Era

ERA Real Estate is a franchise network of independently owned and operated real estate offices, active across the United States and in select international markets. The company was founded in 1971 as Electronic Realty Associates, with an early focus on using technology to improve the real estate experience. One of its most notable milestones was the introduction of the first nationwide computerized listing system, which set the stage for the brand’s reputation as a technology leader in the industry.

Today, ERA operates as a subsidiary of Anywhere Real Estate Inc., a major global real estate services company. As of November 2025, the ERA network includes approximately 2,400 offices, reflecting steady growth in both established and emerging markets. Over the past five years, ERA has expanded its footprint by recruiting high-performing independent brokerages and investing in digital tools that help agents work more efficiently. The company’s approach has emphasized both organic growth and strategic partnerships, supporting its presence in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, ERA’s scale and brand recognition offer a broad referral network and a consistent presence in a wide range of markets. The brand’s commitment to technology and agent support has helped maintain its competitive position, while its affiliation with a global parent company adds further credibility. This combination of local expertise, adaptable formats, and ongoing investment in growth makes ERA a familiar and reliable name in the real estate landscape.
