Eric Chen & Team Client Testimonials
Eric and his team are consummate professionals who handled our complex transaction on both of our properties at the same time with expert diligence, prompt communication, and total dedication.
Neil Doshi, Banyan Equities
It's always a pleasure working with Eric, Blake, and the team. They delivered an exceptional result on the sale of our apartment complex. From the initial underwriting through closing, they demonstrated a deep understanding of the multifamily market, strategically positioned the property, and executed a highly organized marketing process that attracted qualified buyers.
Their communication was consistent and proactive, and their attention to detail during due diligence helped keep the transaction on track with minimal friction. They were strong advocates on our behalf throughout negotiations and ultimately achieved an outcome that met our expectations.
We value their professionalism, market insight, and ability to perform under pressure. We look forward to working with them again on future acquisitions and dispositions and would highly recommend their team to any multifamily owner seeking a results-driven brokerage partner.
Srinivas Yalamanchili, Positive Investments
“Eric, Blake and their team went above and beyond in listing the sale of our property in Murrieta. We have had the pleasure of working with Eric and Blake on multiple transactions over the years on both purchases and sales and have always had a great experience. They are experts of the multifamily markets they work on and are very thorough on their handling of all aspects of the transaction. We hope to work more with them in the future and highly recommend them."
George Voigt/ Jasen Grohs – Mur-Sol Builders, Inc. & Richard Tipping - Tipping Development, Inc.
“From the earliest stages, even before construction broke ground, Eric and his team were an invaluable asset. They provided crucial support with the lease rate, seamlessly collaborated with our property management company during the lease-up phase, and accurately pinpointed the property's true value. Their expertise led to a swift sale to an international buyer in less than four weeks on the market. Our past experiences with Eric's team have always been positive; they are reliable and consistently exceed expectations. We wholeheartedly recommend them and look forward to partnering with them on future projects.”

Thanks again for another great investment for the Wetton Investment Properties Team! Look forward to our next venture together.”
