PARSIPPANY, N.J. (September 14, 2009) – ERA Franchise Systems LLC, a global leader in the real estate industry, was one of only three real estate brands named to the World Franchising Network’s 2009 list of “Top 100 Franchises.”

“This award reflects the strength and value of the ERA® brand,” said Charlie Young, president and chief executive officer, ERA Franchise Systems LLC. “The ERA network gives current team members and promises prospective affiliates the competitive advantages you would expect from a globally recognized brand.”

The World Franchising Network develops its annual list of Top 100 Franchises based on a rigorous analysis of several factors, including historical performance, brand identification, franchisee satisfaction, training, on-going support, financial stability and other key variables. The results will be published in Bond’s Top 100 Franchises, which is scheduled to be published by Aug. 31. A list of the companies selected for inclusion can be found here.

“We are extremely pleased with the industry-leading franchisors that we have chosen for this year’s Bond’s Top 100 Franchises. While selection in no way reduces the need for exhaustive due diligence on the part of the investor, it is, nevertheless, a logical starting point in their search for a solid and supportive franchise system,” said Rob Bond, president of the World Franchising Network.
