Century prides itself in our use of technology to market your vacancy. This website alone utilizes a google map, inside picture, inside video, social networking links, a comparison list, and more to give prospeoctive residents more data than any other property management company in the city. As of May 2009, around 40% of our apartments were being leased from individuals finding us on the web and that number seems to be rising. Our leasing staff consists of professionally trained leasing agents, with additional agents added during the summer months to handle increased rental activity. Applicants are screened using credit reports, landlord references, verifying employment, and conducting a criminal background check. Our centralized approval process provides for better uniformity in screening applicants and reduces the risk of discrimination complaints.

Century Sales and Management did a great job in helping me fill my commercial building. Not only did they help to find tenants, they also helped me to understand how the lease would work, any potential issues that might arise, and the rate of return I would receive on my investment. I would highly recommend Century Sales & Management, LLC to any owner of commercial investment property who needs assistance in leasing their building.
