Eric and Katie are nothing short of a joy to work with! Together with their team, they served our family so well during the purchase of our first home! They were kind and professional in all of our interactions, swift and thorough in their communications, and made sure we felt confident in all of our decisions along the way! 10/10 recommend - we would choose them all over again!

Eric and his team were top notch throughout the home buying process! It was especially stressful for us because we were buying a home unseen from the west coast within a 1 month time frame. We were also selling our current home in WA and dealing with the military PCS cross country. They helped us every step of the way and were very fast in responding even when we would forget about the time zone difference! Eric's team was quick to provide us with video walk-throughs of homes upon request, which were very detailed. From start to finish we closed on a home within a month as we were driving through

**5 STARS AND ONE MORE***
Choose Katie and Eric above anyone else!
I’ve had 6 homes in the past 9 years purchased and Katie and Eric along with the Navy to Navy Homes team has EASILY been the top team I have ever worked with!
Not only did Katie and Eric personally visit homes of interest for us with a YouTube video walk through (since we were out of the area moving to Jax) but they also do SO many little things that make the process so much easier than others. They lined up all the paperwork for digital signing, reminded us of documents or the other things like an inspection here or this task

Where to begin? I can’t even describe how grateful me and my wife are with Eric Hinojos and his team. Their professionalism far exceeds what is expected of a Realty agency. They handle people’s needs with the same care as if it were their own. All guidance and recommendations provided by Eric during the home-selling process were perfect! From the very first conversation we had I knew we made the right choice by reaching out to his agency. He explained everything from top to bottom and kept my wife and I at ease, making this entire process way less stressful thank what it’s supposed to be

We would recommend Katie and Eric to any and everyone! Selling a house can be stressful however they made the process smooth and easy from start to finish! They were available anytime we had questions and were very thorough explaining the process every step of the way.

This is the second time using Eric and First Coast Heroes/ Navy to Navy Homes and both times were super easy..as a seller and as a buyer. It all started with communication, there was constant communication and knowing the market, they were able to predict what we were going to ask. The photographer is great, check it out any listing and you will know why the houses go above asking and quicker than others. The admin team that works for First Coast and Navy to Navy was phenomenal, that aspect alone saved so much stress. Recommend 100%

Katie and Eric were amazing from start to finish. As a first time home buyer, I wasn't 100% knowledgeable on the whole process. Reaching out to Eric was easily my best move. He explained the whole process to me with thorough detail, talked real-talk pricing and expectations from the start and worked with me to aggressively look at options for the needs and wants of my family. When looking at homes, he was candid and specific in his expert opinion, knowledge and experience, pointing out the big and small things about each property with all of my concerns in mind. His diligent work really paid off

If you are looking for a squared away, yet laid back real estate team, First Coast Heroes/ Navy to Navy Homes is your team! I did a lot of realtor searches and Eric was by far the most responsive. We did a virtual meeting to introduce ourselves and we knew right then it was a perfect fit! Eric has an eye for details most definitely! We could tell he is interested in building long-term relationships and building the professional network. Then we were introduced to Vanessa who is the transaction coordinator. She, too, is a rock star! Everything was virtual, yet never felt impersonal. The communication

Katie and Eric have assisted me with several real estate transactions over the past few years. Most recently Eric was able to post and sell my townhouse in less than 24 hours and I was even able to get a little more than my asking price.
Katie, just 2 years ago, had helped me to purchase this same townhouse. Eric and his assistant Vanessa were professional and helpful throughout the whole process.
So if you’re looking to buy or sell your home or property this is definitely the team you should turn to.
Thank you Eric!!

We cannot say enough good things or recommend more strongly Katie and Eric! We bought our first house with Eric and had such a wonderful experience we later sold that house with Eric a few years later when it was time to PCS. Both buying and selling with Eric were extremely smooth processes.
In buying we never felt rushed or pressured into any decision. As first-time buyers we were nervous and unsure about the whole process. Eric walked us through every single step in the house hunting and buying process. We had so many questions and Eric answered all our late-night phone calls and not only answered
