As president and CEO of Anywhere Franchise Brands, Liz Gehringer oversees the strategic direction of an iconic portfolio including Coldwell Banker, CENTURY 21, Sotheby’s International Realty, Corcoran, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, and ERA. In 2025, Gehringer’s leadership was pivotal in guiding the global network comprised of 18,000 offices through a period of immense industry change. Her hands-on approach drove unprecedented franchisee engagement, evidenced by a near-perfect 99% renewal rate.
