The movement, which has actually been in place for the previous 7 years, even all through the COVID-19 pandemic, has actually been a characteristic of ERA’s support for its representatives.

It has actually also resulted in a small reduction of around 300 representatives, primarily non-active or part-time sales assistants without any transactions in the recent year, states the business.

At the same time, ERA has actually attracted around 230 brand-new expert brokers that signed up with the agency on Jan 1, highlighting its ongoing attract energetic and aspiring realty representatives.
