## Story

The Real Estate Brokerage was founded in 2008 by Dustin Johns, who will now focus on sales and building out the combined operations’ commercial division. Johns’ team also brings deep experience in relocation and corporate disposition.

Founded in 2015 by Tim Williams, CENTURY 21 803 Realty has more than doubled in size since joining the brand in 2023, going from 40 agents and two offices to 100 agents and four offices.

The combined company now comprises five offices and close to 100 independent agents. Leveraging the CENTURY 21 brand’s robust suite of business-building tools, these agents will have access to state-of-the-art technology and an international network to complement their community connections and local market knowledge.

According to Williams, Broker of CENTURY 21 803 Realty, he and Johns have enjoyed a longstanding business friendship based on mutual respect. “When Dustin first approached me with an interest in joining forces, I knew there was a tremendous opportunity for growth in the region’s commercial market, while also creating efficiencies and synergies on the residential front. Dustin and his team have an expansive network and considerable influence thanks to their pure grit, which has resulted in selling over a billion dollars in real estate as an independent firm.

With the backing of a powerful brand, we’re excited to gain more market share in the Midlands.”

“I’m incredibly thrilled to team up with CENTURY 21 and CENTURY 21 803,” said Johns. “We’re excited to bring our team into an environment with cutting-edge technology, expanded support, and a brokerage that thinks as big as we do. My focus moving forward will be growing CENTURY 21 803’s commercial business and brand, expanding development and investment, services, and continuing to provide exceptional support to our team as we scale.

Most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to our clients, families, friends, and the real estate community. Your trust and support have made this journey possible, I’m just getting started.”
