Family-Owned 40-Year-Old Firm Joins the International Brand to Provide Residents of Sanpete County with Enhanced Real Estate Services
EPHRAIM, Utah (Jan. 13, 2025) – Century 21 Real Estate LLC., a global industry leader and the most recognized name in real estate*, is expanding its presence to central Utah with its latest affiliation of female-led Sanpete Valley Realty based in Ephraim.
The firm was founded in 1983 by Theresa Alder, the mother of the current principal broker, Tiffany Alder-Bown. Tiffany graduated from Snow College and Southern Utah University before joining the family business in 2006. Seven years later, Tiffany obtained her broker’s license and began transitioning into a leadership role alongside her mother, before fully taking over the firm. Today, Tiffany leads by the golden rule of “treating others the way you want to be treated,” which has earned her a glowing reputation among her clients and agents, and has also helped her to earn the title of 2024 Best Real Estate Agent from the Daily Herald of Utah Valley.
Under Tiffany’s leadership, the firm has developed a reputation for its ability to assist residents across Sanpete County with their residential needs and lot and land deals. The company’s consistent performance has also earned recognition from the Daily Herald of Utah Valley as the 2024 Best Real Estate Team.
Now doing business as CENTURY 21 Essentials Realty, Tiffany 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.
Tiffany plans to quickly implement the CENTURY 21 brand’s robust technology stack and introduce a more formalized onboarding process that will provide her with more bandwidth to focus on company growth. With this additional bandwidth, Tiffany hopes to double her company size post-affiliation and wants to open a new office in northern Sanpete County, before looking into further geographic expansion via mergers and acquisitions.
“I grew up in and around the real estate industry, so I love being on the ground floor of the day-to-day activities,” said Tiffany. “However, I realize that in order for the firm to grow, I need to start taking on more of a mentor and office manager role, which I can only do with more streamlined tools and processes than what we currently have. The CENTURY 21® brand can provide exactly that. With the assistance of the brand, we now have easier access to a more sustainable business model that will allow me to commit further to our clients, our independent sales professionals and the growth of our company.”
The family company has been able to stand the test of time for the past 40 years thanks to its emphasis on hometown values and its willingness to fully invest in every client transaction. With several Sanpete Valley natives working at the firm, the CENTURY 21 Essentials Realty independent sales professionals understand the region’s unique draws, everchanging trends and community culture.
“We’re fully tapped into the lifestyles of the people we get to serve, and I think it’s our ability to put ourselves in their shoes that really lets us shine,” said Tiffany. “We always strive to the best of the best, and in order to do that, it means learning every person’s unique wants and needs and understanding how exactly we can help them accomplish what they want to do. When we’re able to develop a friendship that lasts beyond the transaction process, that’s how we know we’ve succeeded.”
Ephraim is a small-town community defined by its connection to the nearby Manti-La National Forest and the two nearby universities. Located just under two hours south of Salt Lake City, Ephraim itself offers a quiet, suburban feel with a cost of living well below national average. The area’s affordability, and ample access to outdoor recreation makes it an attractive destination for potential homebuyers looking for a slower-paced, yet vibrant lifestyle.
“Century 21 Real Estate is a name that can be recognized by any generation of real estate professional, which makes it extra special when we get to support a family-owned business with roots that go back almost as far as our own,” said Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “Tiffany has done an excellent job at transitioning her mother’s company into the modern era of real estate and her decision to affiliate is just the latest move she’s made to continue driving the company forward. We can’t wait to provide Tiffany and her independent sales professionals with the latest industry tools and technology to help her tackle new goals and reach new heights.”
Tiffany is looking for ambitious 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 415 South Main in Ephraim 84627 or call (435) 851-0471.
