Our People Make The Difference

In the series of conversations that bring you closer to the heartbeat of Ventura County’s real estate landscape, The People of LIV delves into the stories of those who make LIV Sotheby’s International Realty not just a brokerage but a family. Today, we sit down with Eric Swartz, an agent whose journey into real estate is as unique as the properties he represents.

Thanks for joining us, Eric. Let’s start with your story. How did you find your way into real estate?

Thank you for having me! My path to real estate was certainly not straightforward. With a foundation in Electronic Media Management and significant experience in apparel sales and eCommerce, I’ve always been propelled by a desire to impact people’s lives positively. Real estate appealed to me as a perfect blend of personal engagement and professional ambition. Making the leap in 2015, I’ve been dedicated to guiding clients through their real estate journeys in the Channel Islands Community, Oxnard, and beyond.

What motivates you in your work?

Making a positive impact, without a doubt. Buying or selling a home is a monumental step in anyone’s life, and I take great pride in making that process as smooth and stress-free as possible. It’s not just about closing a deal; it’s about building relationships, understanding my clients’ needs, and being a trusted advisor they can count on.

What drew you to LIV Sotheby’s International Realty specifically?

It was the brand’s reputation for excellence and the culture of collaboration that really drew me in. LIV Sotheby’s Realty doesn’t just pay lip service to quality; it embodies it, in every interaction and every transaction. There’s a sense of belonging here, a shared mission to not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations. The seasoned agent culture and the hyper-focus on the local luxury market made me feel right at home.

Speaking of the market, are there any trends you’re particularly excited about?

Absolutely. I’m fascinated by the innovative ways in which design and functionality intersect in modern homes, particularly within the Channel Islands Community, Oxnard. The elegance of floating bathroom vanities and the robustness of compressed stone flooring are more than just design choices; they’re about enhancing lifestyle and sustainability. Watching these trends unfold and advising clients on these options is incredibly rewarding.

When you’re not working, how do you like to spend your time?

My downtime is devoted to family and the sea. Sharing moments with my daughter, Ophelia, and my mom, Ginny. I also love being out on the water, sailing or yacht racing, is where I find my greatest joy and recharge. These experiences, steeped in patience and strategy, enrich my professional life as well.

Finally, what’s your favorite part about living and working in Ventura County?

The community and the lifestyle here are unbeatable. Ventura County offers a unique blend of serene beach living and vibrant cultural experiences. It’s a place where luxury meets locality, where every day feels like a new opportunity to connect with the beauty around us. That’s something I try to share with every client, every day.
