CENTURY 21 AND THE WINTER OLYMPICS

Like almost everyone I enjoyed watching the 2014 Winter Olympics.  I was proud when watching knowing that C21 sponsored the USA Bobsled and Skeleton teams.  

Century 21 Real Estate LLC  had three new 30 second commercials.  Focusing on the consumer and the Century 21 agent.  I feel that it is so important to be associated with a franchise that supports its members, and Century 21 goes above and beyond for its agents.  We should all be proud of our brand and the presence that we have in the marketplace.

We should also be very proud of the USA Bobsled and Skeleton Teams. The women bobsled team won silver and bronze and the men took home the bronze.  The skeleton women won silver and the men with bronze.  Congratulations for a job well done.
