Liz Gehringer

Anywhere Franchise Brands

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. She spearheaded the delivery of critical resources, including financial M&A guidance, localized marketing assets and in-depth legal counsel to help affiliates navigate the post-NAR settlement landscape and the ongoing Clear Cooperation discourse.

A champion of ethical leadership and inclusive growth, Gehringer continues to lead the “Stop Hate in Real Estate” pledge and the Inclusive Ownership program, which has welcomed dozens of franchised companies since its inception. Her background as a former chief ethics and compliance officer remains a cornerstone of her management style, ensuring that the world’s largest franchise network operates with transparency and purpose.

“We all work best when we can share ideas that move the entire industry forward, together,” believes Gehringer, whose blend of legal acumen and empathetic leadership continues to elevate Anywhere as a proactive partner for brokers worldwide.
