About · Your guide

I help people move through change without losing themselves in it.

I'm Eri Bonilla — a Charlotte Realtor with a 25-year background in brand and design, and the founder of Haus of Sanctuary. I believe the spaces we live in shape the lives we live, and that a move should feel like an exhale, not a leap of faith.

Real estate, done the way I wished someone had done it for me — calm, honest, and unhurried.

After 25 years in brand and marketing — agency and corporate, in New York and beyond — I learned how much the feeling of a space shapes the people inside it. Then came my own season of profound change, the kind that rearranges what you thought you knew about home.

I built Haus of Sanctuary out of that. Not a louder version of real estate, but a quieter one: fewer listings flung at you, more genuine counsel; less urgency, more clarity. The kind of guidance I needed when everything was in motion.

Born in Santo Domingo, raised in New York City, now rooted in Charlotte — I move between worlds easily, and I help my clients do the same. Whether you're moving up, right-sizing, or starting over, my job is to make the trade-offs visible before you fall for a listing, so the home you choose is one you'll still love on an ordinary Tuesday.

I work with a small number of clients at a time, on purpose. It's the only way to give a move the attention it deserves.

What I believe

The principles behind every move

The life, then the house

You can renovate a kitchen; you can't change the street, the commute, or the pace of your block. We choose the life first — the house follows.

Honesty over the sale

I'll tell you when a home is the wrong fit, even when it costs me the commission. You're paying for the "no" as much as the "yes."

Calm is a strategy

The most expensive decisions happen under pressure. We plan when you're calm, then hold the line when the moment gets loud.

En Español
