ERA REAL ESTATE NAMES 2020 AWARD WINNERS

ERA^® Real Estate, a global franchising leader within the Realogy family of brands, today announced its Circle of Success Award recipients, recognizing exemplary brokerages and affiliated agents for their exceptional performance, commitment to service and professional achievements. The announcement came during this week’s virtual FUEL ERA international conference.  

“While real estate is an inherently local business, the incredible accomplishments of our outstanding ERA^® brand companies and affiliated sales associates must be recognized at a national level in order to showcase their unparalleled dedication in guiding their clients through the biggest and most important purchase of their life,” said Sherry Chris, President and CEO of ERA Real Estate. “Their focus on the relationship rather than the transaction serves as a clear differentiator and distinguishes them from their competitors. These singular awards are supported by perhaps the most collaborative real estate network in the world. Behind every winner is a connected community of real estate professionals who make up Team ERA. We are so proud of our 2020 Circle of Success Award winners because they truly exemplify the spirit of the brand in their local markets and in the industry at large.”
