We had an amazing experience working with Erica and Steve! We were difficult clients in part because we were relocating from Pennsylvania and were not often available to come down to Florida. They listened to all our requirements, requests and difficulties. We ended up buying the very first home we saw and love everything about it. If you are moving call Erica and Steve.

Beyond grateful for Erica and Steve Shepperd! They went above and beyond for my family and I to make sure we got everything we requested in our dream home! They are an incredible team and we’re able to sell my home within a day of it being listed! I don’t know how they do it but can’t be more appreciative to have worked with such kind and thoughtful people! If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, please go with these two! So fortunate to have met them!
by Melissa McVan-LeDrewI could not have chosen a better team to help me find my new house. With several bumps in the road, Erica and her team were so patient and informative and guided me through the whole process. They were an absolute dream to work with. I cant wait to buy another property just so I get the chance to work with them again!!
by Beth LeffelSteve and Erica Shepherd were my realtors for selling my house and also helping me find a new place to move to. I could not have asked for better help with the whole process as they were always available to answer questions and show me properties when it worked around my schedule. I so appreciated their input and recommendations. They even referred a great moving company. I had both closings the same day and they were easy and went smoothly. I love Steve and Erica!!

by Mitchel Rosenholtz6 months ago Erica and Steve Shepherd took me and my daughter every step of the way through this journey to do what I needed to do to bring us to the next chapter in your lives. If you are thinking of selling your home, you would be doing yourself a huge favor to call Erica. Erica and Steve are a partnership that has never been seen before. They will guide through the entire process. Believe me, I didn't have a clue as to process. We give them an "A+" rating in all categories. I could go on all day, but you probably have calls to make and boxes to pack. Good Luck!
by Noreen IkonenMy family has had multiple flawless experiences working with Steve and Erica. 8 years ago, when buying our first home, Steve made himself available whenever I called with interest in a house. As I openly shared all that I wondered regarding the process, he freely gave insights and opinions which helped my wife and I find the perfect home in Boca Raton. That experience resulted in the recommendation of Steve and Erica to my mother-in-law in 2022. With lovely photos and their personal flair in decoration, her condo sold immediately with the first open house, and then again a few days later after the initial, international buyer backed out. Our family couldn't be happier with Welcome Home Palm Beach Life and I anticipate working with Steve and Erica in the future. They showed a deep care for our needs and made us feel invested in their success too.
by Joseph LezcanoErica and Steve were always available. In a very short period of time we grew to trust them as if we had known them for years. So much, that we purchased a house without touring the property solely on their recommendation. It was a great decision to trust them.
by Rick VaccarellaErica made our move from TN as stress free as possible. She helped us find a rental, as we weren't 100% sure the exact area we wanted to buy. After we got settled, the search began. The market was crazy with people paying absurd amount of money over asking price. Erica and Steve helped us stay positive, we were able to pinpoint the area we wanted to live, find our home and not have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to do so! We are truly thankful for Erica and Steve and now consider them friends! Stress free real estate, as it should be... (I think i came up with your new slogan) Thanks guys!
by Oris CarballosaMy wife and I found Steve genuinely interested in our appraisal of the property we bought. Definite empathy here! I have bought a lot of houses , and with Steve we never felt that we were entering a substantial commitment...we comfortably drifted into it. Steve's assistance and positive interaction with Vendor and ourselves allowed a positive result for both parties. Since settling the transaction Steve has unreservedly assisted us settling into the property and community. Later, We shall undoubtedly ask Steve to market and sell a property that we have also in Palm Beach.
by Geoffrey BourneSteve and Erica were an absolute pleasure to work with. They patiently guided me through buying my first home, listened to my feedback, never pressured me, and somehow made a complex process seem simple. I highly recommend working with them!
by Krystal KlumppErica was my realtor for when I was purchasing my first home. I feel so lucky and grateful that she was by my side in such a huge milestone in my life and I don’t think anyone could have done it better. I ended up going with a new construction home and she was there with me helping select the interior selections for my new home and for the final walk through before closing. She didn’t have to be there but she chose to be and I’m so grateful she did. We treated each other like friends which made the experience fun and enjoyable and she also responded quickly whenever I had questions. Thank you Erica for being such an awesome person Don’t hesitate using her as your realtor. You’ll regret it if you don’t!
by Andrea AranaWe had the easiest time working with Erica and Steve. Our initial conversations on what we wanted and needed in our new home started about a year before we actually closed and boy did they work their tails off the entire time. We were moving from out of state and these two went to open houses for us, FaceTimed walk throughs, and negotiated a deal in our favor in a sellers market. If you’re looking for a realtor group that will work on holidays, weekends, and late nights Erica and Steve are it.
by Laura TorresBuying my first home was super stressful. I remember being the one who was searching for the homes, and waiting what felt like forever just to see them in person. When it came to our next home, it was a COMPLETELY different experience. Steve & Erica Shepherd worked hard for us to find our next home in a great neighborhood with the best schools. Not only did they find our dream home, they sold our first one within 6 days! I don’t hear a lot of stories where a realtor works 24/7 for you, AND communicates every step of the way. These two are a dynamic duo for sure and I HIGHLY recommend them!
by Brianne VecciaSteve has gone "above and beyond" assisting me in BOTH purchasing and selling a number of properties over the past 10 years. I will not elaborate on / advertise all of the special ways he went out of his way for me- because I would be concerned others would expect those same treatments! He is a very supportive, skilled professional, and I recommend him highly for any of your real estate adventures.
by Will SchneiderI appreciated how responsive Steve & Erica were to any questions and concerns we had during the process. In particular they worked with me for timing of showings and made it easier on me as the seller. They bulked them back to back and even did an open house. Anyone with little kids and pets that have sold a home before know how tricky it can be to get everyone out of the house at a moments notice. Thank you!
by Tiffany EpsteinSteve is the absolute best! He helped us sell our home quickly and buy our new home without any issues. He is professional and always looked out for our best interests. I highly recommend using Steve and Erica!
by Debra CoussaSteve and Erica helped us buy and sell our first home with such ease! They answered all of our questions and really made us feel like their number one priority through the entire process. I couldn't recommend them enough!
by Kate LaRosaWhen we relocated from Indianapolis to Palm Beach County Steve was chosen for us by my friend in Indianapolis who is also a top sales realtor. Steve was awesome & we couldn’t have asked for a better person to help us find the right home for us in Palm Beach County. When we decided to return home to Indianapolis we once again chose Steve as our realtor . All this was done during Covid. He is the best!!! I would highly recommend Steve to anyone.
by Denise FreemanErica and Steve were so fun to work with during this stressful time, and they worked tirelessly until they found us the perfect home! They truly made this process tolerable. I would recommend them over and over!
by Sheri VaccarellaSteve and Erica went above and beyond. They put a lot of time in for us, always answered our calls/emails quickly, were patient with us, and found us a home in the exact kind of community we were looking for. They found a way to make it happen. If I go through the incredible anxiety of having to move again they will be my first call!
by Anthony TorresMr. Steve was the agent for the property we were going to purchase. Even thought, we did not complete the process I had to take the time to write this review because I was so impressed with the way he manage everything from our side and the seller. He is not the typical agent that will put you in a battle; which with this House market in Florida is being the new norm with realtors ( which is wrong). Moreover, It was so amazing how fast we got a response cutting the tedious suspension when waiting for a seller response. In addition, from the way he treated us so fairly like it was him buying and at the same time accomplish the seller needs by providing all the information to the lender and to us quick and efficient. I will highly recommended as a seller or buyer agent. Is hard to find a rightful person this day that is not all about money and he seems like one of them; I'm not a person who writes comments or review but I didn't want to let this right behavior on silences.
by Caro RozzeA+ all around. From communication, to friendliness, to knowledge of the area and market. Steve and Erica were driving all around palm beach county for us to find a RENTAL in the middle of the hottest real estate market. Couldn’t recommend enough.
by Jesse SuessSteve and Erica are so professional and any time any questions you have they will assist you. I was so impressed how they were there 24/7 to guide me through this big endeavor. They truly went above and beyond. I would recommend them to all my friends.
by Theresa SimsSteve sold our house very quickly! Very professional, responsive and friendly. Would HIGHLY recommend.
by Joshua EpsteinWonderful realtors, even better people.
by Jessica BurtonGreat interaction and response. Rightful agent. Positive attitude. Highly recommended.
