Century 21 Sun Country Realty acquires Interlake Real Estate

Vancouver – May 1, 2026 – Brokerage owners Reg and Myrna Black of Century 21 Sun Country Realty Brokerage in Beausejour, MB, are thrilled to announce that they have acquired Interlake Real Estate which includes 2 brokers, 11 agents, 2 admin staff and the two offices in Selkirk and Gimli. Interlake Real Estate is a well-established brokerage in the Interlake area that was incorporated by Richard Arnason in 1964.

“Mr. Arnason created a very successful insurance and real estate office in Gimli” said

Reg Black, the Broker of Century 21 Sun Country Realty. “He sold the business a few

years ago and the insurance division is now known as Brio Insurance. The real estate

division will now be known as Century 21 Sun Country Realty.”

Century 21 Sun Country Realty originally started as an independent office in 1984. It became affiliated with CENTURY 21 Canada in 1997, and the Blacks have owned the company since August of 2005. Their office is located in Beausejour and has 13 agents that primarily serve Eastern Manitoba and Winnipeg.

“As a Brokerage, we are always looking for ways to grow our office. We have explored other acquisitions in the past, but this one really is a great fit. The agents from Interlake Real Estate are experienced professionals, the admin are fantastic and we look forward to working with all of them” offered Myrna.

The seed for an acquisition was planted a few years again when Reg contacted a representative of Access Credit Union when it acquired Interlake Real Estate through an amalgamation with Noventis Credit Union in the summer of 2022. “I just sent my contact a note and said if they would ever be looking to divest themselves of the real estate office to reach out. And here we are.”

The Blacks realize that the name change is significant. But they have experience on their side having experienced this firsthand when the independent office Reg was working for acquired a Century 21 franchise. “I lived through a brokerage name change so fully appreciate what the 13 agents of Interlake Real estate are having to go through. We will be collaborating with them to create awareness of the change throughout the region.”

All 13 agents made the choice to come onboard with CENTURY 21 Sun Country, which Reg attributes to the culture their office has worked so hard to build and the strong value proposition that CENTURY 21 Canada provides. “Besides the tools, they’re seeing that we are committed to upholding a culture that champions agents. Our priority is giving them a strong foundation of support so that they know we’re behind them every step of the way as they make this transition.”

Jared, their son and Associate Broker also offered that their goal was to make the transition as seamless as possible. “Other than the rebranding – nothing changes. We are keeping the office locations, fixtures, and equipment. We are keeping the same phone numbers. And most importantly – we are keeping all the agents and staff.”

Those agents and administrators now have access to the wealth of tools but more importantly, the power of the legacy brand, now celebrating it’s 50^th year. “CENTURY 21 Sun Country is going to be the best home for these new agents because of Reg, Myrna and Jared’s leadership,” says Todd Shyiak, Executive Vice President of CENTURY 21 Canada. ”They’re going to feel the personal support that is the trademark of all our brokers, and the power of our national network – from referrals to recognition, there’s so much we offer as one of the leading real estate brands worldwide, and we can’t wait to see how they chart this new chapter in their careers.

“The response we have received from everyone at Interlake – beyond the initial shock – has been very positive. They are excited to learn about everything we can offer to not only maintain their business but grow it,” said Reg. “Collectively we are local. And we will remain local. With our existing office and these two new locations all our agents will be able to help buyers and sellers in Selkirk, Interlake, Eastman, and Winnipeg with all their real estate needs. Really looking forward to this!.”
