I
It has been a year since I started with Century 21 Commonwealth. I am so happy that I was hired to work with this office. As a new agent I have learned and grown so much because of the people I work with. Everyone has been so helpful to me. I am looking forward to working here for many years to come! Cheryl Holmes / Watertown The 100 Days to Greatness program is great in that it provides insights to prospecting and gives structure and accountability to my efforts. I will take away valuable lessons in prospecting, setting goals and creating Clients for Life. I have measurable results to prove the program works —  with one deal closing before I will have completed the course and several others in the works. Michelle Lane / Wellesley I believe a top-notch graphic arts and design department is crucial to any growing business. I feel Commonwealth offers the marketing and public relations support required in an ever-growing and competitive marketplace. It has made all the difference to my public image and helping to keep my name in the forefront of buyers and sellers. Medea Palandjian / Watertown

I just had a C21 MA call late this afternoon that was AMAZING! Carolyn was the MA who I was working with and she gets it… Carolyn was a true marketing consultant in the way she walked me through my ideas and took the time to understand them as well as offering suggestions on what to do. I am actually excited about what she is setting up for my agent Facebook page by having the C21 Blog posted and, it gets updated on my page automatically. It may not be a whole lot of time savings to some, but for me to cut, copy, paste, check for updates, find relevant content, etc. to put on my agent Facebook page it is major time savings. My business page can be on autopilot with brand info that I am already talking about but now updates in the cloud. Saves me time for the more personal connections to establish with my personal Facebook page interactions as a referral/lead source.

CELEBRATING THREE DECADES OF CARING
For over 35 Years, the CENTURY 21速 System has been a proud philanthropic partner of Easter Seals. THE BROKERS, AGENTS and EMPLOYEES of CENTURY 21 have worked together to raise over $100 Million in support of
Easter Seals mission: to offer help & hope to children and adults living with disabilities, and the families who love them. EASTER SEALS THEN
EASTER SEALS TODAY
In 1907, Ohio-businessman Edgar Allen lost his son in a streetcar accident. The lack of adequate medical services available to save his son prompted Allen to sell his business and begin a fund-raising campaign to build a hospital in his hometown of Elyria, Ohio.
Easter Seals is the leading non-profit provider of services for individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, physical and mental disabilities, and other special needs. Easter Seals offers help, hope and answers to more than a million children and adults living with autism and other disabilities or special needs and their families each year. Services and support are provided through a network of more than 550 sites in the U.S., Canada, Australia and Mexico.
Through this new hospital, Allen was surprised to learn that children with disabilities were often hidden from public view. Inspired by this discovery, in 1919 Allen founded what became known as the National Society for Crippled Children, the first organization of its kind. In the spring of 1934, the organization launched its first Easter "seals" campaign to raise money for its services. To show their support, donors placed the seals on envelopes and letters. The lily -- a symbol of spring -- was officially incorporated as Easter Seals' logo in 1952 for its association with resurrection and new life and has appeared on each seal since.
Each center provides exceptional services that are individualized, innovative, family-focused and tailored to meet specific needs of the particular community served through programs focused on children, employment, adults and seniors.
The CENTURY 21 System & EASTER SEALS CENTURY 21® Offices throughout North America are involved locally with Easter Seals affiliates. Agents have personally met many of the children and adults they have helped support over the years at Easter Seals more than 550 facilities. Some of the initiatives the CENTURY 21 System is involved in include:
As one of Easter Seals single largest corporate sponsors, the CENTURY 21 System is proud of the long-standing relationship we have with Easter Seals. We are committed to continuing our philanthropic work with Easter Seals to help people with disabilities meet life’s challenges and achieve their personal goals.
Walk With Me – CENTURY 21 walkers have raised $2 Million by participating in fund raising and community building events to support the Easter Seals mission Closing Gifts for Kids – CENTURY 21 agents can elect to automatically donate a portion of each real estate transaction commission to Easter Seals Special Events– CENTURY 21 brokers and agents work together with Easter Seals affiliates to develop events involving the community throughout the year. Popular initiatives include golf tournaments, car raffles, auctions, comedy and casino nights, sports tournaments and dozens more. These events create team-building and neighborhood engagement opportunities for the CENTURY 21 System to give back to the community.
