Known for his forward-thinking business acumen as well as his philanthropic spirit, Francis established a defining culture of service to which all <i>ERA<\/i> companies aspire. Factored into the award selection are: high customer satisfaction ratings, strong brand engagement and use of <i>ERA <\/i>resources, and sales and company growth. <\/p>\n<p>From a bold beginning in 1982, ERA Brokers Consolidated has grown to become a powerhouse in the <i>ERA <\/i>Franchise system. Still headquartered at its original location in <span class=\"xn-location\">St. George<\/span>, the company has seen dramatic growth in recent years, adding over 200 new real estate independent sales associates in 2016-2017. &nbsp;The organization now operates eight offices across <span class=\"xn-location\">Utah<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Nevada<\/span>.
