Two established Atlanta metro-area real estate firms — ERA Foster & Bond and ERA Sunrise Realty — have merged, combining operations under a single brokerage that now includes more than 175 agents and six office locations.
The combined firm now has a Georgia footprint that extends across Atlanta, Canton, Duluth, Marietta, Milton, Athens and Savannah. The merged firm will be co-led by David Moody and Rusty Willis.
“When we first opened Foster & Bond, our mission was to foster relationships and build bonds that last far beyond a single transaction,” said Willis, an associate broker and co-owner. “Over the years, we’ve worked hard to create a collaborative, service-driven culture that truly puts people first. What excites me most about this merger is that we’re partnering with a team that shares those values to the core.”
Moody emphasized alignment between the two firms.
“When the conversation started with Rusty and his team, it became clear right away that we were aligned in both mindset and mission,” Moody said. “The ERA Foster & Bond team brings creativity, forward-thinking leadership, and a deep presence in Atlanta that complements our footprint across North Georgia. By uniting our brokerages, we’re combining strengths — not just operationally, but culturally.”
The newly formed brokerage will offer expanded services to home buyers, sellers and commercial real estate investors throughout the metro region.
According to the company, the merger is expected to increase access to specialized agents and deepen the firm’s market presence across key submarkets. Plans also include exploring additional merger and acquisition opportunities in the Atlanta area.
Agents with the firm will have access to new training programs, marketing support, technology tools and networking opportunities.
“At ERA Sunrise Realty, we’ve always believed in empowering our agents through training, technology and a sense of community,” Moody said. “Our goal has never been to be the biggest — it’s been to be the most trusted, the most reliable, and the most helpful in the markets we serve.”
ERA Real Estate — a subsidiary of Anywhere Real Estate — has a network of approximately 42,000 affiliated brokers and independent sales associates in roughly 2,400 U.S. offices and 39 other countries and territories.
