Century 21 Real Estate Expands in North Texas With Latest Van Alstyne-Based Affiliation

Founded in 2022 by current broker/owner Billy Medlock, the company has quickly developed a reputation for its relationship-driven, team-oriented culture. Medlock, a seven-year real estate veteran and native Texan, also has leadership operations experience overseeing staffing and client relations, which helped prepare him to run his brokerage effectively and empower both clients and agents alike. Medlock has also launched multiple small businesses in the past, which further prepared him to take on the mantle of lead broker.

Serving residents throughout North Texas from its Van Alstyne-based headquarters, Crew Real Estate is able to assist with residential and commercial real estate needs, as well as with more specialized areas, including farm and ranch properties and land transactions. For many of the firm’s agents, their native Texan roots also help them connect potential clients with builders, inspectors, or other locally-based, real estate-adjacent professionals.

Now doing business as CENTURY 21 Crew, Medlock and the team will have access to the CENTURY 21® brand’s world-class technology, marketing, lead generation, agent learning, and coaching.

“I’m so excited to be part of the CENTURY 21 brand, particularly for the benefits that it will bring to our agents and clients,” said Medlock. “While growth is obviously a driving factor behind our reason for affiliating, I believe the brand can also significantly enhance what our current agents are capable of. Our company philosophy is rooted in the importance of uplifting our fellow agents and their clients, and the CENTURY 21 brand provides us with the tools to more effectively achieve that.”

As many of Medlock’s agents can attest, his growth aspirations never come at the expense of his existing agents or clients. Under his leadership, the firm has struck a delicate balance between continuously pushing forward and always giving agents and clients the time and resources they need to grow individually.

“The key to our success is being intentional about creating the best possible experience every single day,” said Medlock. “Although we obviously want to reach more people and welcome new faces into our business, every individual is still our priority. We want to build a real, human-centric business – not just chase transactions.&”

Located roughly 50 miles north of Dallas and just 15 minutes north of McKinney, Van Alstyne is a premier destination for buyers and sellers looking for small-town Texas charm, with convenient access to the perks of a major city. With continued residential growth, a rapidly expanding downtown shopping district, and access to some of the most trafficked highways in all of the Lone Star State, Van Alstyne continues to attract buyers seeking both space and accessibility.

“Billy and his agents have quickly built a business rooted in genuine relationship building, collaboration, and hometown community involvement,” said Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “Time and time again, Billy and his agents emphasize the importance of culture in everything they do, from serving clients to the way they support each other in the office. You can truly feel that they’re in this business for the right reasons, and I believe that makes them an outstanding addition to the CENTURY 21® network.”
