CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate is proud to be named a top workplace in Iowa for 2022!

The Des Moines Register recognized various organizations in Iowa based entirely on surveys about the workplace completed by employees. CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate was ranked the No. 1 workplace out of all the ranking midsize businesses. This is our fourth year in a row ranking as a top workplace in Iowa!

Our Northeast Iowa team, based in Cedar Falls and Waverly, was also named a 2022 Employer of Choice by the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.

What makes us a top workplace of 2022? 

Our team of 175 real estate agents and support staff is made up of energetic, positive and forward-thinking go-getters. Our relentless group believes we can accomplish more together than alone and always strives for the highest levels of professionalism.

“It’s a pretty cool thing when work can shift from something we ‘have to do’ to something we ‘get to do.’ We ‘get to’ help our clients through one of the biggest transactions of their lives, we “get to” help agents build meaningful businesses, and we “get to” grow and have fun along the way,” said Dylan de Bruin, Broker-Owner of CENTURY 21 Signature Real Estate. “I’m proud of our team! And happy that I ‘get to’ work alongside them.”

We’re proud to continue to attract positive and relentless go-getters with the addition of more than 40 new agents and eight new staff members this year.

Another significant element of the company culture that differentiates C21® is the vein of philanthropy that runs through the agency. That’s why we’ve made it our purpose to inspire our agents to grow businesses that empower them to give back. Many members of our team have founded their own nonprofits or work closely with organizations that impact and elevate the lives of others. Our most recent endeavors include a coronavirus relief fund for local families impacted by job loss or financial hardship due to the pandemic.

Additionally, Orphans of Teso is a nonprofit founded by our two co-owners, Dylan De Bruin and Joe Schafbuch, to support vulnerable children in the Teso region of Uganda. Some of our agents sponsor children and have made trips to Uganda to visit the three established care points. 

I3 is another way our team gives back to our communities. Every quarter, our team has the option to donate to a new person or organization in need. Our agency accepts nominations for the recipients from our team members. It’s a personalized way for our agents and staff to be about more than sales and more than earnings. 

We look forward to continuing that in 2023!
