NEW BUSINESS: NEW REAL ESTATE COMPANY

A new real estate company has opened in Cape Girardeau.

ERA Realty Group, a full-service real estate company, has joined the ERA Franchise Systems Inc., a worldwide residential and estate brokerage network.

The new business is at 2131 William in the Heritage Plaza.

Glenn Dorsey, member and broker-owner, and his wife, Paula, both formerly of Cape Girardeau, have returned here from the Pensacola, Fla., area to open the new company.

The Dorseys attended Southeast Missouri State University before leaving the area to work in the real estate industry in Florida, where they became owners of a real estate company.

"We're excited about becoming a member of this growing community and the ERA system," said Dorsey. "ERA is an established franchise system with a proven track record for more than 25 years."

ERA Realty Group is an independently owned and operated member of ERA Franchise Systems. The ERA network has more than 2,600 independently owned and operated brokerage offices.
