MADISON, N.J., March 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ERA Real
Estate, a leading global real estate franchisor, has named Hunt
Real Estate ERA/ERA Key Realty Services, serving New York, Arizona, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Pennsylvania,
and Rhode Island, as its national
company of the year. The Gene Francis Memorial Award, given
annually by ERA Real Estate to its top all-around company, was
presented to Hunt Real Estate ERA/ERA Key Realty Services at the
2019 FUEL ERA® global conference, held March 19-22 in Las
Vegas, Nevada.
The award, named after ERA Real Estate co-founder Gene Francis,
is the highest honor given to an
ERA® company, and reflects the
qualities most respected throughout the global ERA system
and the real estate industry. Known for his forward-thinking
business acumen as well as his philanthropic spirit, Francis
established a defining culture of service to which all ERA
companies aspire. Factored into the award selection are: high
customer satisfaction ratings, strong brand engagement and use of
ERA resources, as well as sales and company growth.
Hunt Real Estate ERA has proudly closed well over 100,000
residential transactions since their 1911 founding, growing to
become a powerhouse in the ERA Franchise system. In early
2018 they announced their acquisition of ERA Key Realty Services,
creating a combined family of real estate brokerage companies that
now boast a strong foothold in New England and Upstate New York,
significantly expanding their reach and increasing options for
homebuyers and sellers, particularly in the Northeast. Between the
two companies, they now operate a combined 57 offices across seven
states with over 1,600 real estate professionals on their
team.
"The Gene Francis winner personifies the model ERA
company and Hunt Real Estate ERA/ERA Key Realty Services is no
exception," said Simon Chen,
President and CEO of ERA Real Estate. "Their consistently strong
sales numbers, dedication to growing their network and expanding
into new territories, and commitment to upholding the values of the
ERA brand and community with the highest levels of integrity
made the decision to highlight them as this year's winner an easy
one."
As Hunt continues into its second century of operation, the
company remains committed to its Western
New York roots while still providing exceptional service and
premium products to their customers under the leadership of
Peter Hunt, the company's chairman
and CEO. "It's an incredible honor to receive the Gene Francis
Award," said Hunt. "We are so fortunate to have such a devoted,
hardworking group of staff and independent licensed real estate
professionals, and it is their dedication to Hunt's continuous
growth, and to creating an encouraging, simplified and satisfying
home selling and buying experience for our customers that has led
to us being recognized today."
