ERA® Real Estate was the first national real estate company to utilize modern technology to foster more successful real estate relationships. For over 30 years, we have provided the technological tools that can make you more productive, open new opportunities, and provide better ways to buy and sell houses. For instance, we were the first real estate franchise system to implement a nationwide referral and relocation system (1972), the first to expand outside of North America (1981), and the first to utilize an online service to gain reach and exposure for real estate sales (1995).

With the vision of a "one-time" data entry system, ERA Real Estate maintains the distinction, consistent with our heritage, of developing and supplying cutting-edge technology. By offering powerful software, affordable hardware, satellite training, on-going support as well as our Internet and Intranet sites, ERA is committed to increasing your productivity while allowing you to contain expenses.

ERA.com: The ERA Internet site features over 54,000 listings (Over 65 percent have photos attached) and generates over 11 million page views per month. Our Internet site offers a powerful and unique way for sellers to showcase their homes and for buyers to find the perfect house. ERA.com also offers our sales associates and offices at no additional cost the unique opportunity to introduce themselves to consumers with ERA.com custom profile pages.

ERA® Real Estate has a history of offering unique programs that are designed to rank ERA first in customer satisfaction. In fact, more than 9 out of 10 customers who bought or sold a house through an ERA sales associate are so pleased with their experience that they would choose or recommend an ERA member again. These programs provide sales associates with a competitive listing and selling advantage.

ERA Home Protection Plans: We understand the need to offer special protection for homebuyers and sellers. That's why we were the first real estate franchise to offer a national home warranty plan. The ERA Home Protection Plans have since provided millions of buyers and sellers peace of mind when they need it most. The Home Protection Plans cover many of the built-in appliances and systems in a house — both while it is listed and for one full year after the sale.*

ERA® Seller's Security® Plan: The strongest guarantee in real estate — "We Will Sell Your House, Or ERA® Will Buy It!" This is a combination equity advance and guaranteed sale plan that provides sellers with the piece-of-mind of knowing that their houses will sell. ERA is the only franchise in the industry to offer this.

The ANSWERS® Book: Addresses 90 of the most frequently asked questions by buyers & sellers and is a proven tool for increasing awareness levels and generating leads for ERA Members. ANSWERS® is supported by national advertising and has been requested by more than 500,000 prospects, free of charge, via our toll-free hotline.
