Some partnerships feel new. This one feels like coming home.

ERA Live Moore is proud to welcome Blue Door Group Real Estate to our family. Moving forward, the firm will operate as Blue Door Group Real Estate, an ERA Live Moore Company. It keeps the local name its agents and clients in Greater Winston-Salem know and trust, now with the resources of the ERA Live Moore network behind it.

Where the story started

In 2016, Eb Moore hand-picked Jodi Tate to launch ERA Live Moore’s Winston-Salem office. He knew from the start that she hoped to build her own company one day. After significantly growing that office’s agent base, Jodi founded Blue Door Group in 2020, with Eb and Tania’s full support.

Blue Door Group quickly became an established name in the community. Jodi built a strong leadership team in Henry Beeson, Elizabeth Nance, Julie Campbell and Billy Bjorklund, all of whom put real weight on their connection with agents and with the community. Over time, Jodi also developed a specialty in new home development, bringing marketing and builder services expertise to small and mid-sized developers.

Why now

As the industry evolved and Winston-Salem kept growing, Jodi saw firsthand how much a small firm has to carry on its own. When Eb and Tania asked her about coming back, she saw the opportunity right away. Her agents gain the professional support and development that come with the ERA Live Moore brand. Jodi gains the chance to build a new builder services line of business for ERA Live Moore, drawing on the expertise she has spent years developing.

At the heart of it is a belief both companies have always shared. Agents are the backbone of a brokerage, and when they have the right culture, coaching, tools and resources behind them, they elevate both their own business and the way they serve their clients.

In their words

“It’s often said that for agents, real estate is a relationship business, but that also rings true for the relationships Eb and I have developed over our nearly 40 years in the business. Jodi is a perfect example of why being invested in people’s success, whether they are working for you or not, is an invaluable approach to sustaining a company for the long term. Jodi will play a critical role in ERA Live Moore’s continued expansion in the Carolinas and beyond and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome her back home.”

“The beauty of this renewed partnership is that we will continue to cultivate top tier talent with the unwavering support of a highly respected leadership team, complemented by an industry-leading product suite and technology stack. I’m excited for what’s to come as part of ERA Live Moore, not just here in Winston-Salem but throughout North and South Carolina and thrilled to be working with Tania and Eb once again.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ERA Live Moore Doubles Down on Winston Salem with Strategic Acquisition

Addition of Blue Door Group Real Estate Increases Firm’s Market Share in a Growing Region WINSTON SALEM, N.C. (Oct. 27, 2026) — ERA Live Moore, one of the Carolinas’ premier real estate brokerages, today announced the acquisition of Blue Door Group Real Estate, a respected and established local firm serving the Greater Winston Salem market. Moving forward, the brokerage will operate as Blue Door Group Real Estate, an ERA Live Moore Company, preserving its trusted local identity while connecting agents and clients to the expanded resources of the ERA Live Moore network.

Blue Door Group Real Estate was founded in 2020 by Jodi Tate, who is no stranger to ERA Live Moore: in 2016, ERA Live Moore owner Eb hand-picked her to launch their Winston Salem office, knowing that one day she wanted to establish her own company. After significantly expanding the ERA office’s agent base, she started Blue Door group in 2020 with Eb and Tania’s full support. The firm quickly became an established player in the community with a talented leadership team comprised of Henry Beeson, Elizabeth Nance, Julie Campbell and Billy Bjorklund, who all embrace the importance of connection with their agents and their community. Over the next few years, Jodi developed a specialty in new home development, offering expertise in marketing and builder services to small to medium sized developers.

As the real estate industry evolved and the Winston Salem market continued to expand, Jodi recognized the challenges of running a small firm. When Eb and Tania approached her about coming back to the ERA Live Moore company, Jodi saw tremendous potential. Her agents would gain a competitive edge by leveraging the brand’s robust professional support and development offerings, and she would have the opportunity to build and scale a new line of business for ERA Live Moore with her builder services expertise.

This new relationship reunites two organizations with a shared brokerage business philosophy: agents are the backbone of the brokerage and when they are supported by the right culture, coaching, tools and resources, they can elevate both their own business and their service to clients.

“It’s often said that for agents, real estate is a relationship business, but that also rings true for the relationships Eb and I have developed over our nearly 40 years in the business. Jodi is a perfect example of why being invested in people’s success – whether they are working for you or not – is an invaluable approach to sustaining a company for the long term. Jodi will play a critical role in ERA Live Moore’s continued expansion in the Carolinas and beyond and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome her back home.”
