ERA’s Ecosystem, Designed For Success

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, it forced many to rethink their paths. For Claire Tan, a pause in her thriving beauty business became the catalyst for an extraordinary career pivot. Today, Claire is a celebrated real estate agent, ranked among the Top Achievers, a Rising Millionaire of 2024, and the winner of PropertyGuru’s reality TV show, Home Run. Her journey is inspiring—a testament to focus, discipline, and the pursuit of excellence.

Seizing Opportunity Amid Adversity

Before real estate, Claire was deeply focused in her beauty business. “I never imagined going into real estate full-time,” she recalls. Then came COVID-19. With the world slowing down, Claire pursued her RES papers. Initially, she saw real estate as a part-time venture, but the effort required to pass the papers sparked a realization. “After I realized how challenging the papers were, I didn’t want to waste my effort,” she shares. “So, I went full force into it.”

The Drive to Excel

Claire’s philosophy: “How we do anything is how we do everything.” When she committed to real estate, she gave it 200%. The industry’s complexity appealed to her curiosity, and she viewed her career as a game with milestones to conquer. “Focus and discipline are the two pillars of success,” she says. “Even when I’m not feeling my best, I show up and make things happen.”

Claire’s dedication paid off. In just two years, she became a Rising Millionaire and consistently a Top Achiever. Her crowning moment was winning PropertyGuru’s Home Run. “It was an eye-opening experience,” she says. “I stepped out of my comfort zone, upskilled, and formed beautiful friendships.” The show also boosted her career, with clients often recognizing her immediately.

Support and Mentorship

Claire credits her success to ERA’s supportive environment, which she describes as a crucial element in her journey. “ERA gives me a sense of home and belonging,” she says. “The people – agents, mentors, back-end staff – are always ready to help.” The company’s innovative tools, like SALES+, and consistent training provided her with a competitive edge, enabling her to deliver professional and reliable service to clients. “ERA’s ecosystem is designed for success,” she adds.

Claire has also embraced the role of mentorship, inspired by the support she received. Her mentees speak highly of her dedication. “Claire is an amazing mentor,” shares Agnes, one of her teammates. “She identifies my blind spots quickly and offers advice to refine my approach. Her experience and emotional intelligence have taught me invaluable negotiation and people skills.” Jadis adds, “Claire has been an incredible mentor since day one of my journey in real estate. She exudes confidence and provides invaluable pointers, always with unwavering promptness and support.”

Balancing Two Worlds

Juggling her roles as a business owner and agent was no small feat. Claire had to compartmentalize her schedule and strategize for the best results. “I redirected my company to save time while ensuring my real estate business delivered high ROI,” she explains. ERA’s resources, including an effective support team and mentorship, supported in maintaining this balance.

These interactions gave her life-changing perspectives and confidence. “My first few clients chose me for my sincerity and hunger to serve,” she recalls. “It reminded me that real estate is a people business. People buy from those they feel connected to.”

Claire’s advice: “Find a good-hearted and capable mentor, be humble, and get to work.” She encourages aspiring agents to see self-employment as an opportunity. “The sky’s the limit,” she says. “With grit and action, your hard work will make an impact.”
