The Century 21 Brand Expands Its New York City Metropolitan Area Network With Teaneck-Based Public Trust Realty Group

The firm was established in 2007 by current broker/owner Arun P. Thomas. Thomas joined the real estate industry in 1994, beginning his career with another New Jersey-based CENTURY 21® affiliated real estate office. After learning the business with the CENTURY 21 brand, Thomas became a licensed broker and later launched his own company while continuing to work as a producing agent.

Thomas grew his start-up firm from four agents to more than 50 licensed real estate professionals. As a producing agent, he earned multiple NJ REALTORS® Circle of Excellence Sales Awards. Arun is also a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist and has earned recognition from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing for his experience and performance in the luxury residential real estate market.

Today, CENTURY 21 Prime Homes provides residential real estate services in New Jersey, including luxury and investment properties, and commercial real estate, as well as short sales and foreclosed properties. The firm also has experience assisting clients with relocation throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

As part of Century 21 Real Estate, Thomas and his independent sales professionals will have access to the CENTURY 21® brand’s world-class technology, marketing, lead generation, agent learning, and coaching. Thomas is already familiar with the capabilities of these services thanks to his previous experience with the brand, and he plans to quickly introduce his independent sales professionals to the new opportunities available to them.

Specifically, Thomas plans to broaden his firm’s referral network through the global recognition of the CENTURY 21 brand while leveraging enhanced training, marketing, and business-building tools. With these additional resources, the company plans to pursue continued growth throughout New Jersey while recruiting both new and experienced real estate professionals.

“Joining the CENTURY 21® brand is an exciting new chapter for our company,” said Thomas. “It brings together the local reputation, relationships, and experience we have built over the years with the strength, technology, marketing, and global reach of one of the most recognized names in real estate. I believe this affiliation will create tremendous opportunities for our agents, provide even greater value to our clients, and position CENTURY 21 Prime Homes for strong long-term growth.”

Though the firm is adopting a new name, it will continue to maintain the philosophy that has guided the company for nearly 20 years. The firm is defined by its local roots and knowledge, supported by personalized service centered on accountability, integrity, and diligence.

“Being a real estate professional means more than simply selling homes,” said Thomas. “It’s about guiding families, helping them achieve their hopes and dreams, and building relationships. Our name may be new, but our clients can be assured that we will continue to always go the extra mile to make their experience the best it can be.”

Located in Teaneck, just minutes from the George Washington Bridge and approximately ten miles from Midtown Manhattan, CENTURY 21 Prime Homes serves one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the country. The firm’s region of New Jersey offers a unique combination of New York City accessibility and suburban living, with extensive transportation options, major employment centers, diverse communities, and a wide variety of housing opportunities.

“It goes without saying that the North Jersey and Greater New York City market is home to some of the most valuable properties in the country,” said Mike Miedler, President and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “To continue to expand our presence in such a valuable market is incredibly important for the brand, and that’s why we only trust the best to help us achieve that expansion. Arun has proven himself to not only understand the business, but also the people and communities he serves.

We’re excited to help provide him and his agents with the tools they need to continue growing their presence right here in the backyard of the CENTURY 21 Real Estate headquarters.”
