As national vice president of Franchise Performance, Lee Ann Roughton has made a significant impact on advancing the ERA Real Estate brand. With over 25 years of industry experience, her comprehensive knowledge of real estate operations has enabled her to strategically leverage the ERA value proposition.

In 2023, Roughton facilitated several significant milestones for the brand amidst challenging market conditions, including reengaging with affiliates, navigating cash flow and focusing on growth initiatives involving mergers and acquisitions, supporting sales, talent attraction resources and proactive consolidation strategy.
