The ERA brand recently celebrated the network’s continued expansion at Ignite 2022, its annual affiliated brokerage leadership conference held Oct. 12-14 in Miami, Fla.

During the conference, the ERA brand also announced its new wellness initiative, Prosper with Team ERA. This new multi-faceted program is designed to help affiliated brokers and agents prosper in all areas of life. Developed in partnership with wellness consultants, Prosper with Team ERA will offer insights and resources with the goal of helping real estate professionals make healthier decisions in their day-to-day work and life commitments. The program includes unique access to curated content, discounted group coaching programs and live webinars covering the topics of stress management, nutrition, exercise and sleep.
