Fifteen years ago this month, our Chairman Charles Tarbey purchased Century 21 Australia, which has grown into one of the largest real estate networks in the country. As such, I thought I'd publish our latest media release on this, with some guest blog comments from Charles himself!

"I bought Century 21 Australia in 1995 because I saw huge potential for this iconic global brand in the Australian market," said Century 21 Australia Owner and Chairman, Charles Tarbey.
"Century 21 has now grown into one of Australia's largest and most recognised real estate franchise networks, with hundreds of offices and thousands of agents spread widely across Australia."
Century 21 Australia is the only national real estate company that is 100 per cent web based, which allows the company and its network of agencies to access real-time data on the property market, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
This unique software system (developed in Australia) allows Century 21 agents to be constantly abreast of movements in the property market that may affect the sale or purchase of a dwelling.
"A lot has changed in fifteen years – technology, the state of the residential property market and property prices themselves," continued Charles Tarbey.
"What hasn't changed is Century 21 Australia's commitment to real estate expertise. Our aim has been, and always will be, to provide Australians with the expert, clear and accessible advice needed to make wise property decisions," concluded Charles Tarbey.
The period also witnessed Century 21 Australia's expansion into the mortgage sector with Century 21 Home Loans, a move aimed at giving buyers a much smoother property purchasing experience.
