ERA Absolute Realty recognized for its commitment to excellence Local real estate leader ERAAbsolute Realty in North Brunswick has earned the national "Commitment to Excellence" Award from ERA Franchise Systems LLC. The award was announced in March at the 2008 ERA International Business Conference in Orlando, Fla. The "Commitment to Excellence" Award recognizes ERA Real Estate affiliates that possess a commitment to meeting the needs of their customers, community, and the ERA brand. To receive this honor, ERA companies must meet a variety of criteria, including consistent participation in and support of ERA Mortgage, ERA Select Services programs, and the Muscular Dystrophy Association - the franchise's national charity - to demonstrate excellence, ethics and values. Additionally, companies are required to submit a written business plan and demonstrate profitability in an annual financial report. "Being recognized for our commitment to excellence is an honor and speaks very well of our entire team," said Scott Lauri, broker/owner. "Each member of our company embodies an unparalleled spirit of dedication to the ERA brand and its customers, and this award is a reflection of that commitment." The Lauri family founded ERAAbsolute Realty in 1998 and had six sales executives serving only Middlesex County. In 2001 the company brought on some additional executive staff with the additions of partners Scott Lauri and Arthur Lauri III. Now ERAAbsolute Realty has more than 30 sales executives and serves Middlesex, Mercer, Monmouth, Ocean and Somerset Counties.
