Crip Erickson

For almost 20 years, Crip Erickson has served a range of clients — seasoned sellers, first-time buyers, folks dabbling in their first rental, and savvy investors who are looking for commercial space, land, or large multi-unit properties.

Crip began his career in 2005 at Realty Executives in Old Town Fort Collins during the height of HUD foreclosures. From there, he spent two½ years at 8z Real Estate. He founded Erickson Realty in 2017 after realizing the hundreds of closings he had under his belt had more than prepared him for the duties of being a managing broker. In short, the problems that once kept him up at night as a newcomer are now what he looks forward to solving.

He prides himself on making the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible for his clients. Splitting his time equally between buyers and sellers, he covers all Northern Colorado and the occasional Metro Denver client. Fort Collins is Crip's specialty, specifically Midtown and Taft Canyon.

Crip has a proven record of success turning owner-occupants into investors by helping them upgrade, or upgrow, their primary residences while holding onto their homes for rental purposes. Tackling contract issues and finding investment properties are parts of the job he particularly enjoys. He also is the proud founder of The Indies, a group of like-minded independent brokers that gathers twice monthly to discuss the market, concepts, and contract issues. They also celebrate each other's successes and have formed a unique kinship over the last few years.

Fresh from Moorhead State University, Crip moved to Fort Collins in 1997 to play drums in area band The Atoll. Twenty years later, he still plays drums, primarily with Mama Lenny and the Remedy, but his main gigs are work and family; he loves serving his clients and being a proud father and husband. He also plays racquetball and tennis whenever possible to offset his appetite for movie popcorn.

Whether you're looking for your first home or you wish to 1031 your sixth multi-unit rental, Crip would love to hear from you. And if you want to play some racquet sports, he's all about it.
