CENTURY 21 Quantum Realty aims to become a big part of Edmonton real estate
February 26, 2024, Edmonton – One of Edmonton’s top real estate agents has struck out on his own to helm the wheel at his own brokerage. Tushar Bhutani, formerly a RE/MAX agent, has opened the doors of CENTURY 21 Quantum Realty and has big plans for his new path as a brokerage owner.
“I have been in real estate since 2015 and also ranked as one of the top agents in Edmonton for the RE/MAX brand throughout my tenure with them since 2016 to 2023 until I decided to open up my own brokerage and transition myself into C21 brand,” says Tushar. When the time came for him to take his career in a new direction, CENTURY 21 Canada was top of mind and the support he received from the beginning played a large part in his decision to choose the legacy brand as his new home.
“They have such a strong brand presence throughout the province, and I was really impressed by the technology offered to agents to use in their business. The CENTURY 21 Canada team had such a quick response time when I first inquired about opening a C21 franchise, and the support from their management has remained strong to this day.”
Looking to the future, Tushar has big plans to grow his brokerage into a fixture in the Edmonton region. “I want to have the most agents, and the most deals,” he says. “In my past offices and when I was looking for brokerages to work with, I kept finding gaps, especially in supporting agents’ success. Now that I have my own office, I want to implement these systems that will help agents succeed, and I’ve had a great response so far. Now I want to continue this momentum.”
“Tushar has come in with so much enthusiasm and we want to help him every step of the way as he implements his big plans,” says Todd Shyiak, Executive Vice President of CENTURY 21 Canada. “We pride ourselves on standing out amongst Canadian real estate brands because of the level of support we provide our brokers, and they know that our entire head office team is ready to help them succeed.”
A big part of the agent success plan that Tushar envisions is a team atmosphere where every one of his agents can find support and prosper. “I want to hire a mix of new and experienced agents, so that those of different skill levels can find mentorship and support. By thinking of human support first and foremost for my agents, I am sure I will be able to make this office one of the most successful ones with the CENTURY 21 brand.”
CENTURY 21 Quantum Realty opened in December 2023 and already has 13 agents as part of their franchise. Additionally, Tushar Bhutani earned a CENTURION Producer award from the brand for the 2023 fiscal year.
Carl Oake Rotary Swim marks 38 years of a beloved Peterborough tradition
Peterborough, ON (March 2024) – For another year, the Peterborough YMCA hosted a beloved community tradition, the Carl Oake Rotary Swim. CENTURY 21 United Realty and the Peterborough Rotary Club brought the event to life, continuing a 38-year streak of supporting the local community and Easter Seals Canada.
Vanessa Oake Hogan, owner of CENTURY 21 United Realty, took up the mantle of pulling the event together from her father. “[Our Dad] put so much into this event every year, and he built so much momentum that it wouldn’t make sense not to carry it on. It’s great to see the ambassadors from the organizations where the money is donated come out to support the event, and it feels great for all of us to give back to the community.”
This year’s event saw 19 teams compete, including the Special Olympics swim team, which has been participating for five years. In addition to supporting Easter Seals Canada, the national charitable partner of CENTURY 21 Canada, the event raised funds for a literacy non-profit, Breakfast for Kids, and local homeless shelters.
“We’re a close community here in Peterborough, and it’s so important to our company that we support the people around us,” says Oake Hogan. To better include everyone who wanted to participate in the swim, this year saw the addition of the ‘Cannonball’ and the ‘Floating Catwalk’ challenge for anyone who could not join the swim or were supporting the event solo. “It was a great addition, I think it’s definitely something we would want to continue.”
One of this year’s supporters was the local lacrosse team, the CENTURY 21 Lakers, which CENTURY 21 United Realty has been a major sponsor of since 2014. The brokerage recently renewed their sponsorship for another three seasons. “This partnership made sense for a lot of reasons. One being community support and I think there is synergy in partnerships like this. The team benefits, our team benefits and I think the community benefits from this partnership (and) I know it’s valuable to our agents to see us being a part of the community this way.”
The Lakers donated $1000 towards this year’s Swim, and with the funds raised over the history of this event, the total has now reached over $1.4 million.
