REAL ESTATE SERVICES OVER $ 1.4 BILLION SOLD | #1 AGENT – WOODSIDE AND #121 IN THE US PER REALTRENDS, 2023 Alush haven on the San Francisco peninsula, the town of Woodside is one of California’s hidden gems. It might surprise people to know that while in the heart of Silicon Valley, Woodside is brimming with natural beauty coming from Redwood groves and scenic hiking trails. Woodside has been ranked as one of the best places to live in California. With its mild climate, local trails, horse properties, open space preserves, and vibrant cultural attractions, it has become a highly sought after destination to live. While potential homebuyers can easily google Woodside to find facts and figures about this small town, to get the true picture of community life, buyers would be wise to seek out an expert. And that expert is real estate agent Erika Demma. Erika Demma knows Woodside like the back of her hand because she has lived there for the last two decades. Having grown up in Portola Valley, she has deep roots in the area and “lives and breathes Woodside” as she puts it. Her in-depth knowledge of the area is second to none and she prides herself on that. Erika has worked hard and tirelessly for her clients, earning her many accolades including #121 real estate agent in the country by the Wall Street Journal, #34 in California, and #1 in Woodside. She holds herself to the highest of standards and it shows. “It all comes down to hard, tireless work. I give one hundred percent to every client. Most of my business now are referrals from happy clients.” With her love for what she does, Erika goes the extra mile for her clients. “Part of that 100% is helping clients get their homes ready to get the most from the market. I have a broad vendor network that enables me to help clients whether it’s staging, landscaping, or painting in order to get the highest offers for their property.” In addition to her in-depth knowledge of Woodside, Erika combines assertiveness and a sensitivity to client needs, a skill that is rare in the industry. While assertiveness can often bring about a negative connotation, Erika sees the skill in a unique light. “I think you can be assertive in a positive way. Having good relationships with colleagues is one way this is a valuable asset. We compete for listings and then work together to close deals.” Even more so, she believes kindness is so important in business. “When it comes to clients, and everyone I interact with, kindness is so important. Kindness and reputation are vital in this business and everything to me.” Erika Demma Top Producing Real Estate Agent Written by Christina Lorenzen ADVERTISEMENT
