Expertise at Every Step
No one can be an expert in everything. With a team, you have access to specialists from transaction coordinators and marketing experts to showing assistants and client care managers. Everyone plays to their strengths, which means smoother, faster transactions.
Expanded Reach & Resources
As a team we have wider networks and access to exclusive resources, like advanced marketing tools, lead generation platforms, and professional photographers. This means your home gets better visibility and stronger offers.
Constant Support
Real estate isn’t a 9-to-5 job. With a team, you never feel like you are waiting for answers. Whether it’s a last-minute showing or a late-night contract question, there’s always someone available.
Better Client Experience
A well-coordinated team means nothing falls through the cracks. You benefit from seamless communication, personalized attention, and a stress-free experience. Happy clients lead to more referrals and repeat business.
In short? A team isn’t just a luxury : it’s a strategic advantage. Whether you're buying, selling, or navigating complex deals, a strong team ensures every detail is handled with care.

Meet Erica Collica Swink.
Founder + Chief Creative officer
Visionary, strategic, and relentlessly creative, Erica Collica is redefining what it means to lead in real estate. As Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Meet Erica, she brings over 17 years of expertise and more than $300M in career sales to Detroit’s most dynamic neighborhoods. Her leadership extends beyond transactions; she curates experiences, builds brands, and shapes the way people live and invest in the city and Metro Detroit.
Drawing on her background in real estate development and training at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in San Francisco, Erica approaches every project with the eye of a designer and the discipline of a strategist. She has become the go-to partner for developers, buyers, and sellers who expect more than traditional representation: they expect innovation, vision, and results.
Her portfolio is a testament to her impact: $28M sold in 2024 alone, hundreds of historic and design-driven properties marketed with precision, and partnerships that have transformed neighborhoods. Yet her real differentiator is her ability to weave data, design, and culture into a compelling narrative that elevates every client’s asset.
As a leader, Erica is as discerning as she is approachable. She is known for building enduring relationships, fostering trust, and inspiring confidence at every step. Under her direction, Meet Erica isn’t just a brokerage, it’s a creative powerhouse at the intersection of real estate, design, and lifestyle.
