when my washing machine flooded my home 10 days prior to the closing date. Kent Erickson was incredibly patient with the process regardless of all the hiccups along the way. My home sold longer than expected, but that was not due to anything other than the unfortunate disaster that occurred. Kent Erickson was able to get the buyers to wait for all of the renovation to be completed and the same buyers closed on the sale 3 months later. I am truly grateful for Kent and his understanding, patience and communication throughout the entire process.
Kent was enjoyable to work with and was concerned with everything for Arnie and I. I felt like he thought of us like what he would do for his parents. All I can say is he is a keeper. Thanks Kent
Always aware of my needs and performs accordingly. Would never hesitate to continue to use his services.
Rick and Charlie, Payette, a seller from Nampa, ID
Was recommended to us by our financial adviser. He had worked with Kent and his staff and told us how easy they were to work with.
Kent's staff is well informed and helpful. Always helped with any questions we had and either helped us at the initial call or got right back to us in a quick manner.
Kent is always available to help if any problems arise. If he is unable to be somewhere his staff is accommodating. What few small problems we had were immediately taken care of and fixed to our satisfaction. Kent and his staff are easy to talk with, explain things in layman's terms and are just genuinely nice people. They all have a great sense of humor and are like talking with old friends.
I have complete trust and faith in Kents ability to take care of my real estate needs.
Alden & Ashley Brereton, Boise, a buyer from Boise, ID
What really stuck out to us about Kent is that we called him on a Saturday afternoon to see if he could show us some houses on Sunday (this was our first contact). He asked what we were doing Saturday evening, and in 3 hours we were driving around with him showing us houses. He dropped what he was doing, and dedicated an entire weekend to us before he was even our realtor, that is the kind of service level he provides. Kent was helpful in leading us through the process and explaining each step before it happened, which was beneficial to us (first time home buyers) to not be surprised at any point in the purchase process. All of his staff were professional, friendly, and a pleasure to deal with. 2018
Stephanie Mann Boise, Idaho, a seller from Boise, ID
Great advice before listing so that everything was ready to go. Very helpful in finding someone to do the work. Very helpful in finding a new place, and patient! 2017
Kent and his team worked with me through a rough patch in my life and took excellent care of my real estate needs. I consider Kent to not only be my agent of choice but my friend.
There were multiple offers coming in on the same day. The sellers ultimately picked my offer because of how kindly Kent treated them. 2018
Kent and his team were extremely easy to work with. They know the area and gave us great advise to get us great offers fast. This is the 3rd time we have used Kent to sell or buy. All times have been great. Caution, they work fast! 2018
Thomas Hunt - Boise Idaho, a seller from Boise, ID
Kent was fully involved in the process of selling through the entire exchange. I would not hesitate to use him for all of my real estate transactions.
Kent and I had discussed rental real estate property opportunities over a year ago. Nothing came of it at the time. Fast forward a year and Kent approached me about a great rental property opportunity in the coveted Southeast Boise market. He remembered our conversations and my interest in rental properties from over a year ago. That's the kind of thoughtful service you can expect from Kent Erickson. The close process was quick and seamless. From being approached about the opportunity to close was less than 15 days. Kent quarterbacked the whole process efficiently and with ontime communication. I would absolutely recommend Kent to others looking for an expert in rental income and residential properties. 2018
Dave Sanders, Meridian, ID, a seller from Boise, ID
Ive used J. Kent on several sales/purchases in the last five years and he has always exceeded my sales time and gotten me an excellent sales agreement. He is an excellent negotiator without being pushy. Kent is patient and thorough.
I would highly recommend J. Kent Erickson to anyone needing real estate services. 2017
J. Kent Erickson was phenomenal! He did an excellent job helping us sell our home a few years ago. So when we were ready to buy another home we had no doubt who to use. He helped find the perfect home for us. He showed us every option we could think of. He was informative about what we might need and what to look for in our perfect home. I highly recommend him! 2017
This was our first time buying a house and we were glad that we had help from Kent. He gave us all the information we needed and good advice on securing the home we wanted when there were other interested buyers. I felt like things were favorable for us as well as the sellers. 2017
I have used Kent to buy a home, sell a home, and to buy a home again. I get anxiety going through the whole process but Kent was always there to touch base and reassure me. Honestly, his professionalism and then his friendship are the reasons why I always turn to him when I'm ready to move. Also, his team does a great job of follow upand are quick to get the ball rolling. Overall the ending has always been a great experience for me. 2017
To the point, helpful with staging instructions. Gets a lot of traffic to the house. Excellent negotiator. 2017
Douglas Rose, Meridian, Idaho, a buyer from Meridian, ID
We have purchased and sold four homes prior to our latest purchase of a home. We used the services of J. Kent Erickson for the sale of our last home and the purchase of the one we currently occupy. We were pleased with the services of our previous agents, but Kent stood out above them in all respects. We were truly amazed at the kind of effort and attention he was able to provide. We have recommended him to other family members and friends and would never turn to anyone else as long as he is available. 2017
Kent pays attention to detail - even the smallest of things. I have used him for at least 6 real estate transactions - I would not hesitate to use him again and again.
