PARSIPPANY, N.J., (January 24, 2006) – ERA Real Estate today announced that it has renewed its support of the National Trust for Historic Preservation through 2007. The two organizations will continue to collaborate on efforts to educate both real estate professionals and the public on the importance of preserving historic properties throughout the United States. ERA Real Estate, which first began supporting the National Trust in 2001, is the sole real estate industry associate for the nonprofit organization.

"We are proud to continue our work with the National Trust as we strive to educate our members and enlighten the public about significant issues that impact the preservation of our architectural heritage," said P.J. Martin Smith, senior vice president of marketing for ERA Franchise Systems LLC. "In fact, we believe this is such an important cause within our industry that we cosponsor a special training session and make it available to all professionals – not just ERAŽ members."

Working with the National Trust, ERA Real Estate will once again offer its Architecture in America: International Origins and Influence course, a public-private educational program offered to anyone interested in learning more about the history of architecture and the preservation of national landmarks. The eight-hour class offers a comprehensive look at the architectural styles of American design. The class also provides information on historic preservation legislation, ordinances, and criteria for listing a property on the National Register of Historic Places. Five sessions are scheduled for 2006 at locations across the country.

For real estate professionals, this course helps to strengthen their expertise and establish themselves as a historic property specialist. Sales associates who complete the course receive certification and a six-month National Trust membership, as well as information and materials to help them succeed within this niche market. Since 2000, nearly 1,000 ERA members have taken advantage of this opportunity to enhance their knowledge of historic properties and issues related to preservation. As a result, ERA Real Estate now has historic property specialists serving client needs throughout the country.
