PARSIPPANY, N.J. (Oct. 17, 2012) – Five ERA Real Estate sales professionals have been named to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals’ Inaugural Latino Real Estate Agents Top 250 list, including two in the top ten ranking.

“This is a prestigious honor not only for the named professionals but also for our ERA Real Estate family,” said Charlie Young, president and CEO of ERA Real Estate.  “We are proud that five members of our diverse network of brokers and agents have been acknowledged.  The designation speaks volumes about our focus on diversity.”

The list recognizes U.S. top-producing Latino residential real estate agents and is based on an analysis of local market Multiple Listing Service data in the nation’s key markets with a concentration of Hispanics and through self-nomination. The ranking focuses on transactions closed in 2011 and is the culmination of an evaluation of more than 10,000 agents and 100 self-nominated agents.

“Diversity is critical to a company’s success because diverse thinking and collaboration breed greater ideas, innovation and value to the people we serve,” said Young.  “Having a diverse network of brokers and agents enables our company to better meet the needs of our customers and enrich the lives of one another.”
