Female-Owned Coastal Firm Becomes the First Firm Affiliated with Century 21 Real Estate on the Long Beach Peninsula
LONG BEACH, Wash. (Nov. 12, 2024) – Century 21 Real Estate LLC., a global industry leader and the most recognized name in real estate*, is growing its network along the Pacific Coast with its latest affiliation of female-led Pacific Realty, based in Long Beach, Washington.
The boutique firm has served communities along the coast for roughly 50 years, most recently under the leadership of Leslie Brophy. Brophy joined the real estate industry in 1989 and has spent 34 years developing her astute knowledge of Washington’s coastal real estate market. She has also spent 15 of those years working on the Joint Pacific County Housing Authority Board of Commissioners, which has further helped her to develop connections throughout the area.
Under Brophy’s leadership, the firm and its independent sales professionals are able to provide full-service assistance to clients who are interested in the niche residential properties located along the Long Beach Peninsula. Some of the most popular properties that Brophy’s firm deals with are seasonal homes, retirement properties or vacation rentals.
Now doing business as CENTURY 21 Pacific Realty, Brophy and her driven independent sales professionals will have access to the CENTURY 21® brand’s world-class technology and marketing, lead generation, agent learning and coaching and innovative productivity platform to help deliver the highest quality of service to buyers, sellers and investors.
Brophy intends to leverage these systems and services to provide more robust marketing capabilities for her clients and their listings. She also plans to use her company’s newly enhanced name recognition and international network to help grow her existing sales professionals’ reach beyond their current market.
“We’ve been a staple of Long Beach real estate for as long as I can remember, but I believe it’s finally time to tap into a larger network,” said Brophy. “The CENTURY 21® brand has one of the largest networks out there. With the help of a brand like that, we can reach clients and other real estate professionals all over the world without ever needing to leave the downtown Long Beach office that we know and love.”
CENTURY 21 Pacific Realty has roots that run deep in the communities of the Long Beach Peninsula. Brophy and many of her independent sales professionals have a genuine passion for the area and its residents, which is what has motivated them to serve Long Beach for so long. They pride themselves on this love for their community, as well as their dedication to providing honest, well-informed information on the local market.
“We’re always happy to go above and beyond for our fellow Long Beach residents,” said Brophy. “We’re in the real estate business to help others above all else. Dollars and listings will always come and go, but every client we work with is a potential friend or neighbor that we want to develop long-lasting relationships with.”
Long Beach is located at the most Southwestern point of Washington State, roughly three hours from Seattle and two and a half from Portland. The area’s quiet coastal charm is a major draw for beach enthusiasts or those looking for a quaint lifestyle.. For those looking for a small-town feel within driving distance of both the ocean and one of the largest mountain ranges in the Western United States, the Long Beach Peninsula offers the perfect home.
“Whether it’s a market with a bustling city or a quiet beach town like Long Beach, we always look for brokers who fit the CENTURY 21® brand’s persona,” said Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “Leslie is the perfect example of that. She can attest to the importance of caring for your community first and offering a steady figure in a changing market, while also putting emphasis on the need to upgrade her services to better serve her clients. She highlights both the importance of community and continuity and of evolution and innovation. We are confident she’ll fit right into the CENTURY 21 family.”
Brophy is looking for relentless sales professionals to join her growing real estate company and invites area residents seeking a new professional opportunity, or real estate agents looking for a new home, to visit at 102 Bolstad Avenue East in Long Beach, WA 98631 or call at (360) 642-3127.
