About our Company: 

CENTURY 21 Beggins Enterprises owns and operates 5 offices surrounding Tampa Bay in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties and is ranked as the #1 selling firm in CENTURY 21’s North and Central Florida Region.  The Corporate Headquarters is in Apollo Beach.  The Apollo Beach office is the #1 selling office in the CENTURY 21 Region.  Our other locations are South Tampa, and Sun City Center in Hillsborough County and Indian Rocks Beach and Madeira Beach in Pinellas County. 

Our firm has over 200 associates and has worked diligently to master the core markets that we service.  We bill ourselves as “a special place operated by special people who do what they do in the best possible way”.  To this end each office has non-producing managers who recruit, train, and coach our agents to a high level of productivity and the Corporate office continuously provides training and administrative support for the managers and associates so that they can focus on the job of marketing real estate.  We offer daily Market Analysis for each office, monthly Sales School, Contract School and Productivity Schools as well as an enormous array of exceptional marketing promotions that have let us enjoy dominant market share, both listings and sales, in each market we serve. 

We pride ourselves on 5 distinct systems that differentiate us from our Competitors.  To explain these systems we use an acronym C A B E T.   

The C – Stands for Customer Care:  We use an automated system to capture, track, and disburse all leads.  The back bone of this system is our 10 minute return call policy.  This feature is quite impressive to customers, especially those who contact more than one agent and helps us be the company of choice. 

The A – stands for Advertising:  We’ve made the shift to on-line marketing and our listings are disbursed through numerous channels on the Internet, with enhanced presences on most all of the major websites, and each listing has Multiple photos and Virtual Tours. 

The B – stands for Boat Tours:  Since all 6 offices surround Tampa Bay, we’ve found that our Boat Tours show the lifestyle of Tampa Bay far better than any on-land tour. 

The E – stands for Experience:  We have a Service Guarantee whereby if after closings a customer is unhappy, we will pay them $300.  All we ask is that they tell us what we did wrong so we can work toward fixing it.   We also offer both Buyer and Seller Service Pledges. 

The T – stands for Training:  We’re quite proud of our reputation and the reputation of our agents.  To ensure this great reputation we offer an enormous amount of training.  From our Daily morning Training Classes to monthly, Sales Schools, Contract Schools, and Productivity Schools.  We feel our agents are the best trained in the industry.
