ERA® Real Estate Fortifies Atlanta Presence with Affiliation of ERA Foster & Bond

Boutique Firm Serving the “Grand Strand” Joins ERA^® Network

MADISON, N.J., Feb. 16, 2022 — ERA^® Real Estate, a global franchising leader within the Realogy family of brands, today announced the affiliation of ERA Real Estate Modo. The company is based in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and serves the “Grand Strand,” which consists of Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Litchfield and Pawleys Island.

Broker/Owner Brian Piercy started his real estate career in 2003, specializing in new development and oceanfront condominiums. In 2017, he established his brokerage, widely known for deep market knowledge and highly professional, career-minded real estate agents. The firm serves a wide variety of clients from permanent residents, including a significant pool of out-of-state retirees, second homeowners and vacation rental investors.

The coastal region of Myrtle Beach and the surrounding communities are attractive to retirees for the mild weather and low housing costs. It is also a popular second home and vacation rental property market. According to the U.S. Census, Myrtle Beach has experienced a 28 percent increase in population since 2010. In 2021, U.S. News and World Report ranked Myrtle Beach as the nation’s fastest-growing city.

A popular vacation destination, Myrtle Beach’s main economic drivers include tourism and hospitality. The area’s low income taxes and numerous incentives for growing companies make Myrtle Beach a great place to start a small business.

Details:

• Piercy was attracted to ERA’s talent attraction system and marketing as he intends to expand his company by adding more agents, who will be attracted by the company’s enhanced value proposition and access to national and international referral networks.
• Agents will benefit from ERA’s wide array of technology offerings to support increased productivity and client acquisition such as, the many learning courses available through the brand’s proven learning platform, Team ERA University.
• Agents will take advantage of ERA’s client experience programs such as ERA Moves, an automated platform offering discounts and a concierge service to use during the moving process, and the RealVitalize^® home improvement program, designed to offer home sellers improvement and repair resources prior to or during the home listing period with no up-front costs or interest charges.
• As the company expands, Piercy will look to open additional offices at the North and South end of the Grand Strand.
• According to the National Association of REALTORS^®, the median sales price in Myrtle Beach is $250,000. Myrtle Beach offers one of the lowest-priced coastal markets on the East Coast.
