Best Realtor ever. I will not use any other realtor and will give his name out to anyone in need of a Realtor.

Eric Jura will be my only realtor from now on for me. He was so thoughtful during all the sales I had him work with me on. My husband passed away and left me 8 rental propertys and he led the way for me to have faith that we can get these all sold and he did just that. Pamela Hodgdon

Eric was fabulous, he replied promptly to all texts and emails. He was extremely efficient and professional, as well as friendly. He met me at my home with paperwork to accommodate my hectic schedule. I highly recommend him as well as Cates.

I felt cared about and listened to at every moment of the sell. Eric was kind and thoughtful of my situation. He alway made me feel loved cared about and that I was never alone in this process. Perfect Realtyor and friend now. Never will use another realtor.

Erik Jura is the type of person who you think will be a good realtor, then you realize that not only is he a great realtor but he is someone you would be glad to call your friend. He helped us with challenges along the way and we count Erik as one of our blessings this past year. Erik was available for every single question we had. The time of year for our sale is a challenging time for anyone, but Erik would answer our call any time. We felt like if we had to call in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner he would have picked up! Erik has a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of a home sale. We never doubted his ability to answer any question we had. Seriously, if you ever need a realtor, there is not a single reason we can think of why you should go with any other realtor. We will definitely use Erik on any future real estate transactions and are confident that will be the right decision, every single time!

Erik was awesome he helped us close on time and also was always available when I had questions! I will definitely refer him to anyone looking for houses!

Erik is fantastic to work with. Positive, honest, responsive and knowledgeable. I felt I could trust his opinion fully. When things were challenging and stressful, we were able to talk through them and work out a plan of action that we both were comfortable with. Once we were under contract, the process was very smooth. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone I know! Thank you Erik - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Mr. Jura was very professional and very easy to deal with, making the sale of my house a pleasurable experience. Had I more property for sale I would have used his expertise to facilitate those sales also! Many thanks to you Erik!

Eric Jura is an outstanding realtor. Within the last 5 years, we purchased 40 acres of land next door to my home through Eric. This past year Eric Jura helped me to sell the home I was living in and also to sell some of that land. Eric is very knowledgeable in knowing what is available to purchase, what prices homes and land are selling for, and helps you step by step through the entire process. Eric is always available to speak with you day or night. He is just phenomenal at what he does. If I ever move again, I will always go to Eric. Wherever Erik is working, that's where I will be taking my business. Very impressed and thankful. Merry Christmas!

Erik was very patient with the process. Both the seller and ourselves were hesitant going into the deal. Even in this crazy market he did not push either party and I think this was critical. When it looked like it was going to fall through, we worked on some other options. we felt he did a great job. Listening was key! did a super job even during the pandemic they offered a means to communicate with the office safely overall very pleased and impressed with Erik and the office

We had never sold before, and when the offers came and we excepted one. Erik Jura went above and beyond to help us work through the details. Example items that came up on the home inspection. He helped us with contractors or ideas to get those few things fixed. All and all we are very happy with the way everything went. Thank you

Erik did a great job, he showed us houses that we wanted to see in a timely manner. He knows the local area and knew what we were looking for.

He worked very hard for us and resolved some issues that we were facing and made it easy for us to make the decisions that we made. I would highly recommend him to anyone, great job! For a first time buyer, Erik was very helpful anytime we had a question or concern he looked right into it and got back to us very quickly. He was very approachable and helped in every way that he could. Our experience was good, exciting and in the end very pleasing. We are happy with the home and very happy with Erik's performance. Thank you to everyone. I would recommend Erik Jura to anyone looking for a home, he is friendly, pleasant and very helpful. We had some rare questions and he researched and reached out to other professionals to find out the answers and informed us how to handle it. It was a tree safe issue, and he helped out tremendously.

We found Erik Jura to be extremely helpful in our purchase of property in the Rockland area. He was always accessible for questions and help. Thank you for a great buying experience.

Best Realtor by far in the area. Have used Erik Several times for both purchasing and selling homes. Will use him again every single time I need a realtor. Works harder than any other realtor. I’ve bought and sold houses in other states, and Erik is phenomenal.

We have bought and sold everything with Erik, he gets it done. We recently moved my mother in with us and were afraid she may not be able to get her a house because it’s such a competitive market. Erik found her a perfect house walking distance from ours so she can see her grandchild whenever she wants. The man has the patience of a saint, and worked a miracle for us. Thank you sir.

It was a pleasure working with Erik Jura at Cates Real Estate. Erik is professional, resourceful, informative and honest. Correspondence was handled promptly and the entire buying process was done with ease. We would not hesitate to reach out to Erik for any future real estate needs.

I used Erik for the purchase of my new home and he was excellent, very helpful and considerate. Definitely would use him again no questions asked if I need a realtor again.

Erik was professional, diligent and helpful.

Great guy!!

Erik was always accommodating, easy to work with and very understanding. Erik was the best agent I've ever had dealings with. Erik was very knowledgeable, kind and considerate. I can not say enough good things about him.

Erik supported me in the purchase from the start. We had some hurdles at the start, but we worked them out quite well. He covered a lot of ground, grooming the lists to provide a full list properties until we hit on the property I bought. He was steady, and helpful through to the final signing.

We couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Erik! His knowledge and expertise were vital in helping us find a home in Maine while we were living in Texas. Erik goes above and beyond, it’s not just a job to him, you can tell he loves what he does. We were worried about being able to find a realtor that would be straightforward and honest especially since we couldn’t actually be here for 98% of the time. Erik made the process easy, kept in constant communication, and answered all 1,837,529 questions I had.

My house was ordered by the court to be sold and so I needed a broker that was willing to deal with the selling of my house. My lawyer highly recommended Erik Jura for the job. Erik was very professional and friendly. I hired him because he knew exactly what to do and how to go about selling the house for my situation. Erik had a buyer for the house approximately 7-8 weeks after it went on the market. The closing was scheduled for one month later, but it needed to be extended due to my having to go back to court. The buyer had no problem with that and the closing date was rescheduled. Erik did a great job keeping everyone informed of the progress and also with the selling of the house. I could not have asked for a better broker to sell my house!!! I am more than pleased with Catre Real Estate!

We heard from friends that Erik was great and I knew Erik from School and feel very comfortable talking to him! So happy with Erik and all his knowledge and quick responses and getting our land sold!

Eric was great, easy to deal with. Eric was professional and friendly.

My interaction was with Erik, Not Cates Real Estate, that is how I see it. I would follow Erik to another agency if the need ever presented itself. Eric was respectful, efficient and professional.

I have bought and sold several homes and Erik is by far the best realtor I have had. He is very knowledgeable with VA loans which helped immensely. I would highly recommend Erik to anyone searching for a new home.

Erik made the transaction very smooth. A very friendly and knowledgeable gentleman. Our daughter and son in law talked very highly of Erik. Since my wife and I live in Oregon this was very reassuring.

Excellent job! Very attentive and was very responsive to our many questions and concerns through out the whole process.very knowledgable and made for a smooth process that resulted in the perfect home for our family.

Erik is very straightforward to work with and patiently follows sellers wishes with listing. He is a full time realtor. We had a buyer for our home at full asking before it was even advertised.

Erik was thorough and knowledgeable with the area, the type of home and market analysis of the home in its location. Erik was honest, direct and professional. His follow up and quick ability to get a buyer for the property far surpassed my expectations.

Erik is a true professional. He went above and beyond to make sure we were getting our money's worth. Can't say enough good about him. Will use him for sure on our next transaction.

When I began our house hunt, I was quite dismayed by my realtor choice. She said things like: "this house'll be gone in a week!" To push my decision... Otherwise she seemed not really interested. A new friend of mine suggested Erik; apparently they're neighbors. When we met I realized he was fathoms of depth more Professional than my other realtor. He had us sign things right away, he really was interested in the details of our situation, and he held our hand! I no longer felt we were 'on-our-own' in the real estate game. And he did No posturing or pushing. Actually urging prudence and welcoming the inspectors in ... wanting us to be happy with our purchase ...

We had a complicated long-distance purchasing situation and Erik was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He was always available quick to react to status changes in real time. Erik directly handled communication with many different parties to make the home buying process as seamless as possible for us.

Erik was right on top of it from start to finish. I would certainly use him again and recommend him to a friend.

I found Erik to be a very knowledgeable person with a friendly personality. Erik is always only a phone call away and kept me well informed daily. He also recommended an attorney to do the closing which I was impressed with.

We spoke with Erik in regards to land we wanted to purchase. We gave him the information and he ran with it. Erik was thorough, knowledgeable, and easy to speak with about concerns. He addressed all questions in a timely manner and we purchased the land within 2 months time. Erik was fantastic and I would not hesitate to call on him again.

Erik was extremely helpful in finding what I wanted, where I wanted to be and working out a dial I liked. He then went above & beyond to insure everything was done on time for my closing date.

Erik Jura is a rare gem in the real estate business, he is the guy you want to have with you when your house shopping and working your way through the tremendous mounds of paperwork There wasn't a hiccup that we hit that Erik wasn't able to find a speedy solution to, he works with years of experience and it shows in his work. I'd highly recommend giving Erik a call if you're buying, selling or just have some questions, he's a friendly character that can help you along your journey.

Erik was wonderful. He always answered any questions we had promptly and efficiently. We sold a previous home in February of this year and did not have a good experience with the realtor so we were so glad that Erik came highly recommended from family and more than exceeded our hopes. Thanks for making the process of buying land easy Erik. We will definitely recommend Erik to anyone looking for an excellent realtor. Thank you!!

Erik was really patient when I viewed the property. I didn't feel rushed or under pressure. Erik helped to make the whole experience of buying my new home enjoyable and easy. Thank you Erik for making a dream come true.

Erik was outstanding.

Erik was wonderful from start to finish. Erik did such a wonderful job helping us sell our home we hired him to help us find our perfect new home as well. I also referred him to my sister and he helped her find her perfect home. If I ever had the need to purchase or sell again Erik would be at the top of my list.

I chose Eric because he is knowledgeable and a hard worker. Eric worked the property. He showed it many times. It was a small piece of land so the commission was not large, but he still worked as if it were an expensive sale. Eric was all of the above.

Erik was just like the guy next door! He was helpful, concerned and professional! I am grateful for his professionalism and would not hesitate to call him again.

Eric was so helpful and was always available.Highly recommended

We had a Goal! Our dream was to sell our place here and be able to fund a snowbird get away. we needed to meet two requirements, Sell this property for near its full potential, and do so in a short timeline. We knew this created opposing obstacles for a agent. The selection of a Broker/Agent was going to be critical. being tied into a exclusive agreement with the wrong agent would crush our dream. Knowing this was a "Do or Die" I undertook a selection process perhaps more in depth than most would, We had the opportunity to do so while we finished preparing the property for the Market. Other Brokers seemed to be out of touch with the owners of property listed with them. I interviewed property owners attempting to sell from three brokers from a list that I had narrowed down from a larger group, I wanted to see how positive they felt about the choice they had made. I asked if they were comfortable signing a exclusive agreement, inquired about how they felt about effort and commitment to selling their home. It quickly identified who was seen as satisfying the needs of the seller. I spoke with three agents. Other individuals whom were interviewed did not seem to able to come up with a marketing plan that I felt would achieve the results I wanted in the timeline given. It just felt like the same sales pitch again and again, lets list it and see what happens, the market is a variable, the location could work for or against us... blah, blah, blah. Erik listened, questioned, and presented what he though would help. He was not willing to over-commit but displayed dedication. When the time came to sign the agreement i was comfortable with my choice. That was the easy part, now the work began. With his sense of humor tempering my anxiety regarding the goals I had presented, we pressed forward. The house was listed and It was in his hands. Erik understood my goals for the property and the approach I wanted to take to sell it. He effectively used his knowledge of the local market, and targeted buyers for that property. He provided suggestion and good counsel Erik gave credible advice, was flexible on the presentation strategy, and the end result was a closing in less time than expected, and for the targeted amount. In the end and during the closing it was clear that he not only wanted a sale for myself but wanted the buyer to be satisfied with the results. This resulted in a stress free transaction between the Buyer and myself. I would without hesitation use Erik again. Feel Free to contact me with questions.

My husband and I were purchasing real estate for the first time and had a great experience wth Cates. Erik Jura was understanding and patient and answered any questions we had throughout the whole process.

Always replied to calls and texts regardless of the hour. Knowledgeable and professional.. will come back again for sure. Especially meant allot that he was willing to meet in a Sunday with short notice in order to show the house to our family.
