ERA American Real Estate turned a Blue Wahoos baseball game into a community celebration on June 4, bringing together more than 125 agents, staff and special guests for an evening at the ballpark.

• The local real estate company hosted its “Day at the Park” event during the Blue Wahoos game against the Columbus Clingstones as part of ERA Real Estate’s partnership with Major League Baseball. The brand supported 13 Minor League Baseball Day at the Parks events across the country in different markets. 

Blake Peters from Choctawhatchee High School’s baseball team threw out the first pitch to kick off the evening’s festivities.

“My customers have truly become friends, and this event gave me the perfect chance to show how much I appreciate them,” said Mark Gauthier, ERA American Real Estate agent. “Thanks to ERA American, I was able to invite them out for a fun day at the ballpark and connect in a way that goes beyond just business.”

The brokerage welcomed over 125 people including agents, staff, friends and families for an evening of fun, food and fireworks…along with hamburgers and hot dogs during the game.

Tony Lombardo, President and CEO of ERA American Real Estate, said the event reflected the company’s focus on personal relationships.

“At ERA American, we believe real estate is personal — it’s about people and relationships,” Lombardo said. “Events like this give our agents a chance to show appreciation to their customers while strengthening the culture that sets us apart. It also gives us the opportunity to show our appreciation for our agents and everything they do. It’s one more way we support them in building lasting businesses rooted in connection.”

The company leveraged the event to kick off a new campaign highlighting a standout statistic: 99.2% of ERA Real Estate customers would recommend the company to others.

• It’s a number the team is proud of and one that reinforces their message to the community to “Move Up to ERA,” according to Lombardo.

The evening concluded with a fireworks display sponsored by ERA American Real Estate, with the company’s name featured prominently in the show.

Lombardo added that events like the ‘Day at the Park’ help connect with the community and demonstrate the values behind ERA American Real Estate.
