As a beginner, his brokerage didn&#8217;t have any training programs to help him&#8211;until he met someone who would shape his career for more than three decades: a bank mortgage professional who decided to train Robertson. He joined ERA Lorden &ndash; now ERA Real Estate Professionals in <span class=\"xn-location\">Ridgeland, Mississippi<\/span> &ndash; in the late 1980s as a trainer and hasn&#8217;t looked back since. In his first two years, Robertson helped grow the agency from eight agents to 55, offering weekly training classes. In 1994, ERA Real Estate made sure those weekly training sessions turned into trainings all over the country, and in 2016, Ervin began training nationally for ERA Real Estate. Now decades later, brokers and agents often cite his classes as the best they&#8217;ve ever attended.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Kathy Wilhelm<\/span>, ERA American Real Estate, <span class=\"xn-location\">Crestview, Florida<\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n<p>A 29-year veteran of the industry, <span class=\"xn-person\">Kathy Wilhelm<\/span> came very close to spending her life after college studying the behavior of hermit crabs. Luckily, Kathy&#8217;s father convinced her to follow him into real estate. Her parents decided to franchise with ERA Real Estate in 1986, and just three years later merged with ERA American Real Estate. Thanks in part to her success as an agent, Wilhelm&#8217;s office in <span class=\"xn-location\">Crestview<\/span> is the top performing office at ERA American Real Estate, closing <span class=\"xn-money\">$19.5M<\/span> in business through 119 transactions last year. <\/p>\n<p><b>ERA Dawson-Bradford Co., Brokers\/Owners Jon and <span class=\"xn-person\">Nancy Dawson<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Bangor, Maine<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Forty-four years ago, under the leadership of <span class=\"xn-person\">Jon and Nancy Dawson<\/span>, ERA Dawson-Bradford Co. opened its doors in <span class=\"xn-location\">Bangor, Maine<\/span>. In the time between 1974 and now, the pair have franchised with ERA Real Estate, grown their agency into the top performing brokerage in <span class=\"xn-location\">Bangor<\/span>, and had two daughters, Julie and Katie. It&#8217;s no coincidence the Dawson&#8217;s success in their modest market of <span class=\"xn-location\">Bangor<\/span> &ndash; 36,000 people in the city and 100,000 in the surrounding area &ndash; coincided with their joining the <i>ERA <\/i>system. &nbsp;Within three years of joining, ERA Dawson Bradford Co. Realtors was top of its market, a position they have held for more than three decades, winning a <span class=\"xn-person\">Jim Jackson<\/span> Memorial Award for 1<sup>st<\/sup> in Service along the way. Today, Jon and Nancy&#8217;s daughter, Julie, and her husband, Brian, own and operate the company carrying on the family tradition of excellent customer service and results in their local market. <\/p>\n<p><b><u>About ERA Real Estate<br \/><\/u><\/b><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.era.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><b>ERA<\/b>&nbsp;<b>Franchise<\/b>&nbsp;<b>Systems<\/b>&nbsp;<b>LLC<\/b>&nbsp;<\/a>(<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.era.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.ERA.com<\/a>) is a global leader in the residential real estate industry with more than 40 years of experience in developing consumer-oriented products and services, delivering value through innovation and collaboration.
