February 18, 2025 // Franchising.com // MADISON, N.J. -- ERA Real Estate announced today its latest affiliation with ERA Property Elite that serves most of central and southern West Virginia.

Established in 2013, the firm is led by broker/owner, Craig Allison, and co-owner Chris Luzier. Allison is a West Virginia native who never strayed far from his hometown community in Kanawha Valley. After graduating from St. Albans High School, Allison began a career focused on customer service, first working at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield for several years and later opening his own local tanning salon. While running his salon, Allison honed his skills as a client-facing leader and was often recommended by clients to pursue real estate thanks to his natural ability to connect with others. In 2009, he took their advice and obtained his real estate license, eventually welcoming some of those same salon clients as agents at his new brokerage.

Joining Allison at the firm is Luzier, a successful attorney at a Charleston-based law firm who also grew up in West Virginia. One of Luzier’s areas of focus includes real estate, which he has leveraged not only to benefit his clients but also to guide and inform his peers at ERA Property Elite. Thanks to Luzier’s professional legal insight and the duo’s lifetimes of south-central West Virginia experience, the firm has been able to develop a glowing reputation amongst local residential buyers and sellers.

Now as part of the ERA® network, Allison, Luzier, and their full-service company’s affiliated agents will be able to utilize the brand’s tools and help leverage their marketing programs to connect buyers and sellers.

While the firm’s recent affiliation bolsters Allison and Luzier’s plans for growth, their client-first philosophy remains unchanged. The duo both have an in-depth understanding of their community’s values, trends, and culture and only want to welcome real estate professionals who share that same passion for their corner of West Virginia. Although the professionals at ERA Property Elite are constantly evolving alongside the ever changing real estate landscape, clients can be assured that they will always receive the quality assistance that the company is known for.

Based out of Charleston, the largest city in West Virginia and also the state capital, ERA Property Elite is located in one of the most desirable areas in the Mountain State. Sat on the banks of the Kanawha River, Charleston offers the typical outdoor beauty commonly found throughout the Appalachian Mountains, including plenty of fishing spots, hiking trails, and camp sites. As the home to the University of Charleston, much of the city’s economy and recreation is also driven by its identity as a college town, providing plenty of nightlife, restaurants, and sporting events.
