Erin was born in San Diego, California and spent the first 26 years of her life there. Erin’s early career involved working with adolescents in an acute care facility as a Licensed Psychiatric Nurse on the West Coast. In 1992 she found herself searching for a change of scenery and after taking the advice from a friend who had spent summers in Maine, decided to travel across the country to Mount Desert Island for a visit during the summer. The following year she made Maine her permanent home. Because her Psychiatric license didn’t transfer, Erin began working in the restaurant industry as well as running a seamstress business out of her home which continues to keep her busy. Having a mother-in-law who had been in real estate for 40+ years and a background of working one-on-one with people, Erin felt real estate would be a great fit. She got her license in 2013 and joined The Erica Brooks Group at Swan Agency Real Estate.

Erin works with both buyers and sellers in primarily residential transactions. Trying not to limit herself to any one area, Erin services Mount Desert Island, Lamoine, Trenton, Ellsworth, Dedham, Holden and Downeast Maine. 

For Erin, not having to get on a highway to go anywhere is a treat. After moving from California, it took her a few years to appreciate the slower pace of life in a small town, but has since grown to love it. Erin and her husband Mark have two daughters and reside in Bar Harbor. They appreciate the sense of community in raising children on the Island and the security it provides the girls as they get older and more independent. Between real estate, her seamstress business and raising two girls, Erin doesn’t have much free time, and so any time spent with her family is a blessing. She enjoys volunteering with her daughters at the Hancock County SPCA, and taking a karate class with them in which they all are working towards their Second Degree Black Belts.
