CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate is proud to be named a top workplace in Iowa for 2021!

The Des Moines Register recognized various organizations in Iowa based entirely on surveys about the workplace completed by employees. CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate was ranked the No. 2 workplace out of all the ranking midsize businesses and No. 1 in the Agent/Brokerage category. This is our third year in a row ranking as a top workplace in Iowa!

What makes us a top workplace of 2021? 

Our team of 161 real estate agents and support staff are made up of energetic, positive and forward-thinking go-getters. Our relentless group believes we can accomplish more together than alone and always strives for the highest levels of professionalism.

“We think that our company, the people that are here…want to pull other people that are like-minded into our culture,” said Anna Culbertson, Director of Operations for C21SRE.

We attribute that positive mindset and focus on growth to the recent addition of 23 agents and four new staff members.

Another significant element of the company culture that differentiates C21® is the vein of philanthropy that runs through the agency. That’s why we’ve made it our purpose to inspire our agents to grow businesses that empower them to give back. Many members of our team have founded their own nonprofits or work closely with organizations that impact and elevate the lives of others. Our most recent endeavors include a coronavirus relief fund for local families impacted by job loss or financial hardship due to the pandemic.

Additionally, Orphans of Teso is a nonprofit founded by our two co-owners, Dylan De Bruin and Joe Schafbuch, to support vulnerable children in the Teso region of Uganda. Some of our agents sponsor children and have made trips to Uganda to visit the three established care points. 

I3 is another way our team gives back to our communities. Every quarter, our team has the option to donate to a new person or organization in need. Our agency accepts nominations for the recipients from our team members. It’s a personalized way for our agents and staff to be about more than sales and more than earnings. 

We look forward to continuing that in 2022!
