Starting with six
agents in 2002, the Worcester office has grown rapidly to an office with
39 agents, 30 of which are full-time.
Now
one of the top agencies in the Worcester market, the strength of the
Worcester office is in residential re-sales, condo conversions and the sale
of multifamily homes. It also has agents trained to sell historic homes and
to serve the diverse urban community – including Hispanic, Albanian and gay
markets.
The Worcester office is
located in more than 4,000 square feet in a two-story brick office building
at 29 East Mountain St., an accessible location featuring an oversized
conference room that is used for everything from local training and
orientation programs for new agents to national speakers. With agents for
both buyers and sellers, and a mortgage company and law firm in the same
building, the Worcester office can serve as a one-stop location for both
home buyers and home sellers.
In spite of its growth, the
Worcester office still has room for additional agents. Anyone interested in
joining the growing Worcester office should contact Office Manager Mary
Tavolieri at 508-853-0964.
“It’s
appropriate that the Worcester office calls itself ‘Team ERA,’ because
that’s how business is done here. All of the agents work together. Other
agents are supportive of each other and cooperative and share valuable
feedback.” Tom Davis, ERA Key
agent since 2005
“I
came to ERA Key as a new agent in September of 2001. I chose this company
because of the training, technology advancement and agent support. The
management team is always available to answer questions, offer support and
encourage me in my real estate career.” Karen Dauderis, ERA
Key agent since 2001
