ERA eyeing another 10 Asia-Pacific markets

PLANS are afoot to more than double ERA's presence in the Asia-Pacific from the current eight markets to 18 within three years, as the region remains primed for growth in real estate transactions.

The 10 new markets are Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Hong Kong, Macau and Papua New Guinea, said ERA Franchise System LLC president and chief executive Charlie Young.

ERA Franchise System is seeking out the right partners in these markets to develop the ERA brand, he told The Business Times on Thursday. He was in Singapore to discuss regional expansion strategies with key personnel helming ERA Asia-Pacific.
