February 22, 2022 // Franchising.com // MADISON, N.J. - ERA® Real Estate today announced the affiliation of ERA Real Estate Modo. The company is based in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and serves the “Grand Strand,” which consists of Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Surfside, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Litchfield and Pawleys Island.

Broker/Owner Brian Piercy started his real estate career in 2003, specializing in new development and oceanfront condominiums. In 2017, he established his brokerage, widely known for deep market knowledge and highly professional, career-minded real estate agents. The firm serves a wide variety of clients from permanent residents, including a significant pool of out-of-state retirees, second homeowners and vacation rental investors.

The coastal region of Myrtle Beach and the surrounding communities are attractive to retirees for the mild weather and low housing costs. It is also a popular second home and vacation rental property market. According to the U.S. Census, Myrtle Beach has experienced a 28 percent increase in population since 2010. In 2021, U.S. News and World Report ranked Myrtle Beach as the nation’s fastest-growing city.

A popular vacation destination, Myrtle Beach’s main economic drivers include tourism and hospitality. The area’s low income taxes and numerous incentives for growing companies make Myrtle Beach a great place to start a small business.
