Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty in Caldwell, N.J. Celebrates Seventh Anniversary
Caldwell, N.J. (PRWEB) June 27, 2016 -- John Sass, broker/owner of Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty in Caldwell, N.J. is celebrating his seventh anniversary as agency owner on June 28, marking the milestone with pride and a shelf full of real estate industry awards.
The agency was founded in 1978; Sass bought it in 2009 and in his words, “brought it into the 21st century, with all the tools available from the Century 21 system.”
Prior to taking ownership of the Essex County agency, Sass, a New Jersey licensed real estate broker, had worked in other Century 21 offices in recruiting and training. That experience shows every day in the professional development Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty offers its real estate agents. All agents receive training in sales and customer care, writing contracts, and using the marketing tools provided by Century 21 to their clients’ advantage.
Sass said that Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty has experienced growth every year in the past seven years, with a management team that includes a director of career development and a sales manager. The agency started out with six people in 2009 and now has 58 who enjoy camaraderie and support in the office.
“Although we’ve grown, we operate like a big happy family,” said Sass. “We manage from the bottom up, which has created tremendous pride of ownership and longevity among our team. Everyone has a say in our operations and they all step up to take care of the little things that come up for each other. There’s no ‘that’s not my job’ here.”
That pride of ownership has led to increased business over the past seven years, with more clients and closings, and higher sales volume year over year, as well as many awards for Sass and his top agents for sales volume and customer service, from Century 21 and the New Jersey Association of REALTORS®. “We’ve won the Century 21 Quality Service Pinnacle Award every year since 2010,” said Sass, referring to the top honor given by the Century 21 system to leading agencies.
This year, Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty produced a new TV spot to run in local markets, and a new website was launched. It includes a blog with helpful information to home buyers and sellers, and a page dedicated to the luxury homes and estates the company represents in Essex and surrounding counties. Although a specialist in Essex County real estate, Century 21 Cedarcrest Realty’s agents sold homes in 47 towns last year, spanning northern New Jersey.
As he looks towards future growth, Sass said that, “I care about everyone as people and as professionals and that permeates throughout the entire company. Everyone has each other’s backs in here, which translates into better customer service out in the field.”
