Former Educator and 20-Year Real Estate Veteran Doubles Down on His Commitment to Service and Trust with Latest Affiliation
CLERMONT, Fla. (Nov. 12, 2025) – Century 21 Real Estate LLC, a global industry leader and the most recognized name in real estate*, is fortifying its brand’s presence in the Orlando Metropolitan area with the latest affiliation of Hancock Realty Group in Clermont.
The brokerage is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary of providing Lake County residents with professional, locally vetted residential and commercial real estate services. Original founder and current broker/owner Matthew L. Mobley brings over 20 years of real estate experience to the firm, as well as 24 years of experience living in the area. In that time, Mobley also worked in the Lake County school system as a teacher and coach, where he further developed personal relationships with many families in the area and reinforced his trusted reputation.
Now doing business as CENTURY 21 Hancock, Mobley and his independent sales professionals will have access to the CENTURY 21® brand’s world-class technology, marketing, lead generation, agent learning, and coaching. Hancock hopes to leverage these tools to enhance his brokerage’s productivity and service offerings, while also helping his independent agents bolster their books of business.
“I pursued this affiliation with the well-being of my agents and their clients at the top of mind,” said Mobley. “When I met with the CENTURY 21 team, they laid out exactly how the brand could help us better serve Lake County residents and how my agents would benefit from this affiliation. Our word is our bond and the CENTURY 21 brand has proven to have the same values as us at Hancock Realty Group. I truly appreciate the level of support, commitment to trust, and business development we are experiencing with the brand.”
Trust is one of the core tenets of the CENTURY 21 Hancock business philosophy, alongside productivity and top-of-the-line service. The firm is fully committed to every client it serves, often staying in touch with each one long after a transaction has finished. Their commitment to developing long-standing relationships through personal, constant communication has become a staple of the firm’s local identity, and Mobley now wants to enhance that reputation even further.
“One of the biggest value-adds of joining the CENTURY 21 network is the immediate boost to brand recognition,” said Mobley. “In Lake County, we’re already well-known for our business grit and our personable nature, but now, we feel it’s time to spread that reputation beyond our immediate community.”
Clermont is roughly 30 minutes west of Orlando proper, and it is currently the most populous city in Lake County. Clermont’s economy is defined by its wide array of healthcare facilities and medical providers, as well as its connections to the sports world, with many sports training and sports medicine facilities located nearby. The city was also designated as a “trail town” by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Florida Greenways and Trails System in 2018, thanks to its numerous parks, trails, hills, and lakes. Affectionately dubbed the “Choice of Champions,” Clermont is perfect for residents looking for a mix of business and recreation.
“It’s always exciting to welcome new faces to the CENTURY 21 family, especially in major markets like the Orlando area,” said Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “Matt has already done an excellent job at growing his personal brand throughout the city’s western suburbs, and we know we have the means to help him further penetrate the area’s greater market. With his background in sales and his local reputation with families in the area, we know it’s only a matter of time before his firm becomes one of the most well-regarded businesses in their corner of Central Florida.”
CENTURY 21 Hancock is looking for motivated and ambitious independent sales professionals to join their growing real estate company. Whether exploring a new professional opportunity or looking to elevate a long-lasting real estate business, new faces are welcome. Area residents who are looking to make a move in the future are encouraged to visit at 1010 East Avenue in Clermont, Florida 34711 or call 352-708-5650 to learn more about this opportunity.
