ERA Real Estate Franchise

ERA Real Estate, a Anywhere Real Estate franchise, has been franchising since 1971 , currently with 2,000 total locations in the real estate sector, headquartered in NJ. Investment figures are not uniformly disclosed in the summary-level data shown above; prospective franchisees should request the full FDD for a complete Item 7 cost breakdown.

The brand charges 6.0% of gross sales in ongoing royalties with an additional 2.0% national advertising fund contribution, bringing the combined ongoing cost to 8.0% of every dollar in sales. ERA Real Estate does not include Item 19 financial performance data in its FDD -- a common choice, since the disclosure is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule. That shifts the diligence burden onto the buyer: survey existing franchisees via the Item 20 contact list, model unit economics from public comparables, and press for validated profit-and-loss figures before signing.

Unit count was essentially flat year-over-year here -- openings and closures roughly canceled out, which can hide meaningful churn underneath a stable headline total.
