Eric Smilay has achieved a tremendous amount in the world of Los Angeles real estate since his arrival in 2005. He has successfully closed tens of millions of dollars in a short time for both satisfied buyers & sellers; including garnering record setting prices for past owner clients.

Eric is very knowledgeable about the city, and has closed transactions from Santa Clarita to Hollywood to Venice to Long Beach and everything in between. I love making the deal on behalf of my clients, and I go where the deals they want are, says Smilay. Although a naturally skilled deal maker, it is Eric's level of service and commitment to his clients that stands out the most.

"No matter how many clients I may be actively working with, I always make each one feel as if they are my only one. For my clients, I am always available."

Before entering into the real estate field, Eric graduated with a Sociology degree and Sports Management minor from the University of California Santa Barbara and began his professional career in the Robinsons Mays Executive Training Program as an Assistant Buyer. He instantly made a name for himself as a smart businessman and tough negotiator. Before leaving to pursue his Real Estate interests, Eric was in charge of a $20 million division of the multi-billion dollar company and turned it into one of the most profitable businesses throughout all May divisions across the nation. Several past Vice Presidents and colleagues of his former company have since requested Erics services to sell or buy their properties since obtaining his California Real Estate license. As a current and active resident in the Los Angeles community, Eric Smilays integrity and knack for closing deals has been proven in an ultra-competitive market, and it is this skill set that will continue to make him successful.

Her sense of humor and positive perspective always welcome, she has an amusing story to tell. “My grandfather had been a real estate investor, and I’d always found his stories interesting. Some of them were about his wise investments, and others, well... Long ago he sold the small commercial area in Laurel Canyon because he didn’t think that area would ever generate enough interest to support a business there!”

Some random trivia: Liz is passionate about genealogy, especially genetic genealogy, and is having a lot of fun building her family tree. Liz would be more than happy to help you build yours!

I was born in West Germany and came to the United States in 1969. I entered into The public school system where I taught myself to read, write and speak English.

I began working in the grocery business as a courtesy clerk a few weeks before graduating from high school. I have been in the grocery business for 30 years and I am presently the Store Director of Albertsons.
In 1977 I met Mary whom I married in 1982. Our first child, Nicole was born in 1985 and Dillon was born in 1989. Mary stayed home with our children for 20 years. She began working at Keller Williams Realty as the Transaction Coordinator in 2005. Nicole is a full-time hair stylist with V.I.P. in the Antelope Valley Mall and Dillon is a senior at Quart Hill High School and will be graduating in 2007.

I have been actively involved with my childrens school serving as a volunteer in the School Site Councils, PTA, as a classroom and playground aide, and in their schools various fund raisers. I have coached and helped on Dillons baseball teams and even joined Nicole in karate (where she currently holds a Black Belt in Tae Kwon DO, and a high degree Red Belt in Tang Soo Do). I currently enjoy attending Dillons high school football games where Dillon plays left tackle. (Dillon is entertaining the attention of various university scouts with the hopes of attaining a scholarship in football.)

I have a very strong commitment to the community where I enjoy the interaction with various people. I am an Elder at The Lancaster Church of Christ. I enjoy teaching a weekly Bible study group. I have been serving on the Board of Grace Resource since early in 2005, and have been actively involved in their many outreach programs and fundraisers.

Most recently I have received my California Real Estate License and joined Mary at Keller Williams Realty. My goal is to offer my assistance diligently and efficiently to my family and friends, and to the people I have served and those I will meet in the future. My 30 years of experience in the grocery business has helped me develop skills in marketing, customer service, and public relations. It is my desire to use these skills and my talents to meet your real estate needs.

If you have any real estate needs or know of anyone who has been thinking of buying or selling real estate property give me a call. I will even represent you in the purchase of a new home locally or even provide you with an agent out-of state at no cost to you!
