Gus Grizzard purchases
the company and
establishes a unique vision
My dad wanted to provide his agents the latest training and technology
as the industry evolved. This led him to join ERA Real Estate, whose use
of the fax machine was cutting-edge technology in the 1970s.
I think you would agree that technology and Real Estate have come a
long way since then.
I purchased the company in 2007 during one of the worst housing
downturns in American history. Despite the economy, we continued to
grow by staying true to who we are – a team dedicated to
collaboration, innovation, and exceptional service.
Today, we’re proud to have grown into the top 1% of Real Estate
companies in the nation with offices serving all of Central Florida.
Since my dad founded the company in 1968, our priority
has remained the same – our relationships with our agents,
clients, and communities.
