When I decided to sell my property in the Davilla area, I looked in my file at correspondence from area Realtors. I did not know any of them, but as a single, older adult not especially experienced in real estate transactions who did not live in the area, I was in a position of vulnerability. For that reason I eliminated the names of those who seemed to be independent agents. Since Bill was identified with a realty company I recognized, I called him and reached him on the first try…………Bill’s longevity and experience makes him extremely knowledgeable as a professional. But his highly regarded reputation as a Realtor was invaluable to me simply because I knew I could trust him. That reflects well on Century 21’s image also. I would have no hesitation about an enthusiastic recommendation for his work in your company, if asked. Barbara Holmes

This was one of the best experiences we have had with a real estate agency. Sue Ellen is the BEST! She was attentive to our needs and six months later is still helping us get settled. Debbie is so nice and the only receptionist who has offered hugs to potential clients and recent buyers. Everyone we met at the firm was genuinely friendly. They made us feel like friends rather than clients. Six months later Sue Ellen and Debbie are still concerned and attentive to our needs. Every business would benefit by studying your policies. Keep up the good work. Thanks for everything! Joe and Charlene Jarnagan
