ERA Real Estate has expanded its presence in Texas with the affiliation of Brawn Sterling Real Estate, a brokerage with 16 agents and nearly $26 million in sales volume.

With a population of 35,000, Midlothian serves as the center for the rapidly growing southern suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. According to Midlothian Economic Development, the area has doubled in population since 2010. It remains a highly desirable place for semi-rural living, business expansion and workforce development. Midlothian is home to a new Google data center, the research and development and manufacturing hub of the health and wellness brand, Sunrider Manufacturing, and the new Methodist Midlothian Medical Center, a five-story hospital with 80 beds.
Texada will leverage the ERA® training platform to help increase agent productivity, with a focus on generating listings and maximizing the ERA marketing and listing tools.
ERA’s product suite, including RealSure®, ERA Moves and the Buyer Follow Up program, will serve to differentiate the firm in the Midlothian market.
Texada started her career as a bankruptcy and foreclosure analyst before transitioning to real estate; financial counseling plays a central role in the firm’s value to clients.
The median sales price in the market is approximately $383,557.
Known for its highly diverse team, the firm serves a large percentage of clients relocating to the area for work, as well as move up buyers from Dallas-Fort Worth seeking more space outside of the city.
