Stuart Scott Ltd. and ERA Shields Real Estate, two of Colorado Springs’ more well-known residential real estate companies, announced Monday they’re merging.

Both companies are headed by real estate veterans, who say the merger provides their like-minded firms with additional opportunities.

Stuart Scott, 63 and who’s been in real estate since 1972, started his local, independent brokerage in 1977. He specializes in the sale and marketing of high-end homes in the Colorado Springs area.

ERA Shields President Bill Hurt, 65, has been in real estate since 1978. He’s headed ERA Shields since 1996; it’s one of the area’s largest residential brokerages and is a franchise of ERA Real Estate, one of the nation’s biggest real estate companies. Hurt’s also the 2009-10 chairman of the Pikes Peak Association of Realtors.
