All ERA INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION members have completed in-depth training, which helps to ensure their expertise in this niche market.

Q. When conducting a property search, the ERA INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION logo appears next to the properties; however, they vary in the colors gold, red and black. Why is there a difference?
A. All of the distinctive properties that are part of the Collection have unique variables related to their value that require different levels of attention. The gold icon indicates that the property is part of the International level of the Collection. These are homes and estates of true distinction, which naturally attract a national and international audience. The red icon signifies the Premier level, which are properties in the upper end of their local and regional markets. The black icon indicates that the home is historic, at least 50 years old with original historic integrity that has remained pure.

Q. Does the ERA INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION represent all of the distinguished properties that ERA has available?
A. Although the ERA INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION showcases many distinctive homes that are available, not all luxury homes are necessarily included. For a search of the entire ERA database, visit us at ERA.com, or contact a certified ERA INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION sales representative to discuss the availability of all luxury homes in your area.
