- Highly likely to recommend

Sold a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $200K in Tallahassee, FL.

Summary:

I recommend the people at Century 21 in Tallahassee. I sold my house and worked with their whole team. Joe Manausa put us on the right path to get sold fast, and Lindsey and Carol made everything flow so smoothly. I really appreciated their sound advice and we're now using their super website to help us buy our next home.More Less

- Highly likely to recommend

Sold a Single Family home in 2011 for approximately $375K in Tallahassee, FL.

Summary:

When I needed a Tallahassee real estate company to sell a home in Tallahassee, I immediately thought of Century 21 and Joe Manausa. My home was listed for sale on their website and was sold during a time where a lot more homes failed to sell than actually sold. I am free of my house and mortgage and strongly recommend Century 21 First Realty to anybody who wants to sell a home in Tallahassee, or buy a home in Tallahassee.More Less

- Highly likely to recommend

Sold a home in 2010.

Summary:

This is the way to sell a home today. All I can say is Joe Manausa told me our home would sell in 4 to 14 days, and boy was he right. More than 20 people looked at our home in the first week, it’s like everything we heard about it not being a seller’s market just wasn’t true. If I ever have to sell another home, it will be with Century 21 in Tallahassee.More Less

CENTURY 21 First Realty (2000 to Present Time)

* CENTURY 21 First Realty was formed in 2000 by a merger between First Realty of Tallahassee and CENTURY 21 Advanced Realty. The CENTURY 21 franchise offered a great opportunity for a company that already had clients in many other parts of the world. With a real estate support system recognized as the top in the industry, CENTURY 21 allows a company in a relatively small market operate as a power player in a worldwide market. There is no better affiliation for a company that exists to help people buy and sell real estate.

* First Realty and RE/MAX Realty North (1992-1999)

First Realty was formed when Joe determined that it was not beneficial to renew the franchise that the company had utilized for the previous six years.

Needing a stronger support system, particularly with the growth of the internet, Joe decided to "go independent" and take the time to examine all of the offerings in the real estate franchise business. While many "flavors" existed, Joe knew that the better companies would be embracing the internet as the new premier marketing medium in the real estate industry. After over a year of study, the choice of CENTURY 21 was easy to make.

* Killearn Sales Center (1991-1992)

When Joe left the Army in late 1991, he knew that he wanted to accomplish two important things:

1. Learn Sales

2. Stay close to home (Tallahassee)

He accepted a position as salesman at Killearn Sale Center and dove right in to the onsite sales operation. Joe learned sales and the real estate business by selling new construction homes and residential homesites for Killearn Sales Center in Killearn Lakes. By May of 1992, Joe had moved on to owning RE/MAX Realty North.
