Eric made our experience of buying a first home a smooth and fun experience. We knew nothing about the process but Eric had us covered the whole way. What I appreciate most about Eric is his honesty. As first time home buyers we wanted to jump at a lot of homes we saw and he assured us that there would be better values for better homes. He also has great connections that make other parts of the home process (inspections, mortgage) easy as well. Eric was the best and we were very lucky to have him on our side!

Eric was great guiding me through the entire selling process of my house. He knew local trends well and helped negotiate a decent price for my home. My house would not be showable without his recommendations of all kinds of services in a short time.

Thanks a lot, Eric!

Eric pivoted well when the market dramatically changed. He also spent more than two years helping me get my house ready to sell. His advice and partnership truly helped me sell when it was important timing for me to let go of my home. Eric and Lynn Purcell TRULY go above and beyond for their clients.

Eric Purcell is an exceptional realtor. Eric is knowledgeable, experienced, personable, honest and truly had our best interests at heart. We were first-time house buyers with little understanding of the market and real estate process - Eric educated us and understood right away what we were looking for. Could not be happier with how everything went for us. Thank you again, Eric! Highly recommend to anyone out there!

My husband and I consider ourselves lucky to have met Lynn Purcell years ago when we sold our first home and purchased our second. She is the most knowledgeable realtor, a true professional and a top notch expert in her field. She is also a wonderful person. We reached out to sell our third home and had the pleasure of working with both Eric and Lynn throughout the process. Both are straight shooters who are easy to work with and know the market and got us the top dollar for our property. Their combined expertise and understanding of current market trends as well as advice to make the selling process as successful as possible is unbeatable. They go above and beyond to make themselves available and have guided us through several successful transactions that gained more than we had hoped for. It is a pleasure to work with them.

Eric Purcell of The Purcell Group represented us in the sale of a family home. Eric expertly guided us through the entire process from initial contact through closing. He was spot on with valuing the home correctly, advised us on the multiple offers and took us through to the finish line of the closing. Eric was professional, informed and personable. He was always available to answer our many questions and to advise us on several important decisions. I highly recommend Eric Purcell and The Purcell Group!

If you are looking for top notch service, you can stop looking. Eric does a fantastic job from beginning to end.

Detailed and professional, Eric ensures your interests are being addressed and you are informed throughout the process.

The marketing was beyond reproach which landed us multiple competitive bids over asking price. He knows the market and what it takes to get the home sold.

Highly recommend Eric and would definitely go to him again in the future.

As first time home buyers, we really enjoyed working with Eric. He was great to work with from the start and always willing to go the extra mile.

This made everything from finding a home, to putting together a winning offer, to closing easier in a tough market.

Eric was great and I would recommend him to anybody. He is very knowledgeable about the market, which was helpful for us when moving from another state. Eric is also very candid, and he does not hesitate to share his opinions on what is/isn't a good value, etc. We especially appreciated this about him, as it made us genuinely feel that we could trust his advice and that he was not just trying to tell us what he thought we wanted to hear.

We bought our home in one of the toughest markets in recent history. I could not imagine doing it without Eric on our team. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and has solid relationships in the community; if he can’t help you with something, he knows someone who can. He will give it to you straight and keep your feet on the ground with his eye on a property’s return on investment and needed improvements. He is professional while still being relateable and will go to bat for you in a competitive market. In short, he knows what he’s doing. I’m actually going to miss going to look at houses with him, he’s truly become a friend. He patiently showed us the real estate ropes and made home buying a great experience.

I have known Eric and Lynn for over 20 years. The Purcell Group recently helped my mother purchase a condo during the pandemic in downtown Geneva. They were there every step of the way with personal recommendations from their extensive experience. They helped my mother get the perfect place for her needs. She couldn’t have been happier with their professionalism as well as there comfort during a stressful time. They made the process very simple for her. My mother is beyond happy with the Purcell group and I am confident that anyone who uses them will feel the same way. They are great team to work with.

We unintentionally started working with Eric when we reached out to Zillow to schedule a showing, and it was the best thing to happen to us! Eric hands down is one of the most knowledgeable realtors of the Fox Valley area and was an expert in navigating our long list of wants and needs in a home and neighborhood. He was always responsive and communicative, and was quick to share new listings the second they hit the market. If you are looking for someone you can rely on to find your next home, Eric is your guy!

Eric did such an amazing job with turning our house over. He was patient with us and set us up with expectations that he fully intended to stick to through the process. While every transaction could differ (market conditions, etc), Eric was able to get our house on the market, get the right people in the door, and work through the closing process. This all happened during a period of rising interest rates and expanding inventory, but more importantly, Eric was still able to meet the timelines he initially set.

Eric was the most critical member of the team, and I wouldn't use anyone else on my next purchase/sale. Thank you Eric.

Working with Eric and Lynn (The Purcell Group) was a very positive experience. This was the second time that we had used the Purcell Group for our Real Estate transaction needs and we were completely satisfied as their performance met and exceeded our expectations. They were sensitive to our needs and very attentive to our unique situation (selling our home and moving cross country). I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend their services. Employing their extensive experience, they advised us, and helped us position our property in such a way that allowed us to retain the maximum value for our home.

We had a very positive experience and would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends and family!

Eric was my realtor for the sale of two of my rental properties. In essence, he stated his personal value in the real estate business was to help people and to form life long relationships with his customers. I repeatedly saw him make decisions through the sieve of that value system. As his customer, we had some bumpy situations occur due to home inspections and some (imho) unrealistic home buyer expectations. Eric consistently remained level headed, kind, and was a fierce negotiator on my behalf. If you are looking for a responsive real estate agent, who will get you across the finish line with your best interests at heart, I would highly recommend Eric as your realtor.

My husband and I have worked with Eric twice, once when buying as first-time homeowners in 2013, and once recently as buyers and sellers. We went back to Eric because our experience with him the first time around was nothing but the best. Back in 2013 when looking for our starter home, we looked at so many houses and Eric was always honest, up-front, and positive. We appreciated his candor, and we could tell he really wanted to find us a good house, and wasn't in it JUST to get a sale. Eric ended up finding the perfect house for us. Fast forward to 2020 and we knew Eric was our only option to represent us as buyers again and also as sellers. Working with Eric is easy, comfortable, and seamless. He sold our home quickly and was positive and reassuring throughout the whole process. He is easy to communicate with and always willing to answer questions/clarify things. He also found us the perfect house to buy and he was a great negotiator throughout the buying process. We highly recommend Eric Purcell!!

Purchasing and selling a home is a major life event. There are so many questions and unknowns and THAT is why you work with a relator (Eric Purcell) who you can trust and know that he is has your best interest at heart. We have bought and sold several properties with the Purcell Group and working with Eric and his team has always been a pleasure. They are professional, honest, and will do their best to ensure the requests you would like in either buying or selling are met. It's important that buyers and sellers are realistic with their requests. That is what we appreciate the most about working with Eric -upfront open communication. We continue to communicate with Eric with other future properties we are looking to invest in. If you want the best experience with buying or selling, contact Eric Purcell at Baird & Warner.

Eric Purcell was a stand out professional in this field. He showed me several houses in the city that I desired. His knowledge of the market gave me a great sense of how to grasp price (especially in the crazy present marketplace) but his critical eye within the homes was beyond approach. He spotted things that I would not have seen and helped me evaluate all the pros/cons per house. I highly recommend using Eric Purcell in the tri-state area OR beyond. He will be my realtor for a long time.

Eric is an amazing realtor! In 2017 we bought our home- we were the crazy people who looked at like 80 people- he never once hinted at even remote frustration. Instead he listened to our feed back and each round we got closer and closer to our house.

There were a few houses that upon seeing in person (he hadn't seen them before), he said in good conscience that he couldn't let us buy them - mold was definitely present in both.

We have remained in touch and as we make our house our dream home, he has offered us great referrals and continues to provide excellent customer service. If we needed to sell or buy, Eric would be my top choice!

We have had nothing but the utmost positive experience with Eric and The Purcell Group! Eric was referred to us about 10 years ago, when we decided to leave the city and start a life here in St.Charles. The area was foreign to us, and Eric was not only extremely knowledgeable about the area, but also the surrounding areas nearby.

He was patient with us, truly listened to our needs/wants and was always very responsive.

When we identified a home (which we now own) that was high on our list to view, there were some hiccups with the renter who was occupying at the time. Eric was able to navigate through those challenges, and stayed on top of everything to ensure we got in to see the home. We got in, looked at the home, talked about everything with him over dinner. A few hours later ... we made our offer. He has terrific negotiating skills, guided us through the process swiftly and within 24 hours, had our deal!

We have remained in touch with Eric over the years, and he helps us identify other potential properties. He keeps us informed of the ever changing market, and communicates intel that is of value to us regarding our home. We highly recommend Eric!

It was such a pleasure to work with Eric to purchase our first home. Eric was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. He understood what we were looking for in a home and didn’t waste our time sending us listings that didn’t match our interests. It goes without saying that the housing market is at a historical point in time, with low inventory and low interest rates, making it especially competitive for buyers. I am confident that Eric’s career experience and network contributed to both our ability to quickly see and to make an offer on our dream home. With this being one of the biggest decisions of our lives, the working with Eric exceeded our expectations, and my husband and I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling.
