What our clients say

Personally, I love working with Tom and Matt Terella at Erie Shores Realty because they are very good people and exceptionally knowledgeable professionals. They have treated me like family coming into their employ and are always available for questions and to share a laugh as we work through our deals, whether simple or very complex. I believe this to all be part of the sense of integrity and strong work ethic which is part and parcel of the Erie Shores Realty philosophy every day and which is graciously extended to all its clients and customers.- Beth
Matt was our agent in purchasing our recent home. He went the “extra mile” for us, finding a property in the exact neighborhood we were interested in. He was always available, assisted in every way from getting us in to tour the home, to finding inspectors and contractors. He was prompt in returning calls and always available to help move the process along. It was a very easy and low stress experience thanks to Matt.- Sheppeck Family
Matt Terella is without a doubt the most delightful and trustworthy realtor I have ever worked with. He answers questions and concerns thoroughly while constantly looking for the right property for his clients. A home is easily one of the largest investments a person makes and Matt is the sort of realtor you want at your side when committing to a financial move like this. I can't say enough about him - he's one of the good guys.- Joy Dennis
