Over the last two decades, Jonathan has been able to build a distinguished reputation amongst the buying and selling public, as well as within the close-knit community of local real estate professionals. Jonathan is known for his ability to transform a property in preparation for the market, and visually represent his clients' properties in such a way that "the story is effectively told" long before the prospective buyer ever sets foot in the home. This very focus led to longtime relationships with two highly regarded brokerage firms and built up to an exciting and pivotal pinnacle affiliation with CIRCLE Real Estate in 2021.
A symbiotic relationship, blending Jonathan's impeccable ability in preparing homes for the market, and CIRCLE's innovative and forward-thinking plan for presenting them. He holds an Indiana Real Estate Broker Associate license and is a proud 20-year member of the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors®, the Indiana Association of Realtors®, and the National Association of Realtors®. Jonathan also holds his American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and Accredited Staging Professionals (ASP) designations. His design work has won local, state, and national awards, and has been published in Indianapolis Monthly & Indianapolis Home on multiple occasions.
Jonathan grew up in Carmel, graduated from Carmel High School, and earned his degree in Architecture from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Prior to residential real estate, Jonathan worked as an intern-architect for Browning, Day, Mullins, Dierdorf, as well as, J.W. McQuiston Architecture + Interior Design. In his leisure time, Jonathan enjoys sampling Indy's best restaurants as a self-diagnosed "foodie", spending time with his family in Michigan and the Caribbean, and taking on residential design projects.
Mid-Century Modern enthusiasts, the Eriksen's currently reside in their fifth mid-mod, a 1960s Donald Fisher design outside the Devonshire area. The Eriksens are huge supporters of local arts, particularly involved in The Harrison Center for the Arts and First Friday events. Many local artists' work can be found in the Eriksen's gallery-like home. Jonathan is a community leader, serving as past-President of the Ivy Hills Residents' Association and the Greater Allisonville Community Council. Jonathan and his wife, Stephanie, attend College Park Church and are avid supporters of The Oaks Academy and Park Tudor School, where their (now-grown) children, Natalie and Henry, both attended.
