Originally from Columbus, Mississippi, Erik Garlington moved to New York City nearly ten years ago, seeking a place where he could fully embrace his goals and be himself. After exploring cities like Seattle and Chicago, New York quickly became the right choice. Erik has since experienced life in diverse neighborhoods, from Williamsburg and Bed-Stuy to Bushwick, Crown Heights, Clinton Hill, and now Ridgewood, Queens. Enamored with the city's rich character, Erik transitioned into real estate with the dream of helping families find their forever homes - and one day owning a brownstone in Bed-Stuy himself.
Erik brings nearly a decade of experience as a successful salesman across North America and Europe. Known for his composed, resourceful, and motivated work style, Erik values honesty above all else, striving to make the path to homeownership approachable for new buyers. His love for New York City runs deep; he recalls long walks from Chinatown to Central Park just to experience each neighborhood's unique essence.
In his free time, Erik enjoys cooking - rediscovering his passion during the pandemic and challenging himself to try a new dish each week. His life motto, "How will you ever know if you don't try?" reflects his adventurous spirit and dedication to making the most of life in the city he loves.
