Gloria Frazier, Broker/Founder, ERA American Real Estate, Shalimar, Florida

Gloria Frazier formed ERA American Real Estate in 1981 and continues to be one of the most influential real estate companies in the Northern Florida market. She’s a forward-thinking leader, real estate powerhouse, community champion and an influencer in the ERA network revolutionizing leadership, management and support. During her 30 plus years with ERA, so far, she has also been a driving force for the National Advisor Council (NAC), a group of select brokers who provide critical input and constructive review on various matters related to the continued success of the brand. 

Gloria has created a company built on opportunity. From her rockstar leadership team to her dedication to agent success, she has developed a company culture that feels like family. As a result of this approach, Gloria has acquired 14 residential sales and property management brokerages and integrated these seamlessly into her brokerage. 

She has also made a tremendous impact in her local community by serving in various leadership roles for several notable, local organizations, including the NWF State College Foundation Board of Directors and Past Chairman, President of the Economic Development Council of Okaloosa County and President of the Mental Health Association, among others.

I’m never satisfied with the status quo, which is why I’ve built a full-service company with the philosophy that every service we offer in-house is an opportunity to touch the agent, show value and make the brokerage indispensable. Our culture is a true example of what makes the ERA brand so unique. The ERA network’s collaborative spirit and dedication to pushing the industry forward has led to great success for not just for ERA American Real Estate, but for our agents’ businesses, as well.” – Gloria Frazier
