The newly tapped ERA Real Estate<\/a> Chief Operating Officer Simon Chen says he loves the path his career has put him on. On his LinkedIn profile, he describes himself as \u201cleading innovation and growth where real estate and technology collide.\u201d And Sue Yannaccone, president and CEO of ERA, says \u201cChen is perfectly positioned to amplify our value proposition to ERA-affiliated brokers and agents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how he got here:<\/p>\n

\"\"Chen is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, and throughout the \u201990s and early 2000s he worked in roles that intersect business and technology\u2014largely in California\u2014with an emphasis on mergers and acquisitions. In 2002, he founded Century Pacific Group, a real estate investment<\/a> and technology consulting firm, and in 2011, he joined realtor<\/a>.com\u00ae, becoming senior director of corporate development and strategy. Then, in 2016, Chen was named COO of Realty ONE Group in Irvine, Calif., the fifth largest independent real estate brokerage in the U.S. He has also served as a mentor for two real estate technology incubators: the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae Second Century Ventures\u2019 REach program and Moderne Ventures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat has led me to this pivotal point as I join an innovative brand with the moxie and capabilities to move the needle not just for the brand but for an entire industry,\u201d says Chen.<\/p>\n

The move to bring Chen on board comes at a pivotal time when ERA is working on technical advancements and backend systems for its affiliates. He will oversee platforms and programs designed to enhance broker and agent productivity, build market share, and fuel business growth. This includes ERA\u2019s Zap platform\u2014a combination of consumer-facing websites and back-end CRM\u2014and the brand\u2019s training program. In an interview with REALTOR\u00ae Magazine last fall, Yannaccone, who previously served as COO before her promotion, said, \u201cWe need to be forward-thinking. I work very hard to encourage our team to be thinking about what\u2019s next \u2026 and to be creating with an eye to the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
