Boutique Missoula Brokerage Elevates Western Montana’s Real Estate Offerings with Latest Affiliation
MISSOULA, Mont. (June 13, 2024) – Century 21 Real Estate LLC., a global industry leader and the most recognized name in real estate*, is expanding the CENTURY 21® Brand’s presence in Western Montana with its latest affiliation of female-owned Peak Property Advisors based in Missoula.
The full-service boutique brokerage is owned and operated by Julie Anton, a 12-year real estate veteran who founded the firm in 2021. Although Anton’s company is only three years old, she has almost 20 years of experience as a business owner. Before making the jump to real estate, Anton operated an independent concierge business that worked with non-profit organizations to market athletic events. After moving to Missoula in 2012, she transitioned into real estate, where she quickly planted deep roots, built long-lasting relationships and earned accolades for her community involvement. Anton served as President of the Missoula Businesswomen’s Network, sat on its Board of Directors for multiple years, and was also named the Missoula Businesswoman of the Year in 2021.
Since founding her company, Anton and her affiliated agents have become a valuable source of residential and commercial properties expertise throughout Missoula County and the Bitterroot Valley.
Now doing business as CENTURY 21 Peak Properties, Anton and her team of relentless affiliated 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.
As a relatively small brokerage, Anton has already developed meticulous growth plans to slowly increase the size of her company, while ensuring that it maintains its boutique company culture. She currently plans to increase her agent count to 20-30 in the next two years, adding agents who have a deep understanding of the local community and its values.
“Affiliating with Century 21 Real Estate provides us with the incredible opportunity to expand our physical footprint and customer service capabilities, without sacrificing who we are as an individual company,” said Anton. “We’re as white glove as it gets, paying incredible attention to every detail of every deal and giving every client the ultimate personalized service. The CENTURY 21® brand allows us to keep operating in the way we know best while providing us with an internationally recognized name that can open new doors in new places.”
CENTURY 21 Peak Properties prides itself on its passion for client care excellence and its willingness to go above and beyond in every aspect of a transaction. As Anton herself says, “Offering professional advice is what pumps us up!”
“Our mission is to inspire a positive, lasting impact through extraordinary real estate experiences,” said Anton. “We take this mission to heart, and we obsess about every detail so that our clients don’t have to, and instead, they can benefit from a seamless real estate experience. We understand that buying or selling a property can be overwhelming, but with our dedication to our clients, we make the process as simple as possible – that’s why we say we represent real estate reimagined.”
CENTURY 21 Peak Properties also shares a similar level of commitment to community involvement. Every August, the firm hosts a client appreciation party with food, drink, music and games. This year was also the first of many “Pictures with Santa” events, which Anton plans to make a yearly tradition on top of the company’s annual contributions to local non-profits and other institutions.
Missoula is a city largely dependent on its sense of community. Nestled in the Northern Rockies of Montana, the area is surrounded by endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, which has earned it the nickname of the “Garden City.” Missoula is also home to the University of Montana, one of the area’s primary employers, as well as Montana’s Snowbowl, one of the premier skiing and snowboarding destinations in the state. These attractions as well as other recreational opportunities are some of the biggest reasons why Missoula is the second-most populated city in all of Montana.
“Montana is full of niche real estate opportunities that few know how to make the most of, which is a major testament to the abilities of Julie and her team,” said Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “Not only does Julie bring expertise from multiple industries which allowed her to quickly excel as the leader of her company, but she also displays a constant commitment to every client who comes to her for help. We’re honored to be the brand that can help remove some of the backend work from Julie’s plate, and let her focus more on what really matters – her clients.”
Anton and her team are looking for relentless sales professionals to join their growing real estate company and invite area residents seeking a new professional opportunity, or real estate agents looking for a new home, to visit them at 2300 Regent Street Suite 205 in Missoula, MT 59801 or call at 406.868.1839.
