Testimonials
"We were very happy with the professionalism and service from Wayne Stewart and also his team at Century 21. From the initial meeting with Wayne his honesty and assistance with getting our house on the market within the tight timeframe we had was a great effort. Our house sold after one preview and one open house. We certainly did not imagine selling on the first open house! Wayne successfully negotiated a selling price we were very happy with which we accepted and at this point has all been smooth sailing making for a very stress free house sale! ! I would have no hesitation in recommending Wayne and the team at Century 21." - Mr & Mrs Gudsell
