Lakeside Realty LLC announced recently that it will now operate as CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty, a real estate brokerage franchise affiliate of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. The company will serve the real estate needs of the Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties, from investment properties to commercial real estate and new construction.

“CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty demonstrates the success that can be achieved when executives lead by example and encourage their agents to make strong connections with their local communities,” says Rick Davidson, president and chief executive officer, Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “We are elated to welcome Lakeside Realty LLC to the CENTURY 21® System and look forward to seeing our collective strength in the tri-county area.”

Founded in 2009, owner George Berick has upwards of 25 years of real estate experience, and with a 3,000 square-foot headquarters and 63 independent affiliated sales associates, George has successfully established the firm as one of the largest independent companies south of Cleveland.

“At CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty, we’re traditional people driven by passion,” says George Berick, Owner, CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty. “As a locally owned and operated company that residents trust, we can compete with the big box REALTORS® through community loyalty.  With the shifting landscape of the home buying and selling market, our ties to the community will grow stronger by teaming with the most recognized name in real estate*, backed by its world-class technology and training.”

The community involvement of CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty goes well beyond the real estate market. The sales associates are involved in a number of wide-ranging philanthropies. In fact, in the next year, George plans to launch the Movin 4 Music Foundation, which will benefit the arts and music programs at local schools.

Like all firms in the CENTURY 21 Franchise System, CENTURY 21 Lakeside Realty is independently owned and operated, and will now share the market power and benefit of affiliation with the franchisor of the iconic CENTURY 21 brand.
