A Florida resident for over 27 years and a Naples one for 21 years, Erika originally hails from Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Following in her mother’s real estate industry footsteps, Erika grew up accompanying her to open houses, showings, and closings, learning the essentials of the business and the value of lifelong clients. She eventually formed her own brokerage firm providing a high level of professionalism and advice to her clients.
Working in the Naples luxury market alongside many high-end investors, builders, architects, buyers and sellers has allowed Erika to hone her skills to be the bridge from the client’s idea and goals, and to bring them to fruition. Erika’s energy and enthusiasm for client satisfaction drives her to create valuable experiences ensuring continued successful business relationships which will, in turn, be shared with new clients.
Erika cherishes the ability to work with clients from all walks of life. A professional who thrives on personal connections, Erika is a force of nature who genuinely cares for others. She has helped many women, children, and animals through her personal properties and her non-profit Heart 2 Help. She has had the opportunity and profound joy to assist many other local organizations in the community including Youth Haven, PACE Center for Girls, Guadalupe Center, and Richard Milburn Alternative school, to name a few. It is her aim and mission to create the first permanent home solution for homeless and abandoned children here in Naples. Proud of her Puerto Rican descent, Erika enjoys spending time with family, her husband, three beautiful children and multitude of pets.

~ Timothy and Pam, Port Royal
We shopped with our GCIP agent for the perfect house over the course of a couple of years. We looked at everything on the market from high rises on the beach to Port Royal before falling in love with our home in Aqualane Shores. He guided us with professionalism and care.
~ Dom and Debbie, Naples Residents
My wife and I would like to thank our GCIP agent for the superb real estate experience we had with him. We explained our needs and he presented options and knowledgeable opinions that helped to guide our purchase. He remained steady, focused and patient as we explored all of Naples. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and his company’s services. He always went the extra yard.
