Okay, the big question every agent wants to know... do the agents get their commissions on pending transactions or have to wait for a judge to make the decision?

Century 21 Properties Plus

Reorganized and focused on giving Clients MORE

April 2010, Charleston, South Carolina -- A bankruptcy judge confirmed this week that Century 21 Properties Plus, a perennial top-5 company in the Charleston Real Estate market, had met all the requirements and conditions of its Chapter 11 Reorganization.

“This is a great day for our company, our agents, our employees, our clients and customers,” said Tim Rash Century 21 Properties Plus owner. “During these last 12 months, we have been able to meet our financial obligations and provide our agents with support and services so they can continue to give our customers and clients the attention, knowledge, and expertise needed to complete successful real estate transactions.”

Concerning the reorganization process, Rash said, “We were very fortunate to have anticipated a market slowdown in 2006 and took steps to scale back costs and modify our business model.”

Rash said his firm’s position as a leader in military and corporate relocation services helped Century 21 Properties Plus through the reorganization process. “Military personnel and key corporate employees relocate even in tough economic times and we are proud of their continued confidence in our services.”

Additionally, he said his company’s agents proved to be the difference in successfully emerging from the reorganization. “Our professional agents rolled up their sleeves and sold real estate.”

Century 21 Properties Plus is in great position to prosper moving forward.  “We have over 125 professional independent agents who are committed to offering clients exceptional service and are determined to lead Century 21 Properties Plus back to its previous impressive marketshare.

“I've always believed that our customers deserve, and will receive, the finest service ever offered by any real estate organization,” said Rash.  

“Now we will be able to re-focus and strengthen our efforts on recruiting and growth.”
