We welcome ERA Uruguay to our Team ERA global network of real estate professionals.”- Sherry Chris, president and CEO of ERA Real Estate.
The president of ERA Uruguay will be Wilder Ananikian, a seasoned real estate businessman with more than 30 years of brokerage expertise in the marketplaces of Montevideo and Punta del Este. The headquarters of ERA Uruguay are situated in Montevideo, the nation’s capital, in the Pocitos district.
According to Wilder, the franchise’s arrival into Uruguay presents an opportunity to seize control of a thriving market that offers numerous opportunities for growth and expansion. He expressed “We plan to capitalize on the growing awareness of the brand and its strong value proposition to develop an extended footprint across Uruguay. We are excited to be affiliated with a real estate brand that is committed to connecting dreams to owners.”
