In Memoriam

Get to Know Me

 
Atria Real Estate and the Erdal Swartz Team is built upon the 30-year legacy of local real estate icon, Nil Erdal. Starting her career on a whim in 1987, Nil quickly rose to become one of the most respected, successful and talented realtors in Silicon Valley.
 
Setting up shop in her Sunnyvale office on Murphy Ave (at what was then Fox & Carskadon), she hit the pavement–often with two toddlers in tow–going door to door, meeting neighbors and investing in her community. Her genuine passion for helping people made her popular with clients and colleagues alike. In the late 1990’s Nil expanded her business to work with Eichler homes, where she played a pivotal role in increasing awareness of the architectural value, functionality and beauty of mid-century modern Eichler homes.
 
Nil received countless awards and was consistently ranked amongst the Top 1% of agents nationwide. Yet despite her busy schedule, she always made time to give back to the industry, sitting on panels and mentoring the next generation of Realtors. She was one of the rare people who truly knew how to balance work, friends and family, finding opportunity and positivity in any situation.
 
Nil retired in 2019, while her daughter Pelin and son-in-law Kevin, continued to carry on the family business, allowing her more time to travel and enjoy being a grandmother, a job she loved just as much as being a Realtor.
 
She continued to consult for the Team and follow the housing market, until her passing in 2021 from cancer.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

If your experience with home selling or buying has been stressful, you have been working with the wrong agents. Kevin Swartz and his team made the sale of our San Jose Eichler a pleasant (yep, i said it) experience and our faith in his expertise truly paid off.

— Kim & Jeff J.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

My husband and I had an excellent experience working with Kevin. We had an initial meeting with Kevin where he took the time to really understand our specific needs and helped to educate us on what to expect as we were first time home buyers in a highly competitive market.

— Elise & Dan B.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Kevin was fantastic — from beginning to end. He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. He is amazingly responsive. He listens and gives very good advice. I can’t say enough good things about this experience.
