Era Real Estate Affiliates Form New Billion-dollar-plus Partnership In California

Real Estate Experts ERA Powered has entered into a strategic partnership with Legacy Real Estate & Associates, which will operate under the name Legacy Real Estate Experts ERA Powered, expanding its presence across the San Francisco Bay area.

The combined California organization includes more than 300 affiliated sales professionals operating across offices in Campbell, Fremont, Pleasanton and Livermore.

Brett Jennings founded Real Estate Experts ERA Powered in 2014 — growing business across residential and commercial segments and earning recognition from RealTrends Verified. The company recently reported nearly $675 million in annual volume.

“While scale was a factor, it ultimately came down to our shared values, common vision and commitment to serving clients and agents at the highest level,” said Jennings. “Legacy has built a remarkable reputation rooted in community and professionalism, which aligns deeply with our philosophy.

“We believe our role is to be trusted advisors, not salespeople, and together we can expand that across the West Coast.”

Legacy Real Estate & Associates, led by Bill Aboumrad, has also maintained a strong regional presence, consistently sitting around $1 billion in annual sales volume, RealTrends Verified data shows.

Aboumrad said the partnership is structured as a strategic collaboration rather than a traditional acquisition.

“This is a strategic, values-aligned partnership — not a traditional real estate acquisition,” he said. “Legacy isn’t changing who we are; we’re changing what’s possible. Most brokerages operate within one ecosystem, but this partnership allows us to bridge the best of multiple platforms.

“The result is a deeply aligned leadership team with a reach that spans well beyond the real estate industry, positioning us favorably for growth in the Bay Area and beyond.”

Beth Lazar joined Real Estate Experts ERA Powered in 2021 and oversees brand strategy and organizational development.

“What makes this partnership so exciting is not just what we’re building, but who we’re building it with,” she said. “We came together around shared values and a common mission – helping people create a better life through real estate — and together, we’re creating greater opportunities for the clients and agents we serve, grounded in true expertise.”
