MADISON, N.J., (Jan. 7, 2022) — ERA^® Real Estate, a global franchising leader within the Realogy family of brands, today announced the affiliation of ERA Foster & Bond. Headquartered in Atlanta, the firm serves the Greater Atlanta market.

The company is led by Rusty Willis and David Wrenn. After nearly 14 years as a managing broker for a large brokerage in Atlanta, Willis joined Wrenn to open Capital City Realty in 2010 and served as qualifying broker.

With more than 242 officially defined neighborhoods, Atlanta offers many diverse living opportunities, from downtown city condos in the three high rise districts to medium- and low-density neighborhoods with single-family homes.
