ERA Real Estate Fortifies Wisconsin Presence with Affiliation of MyPro Realty

Boutique Milwaukee brokerage strengthens brand connections in the Badger State

MADISON, N.J., Dec. 7 , 2021 — ERA® Real Estate, a global franchising leader within the Realogy family of brands, today announced the affiliation of ERA MyPro Realty in Wisconsin. Based in Brookfield, the firm serves the Greater Milwaukee area.

The company is led by Erik Ulvog, Jeff Kaus and Haley Burlage. Ulvog started his real estate career in 1997 and worked for both independent and franchised brokerages. In 2015, he earned his broker’s license, and founded myPro Realty just two years later in 2017. Kaus earned his real estate license in 2015 after retiring from a career in social work, was mentored by Ulvog and earned his broker’s license in 2018. Burlage began her real estate career as a transaction coordinator, joining Ulvog’s team in 2018 and earning her broker’s license in 2021.

Ulvog founded the company to fill a need in the market for a real estate solutions provider, particularly for homeowners who require a level of service that extend beyond a traditional real estate transaction. To assist these homeowners, the company connects clients to service providers to help maximize sales price.

The local economy is growing, supported by a number of large anchor companies headquartered in the area, including Harley-Davidson, Kohls Corporate, Northwestern Mutual Life and Rockwell Automation. Healthcare is another major economic driver, with more than 80,000 area residents employed by health-related companies. Residents take advantage of Lake Michigan, an extensive county parks system and a diverse entertainment scene ranging from fine arts to professional sports teams.

  • Recruiting performance-driven agents will be a main driver of growth for the firm. The leadership team’s complementary skillsets will attract a wide variety of agents including veteran agents, second career agents and new agents.
  • Team ERA University’s proven training and professional development courses will play a key role in increasing agent productivity.
  • The company also plans to leverage its affiliation to explore new growth opportunities such as extending its service area to the north toward Sheboygan and south toward Racine and Kenosha.
  • According to the National Association of REALTORS®, the median sales price in Brookfield is $370,000 while the median sales price in Milwaukee is $171,800.
  • According to Ulvog, the firm’s average sales price is in the $400,000 to $600,000 range.
