We are so excited to welcome the newest members of TeamERA, Texas-based ERA StarCrest Realty! Based in Dallas/Ft. Worth and Houston, TX, the affiliation of the firm adds eight offices and nearly 50 agents to the ERA Real Estate network!

The firm, established in 2004, is led by Kevin and Anne Alaimo. Both owners have relevant experience in real estate, marketing and corporate learning.

“The affiliation of StarCrest Realty LLC not only strengthens ERA’s position in two key Texas markets, but leverages a community-focused firm committed to growth on multiple fronts,” said Sue Yannaccone, president and CEO of ERA Real Estate. “The company’s entire leadership team exemplifies ERA’s commitment to driving value to customers through unparalleled service, relentless innovation and a fierce determination to grow.”

Over the last decade, the brokerage has played a significant role in clearing distressed sales and positioning the Dallas/Ft. Worth and Houston markets for recovery. Since its founding, the company has handled nearly 9,000 distressed sales, and in 2015, it was responsible for $130 million in sales volume.

“Affiliating with ERA Real Estate provides an avenue to position the company for the future by diversifying our lines of business to fuel growth for the firm and our affiliated sales professionals,” said Kevin Alaimo. “In addition, we are looking to expand our service area through strategic mergers and acquisitions.”

“ERA’s comprehensive suite of marketing and technology platforms, coupled with best in class learning and development courses will provide our independent agents with ample opportunity to enhance their value proposition to clients and help increase their productivity,” said Anne Alaimo. “Additionally, these expanded offerings will create an attractive platform for talent attraction as we endeavor to increase our company’s size and scope.”

Congratulations to Anne, Kevin and the rest of the ERA StarCrest Realty team!
