The Women in Black

Thank you, readers of Orangeburg's The Times & Democrat newspaper, for voting us "Best of the Best - Real Estate Company", for the 12th time! Carol Riley was also voted "Best Real Estate Agent".
We have no idea who would've gained entry to Orangeburg's top commercial real estate agent's office after hours the night before his birthday and filled it to the brim with balloons. No. Idea. (But the initials C.A. come to mind for some reason). Happy Birthday, Cal!

Congratulations, Lauren Dawkins, for being appointed to the Board of Visitors of South Carolina State University.

 THE BIG C21AHUNA! CENTURY 21 The Moore Group achieved the largest increase in listings, January 2011 over January 2010 of all offices in the CENTURY 21® System in North and South Carolina. We get to display this awesome mosaic tile surfboard for a month. At right are lovely staff members Marsha Quay and Candice Day with the Big C21AHUNA, kicking off our Hawaiian-themed production contest for our Associates that ends on tax day, April 15, 2011. Both the winning and losing teams will enjoy a Luau at the Funny Farm when the contest is over, but the losing team has to clean up!
Associates and Staff participated in our annual company retreat in January 2011, held at the Funny Farm at Willington Lakes. John Carroll of Unlimited Performance was our speaker for the second year in a row, giving a very motivational presentation on achieving goals and being the best one can be in a Sales profession.
Three of our Sales Associates are members of the Columbia-area MLS ("Consolidated MLS"). They are Trilvia Hutto, Carol Riley and Lauren Dawkins. This area also includes Lexington County and Lake Murray. See our Property Search page to search for listings in that area.
The recession has hit Orangeburg's downtown businesses hard. See this article by Orangeburg's The Times and Democrat in which Cal Bruner, our Commercial expert, discusses some renewed interest in downtown and the advantages of locating there. The article also reveals what the Orangeburg Downtown Revitalization Association (DORA) is doing to aid and promote the downtown area. (Photo by Larry Hardy of the T&D).
CENTURY 21 The Moore Group purchased the Orangeburg operations of ERA Wilder Realty, Inc. in early January 2011. We gained nine Sales Associates, one staff member, and over 120 listings. "From a business model standpoint in terms of efficiency, having these agents join our firm will greatly increase our ability to give more exposure to properties and better service our clients," said Marion Moore, President of CENTURY 21 The Moore Group. Moore and Jeannine Kees, Vice President and Broker in Charge of CENTURY 21 The Moore Group, worked on the merger for several months, and the transition went smoothly. The St. Matthews Road Wilder office building will be leased or sold.
Sales Associates from ERA Wilder who joined the CENTURY 21 The Moore Group team were Manny Andre, Libby Bryant, George Corley, Regina Dukes, Tina Goddard, John Kneece, Janelle Mitchell, Sherry Newnam and Ann Young.
