As ERA Central Realty Group looks to the future, it realizes the impact a healthy real estate market has on its community. An ethical, socially responsible company benefits not only its agents, but the community as a whole. With this in mind, ERA Central Realty Group maintains a focus on the local communities through volunteerism and fundraising. Since 2012, ERA Central Realty Group has raised over $30,000 for MDA and other local charities, and since it’s implementation, has awarded over $50,000 in scholarships through their EDGE Scholarship program.

As the company continues to grow, we stay true to our vision from the first day in business in 1986. In each decision, the leadership keeps that vision front of mind: “For us, it’s about supporting our agents and empowering them to achieve their personal goals,” said Bellanova.

Bordentown, NJ (August 30, 2017)—Stephanie Bellanova, Broker Associate and Partner of ERA Central Realty Group in Bordentown, NJ, recently attended ERA Real Estate’s 2017 Young Leaders Network Summer Summit, the 6th annual elite educational event, hosted in Columbia, South Carolina by ERA Wilder Realty. Attendees represented many of the most successful ERA organizations across the U.S.

Over the three-day long event August 2-4, Bellanova and 27 Young Leaders participated in team-building and professional development exercises centered around the theme of growth, from technological growth through the Zap platform, to social media and marketing growth, to the growth of recruitment and agent development programs.
In addition to the working seminars, attendees were also treated to a private session in the South Carolina State House, where they met with Governor Henry McMaster, who took the leaders through a history of his state as seen through the lens of real estate development.

“The best part of the Summer Summit, other than the chance to meet my peers from across the country, was being able to communicate directly with some of ERA’s top leaders and learn from their mistakes and successes on their path to growth,” Bellanova said. “It was an invaluable opportunity to learn about market expansion, digital innovation, and how ERA Central can grow as a company.”

The Young Leader’s Network was launched in 2011 as a way for ERA Real Estate to bring together ERA professionals showing highly-engaged and collaborative characteristics early in their careers, to further develop their leadership skills. The members are mostly made up of Gen Y or millennials who leverage this supportive community to discuss overcoming challenges and formulating business solutions. “This Young Leader’s Network Summer Summit was our sixth annual gathering, and it was more collaborative, innovative and meaningful than ever,” said Sue Yannaccone, President & Chief Executive Officer of ERA Real Estate. “Our Young Leaders are the future of this company and this industry, and it was inspiring to see them sharing knowledge, collaborating and breaking down siloes to make sure they all benefit from one another’s diverse set of experiences.

Awards May 10, 2017

Ann Davis inducted into ERA’s Hall of Fame!

April 2013, ERA Real Estate, a leading global real estate franchisor, recently inducted New Jersey business leader Ann Davis into the brand’s Hall of Fame. Davis is the founding owner and broker of ERA Central Realty Group in Cream Ridge, NJ. Established in 2013, the ERA Hall of Fame honors member companies and individuals who have consistently earned high levels of recognition and have made contributions with lasting impacts on the culture and history of the franchise system. The inductees were announced at the 2017 ERA International Business Conference in Dallas, Texas.

“Throughout her more than 30 years with ERA, Ann Davis has worked tirelessly to shape the future of our brand,” said Sue Yannaccone, president and CEO of ERA Real Estate. “Ann is the perfect addition to our Hall of Fame because her relentless focus on innovation, her thirst for knowledge and her ability to lead with superior execution, teamwork and kindness continues to help shape the future of our brand. I am very grateful that Ann’s expertise and collaborative spirit reside within ERA. She is a fantastic brand ambassador and excellent mentor to incoming ERA brokers and affiliated sales associates.”

With a love of real estate and a passion for education, Davis opened the doors to ERA Ann Davis; Associates in 1986. A trailblazer, Davis’s brokerage began with three real three real estate sales professionals and was owned and managed entirely by women in a time when real estate was still dominated by men. Davis had a unique vision that by fostering a culture of teamwork, education and shared expertise, she could guarantee success for her growing organization. This cooperative concept was a dramatic departure from the idea that competition was the key to success in real estate and it drove her decision to affiliate with ERA Real Estate.

“I was talking to several franchises at the time,” recalled Davis. “I was most interested in hearing about training and had the most robust focus on education; it still delivers on that. The brand’s values matched mine – a focus on learning and collaboration – so I signed on and never looked back.”

Built on her great reputation and work ethic, Davis’s firm has evolved to ERA Central Realty Group with five offices and more than 150 sales professionals. She uses ERA Real Estate programs and services to educate and inspire her real estate sales force and credits collaboration with fellow brokers for her success.

“I believe in a strong work ethic and rolling up my sleeves to help,” said Davis. “has great products and services however, without collaboration and sharing, you won’t know how to properly use them to drive your goal. We are not big enough as individuals to create what the network can create and accomplish collectively. You have to work together and we certainly do that at ERA.”

December 31, 2015 – Robbinsville, NJ –    With the upcoming opening of its fifth branch office at 20 Main Street in Robbinsville in January 2016, ERA Central Realty Group has come full circle, back to where it all began 30 years ago.

  In 1986, Ann Davis challenged two industry standards when she opened the doors of her real estate brokerage at 19 Main Street in Robbinsville, across the street from the newest location.

   In a field long dominated by men, Ann Davis & Associates was a brokerage owned and operated entirely by women.  Furthermore, the company was founded on Ann’s unique vision – that by fostering a culture of teamwork, education and shared expertise, she could guarantee success for her growing organization of real estate professionals and ensure a higher level of professionalism to their clients.

   This cooperative concept was a dramatic departure from the idea that competition was the key to success in real estate – and one that Ann Davis has stayed true to for her more than 30 years as a business owner and now trading as ERA Central Realty Group.

  Ann’s daughter and business partner, Stephanie Bellanova, says of the expansion, “Having an office once again on Main Street in Robbinsville is like coming home. Because we’re a family business, we consider our agents and our clients to be family. I am proud that the ERA Central brand is synonymous with a culture that promotes the utmost professional integrity. From the quality of the yard sign, to the level of client care given by our agents, to the spirit of giving in our communities, it’s only natural that ERA Central has come back to its roots in Robbinsville.”

While the name of the company has changed since 1986, the internal drivers have not, and ERA Central Realty Group continues to move the vision forward.

  Stronger now with partner Scott Lauri, Bellanova and Lauri have brought their own vision of change to the world of central New Jersey real estate. With their leadership, ERA Central continues to innovate on a local level with its work in marketing, training and successful implementation of technology – keeping pace with the modern agent as well as today’s real estate consumers.

Balance is key, and the company leaders partner with industry experts to maintain the cooperative culture at ERA Central Realty Group. In addition to the support of an in-house real estate instructor who offers continuing education, ERA Central has a marketing department and a technology team.

The philosophy of the leadership is that with a collaborative team, both agents and consumers benefit.  In Davis’ words, “We are a family.  Real estate agents are independent contractors so they may think, ‘I’m supposed to be independent,’ but in reality, real estate is interdependent. We rely on each other to achieve our successes.”

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
As ERA Central Realty Group looks to the future, it realizes the impact a healthy real estate market has on its community.  An ethical, socially responsible company benefits not only its agents, but the community as a whole.  With this in mind, ERA Central Realty Group maintains a focus on the local communities through volunteerism and fundraising. In 2015, ERA Central Realty Group raised over $26,000 for MDA and other local charities, and since it’s implementation, has awarded over $40,000 in scholarships through their EDGE Scholarship program.

Although the company continues to grow, it stays true to Ann’s vision from that first day in business. In each decision, the leadership keeps that vision front of mind: “For us, it’s about supporting our agents and empowering them to achieve their personal goals,” said Lauri.

MDA Summer Camp 2015 Sponsor Day

    WOW! What an AH-Mazing day we had at the MDA Summer Camp Sponsor Day at Happiness is Camping!

Every year for one full week, this amazing camp hosts kids with Muscular Dystrophy, for a week full of fun and safe outdoor activities, along with opportunities to engage in a variety of activities such as horseback riding, swimming, adaptive sports, arts and crafts, dances and much more.  MDA Camps allow these campers to stretch their comfort zones and grow independence and confidence as they spend a week away from home. It also allows the parents/caregivers a brief break from their roles and duties so they can rejuvenate themselves.

Through aggressive fundraising from MDA sponsors, such as ERA, this camp is absolutely free of charge for the camper and the return on investment is priceless! This year is the 60th anniversary that MDA has started this camp. It is an amazing experience for the campers, families, and volunteers.

For several years now, ERA Central has participated in this Sponsor Day Event.  Every year, sponsors are invited to come to camp and spend the day with this very special group of children. We did a tie dye pillowcase project with them and they thoroughly enjoyed it! The smiles! The laughs! We were all very touched by these kids! We can’t wait till next year to spend another day with them!
