“For my entire real estate career, I have enjoyed working alongside [RPL] agents,” she says. “It feels like I have come home and I am happy to be a part of this large family.”

Erkkinen has earned the title of Multi Million Dollar Sales Producer and has received Rhode Island Monthly’s Top Real Estate Professional Award in the years 2012-2016.

“I have accumulated many years of invaluable experience, but I now feel I can offer my clients an even higher level of service,” she said. She cites RPL’s marketing & technology department as a resource she’s excited to utilize, and is amazed by what the company offers not only to its customers, but its agents as well.
