Century 21 expands with affiliation on Oregon coast

Century 21 Real Estate has added Shorepine Properties in Pacific City, Oregon, to its network — strengthening the brand’s presence in the state’s Central Coast region.

Broker/owner Becky Kirkendall has led Shorepine Properties since purchasing the full-service brokerage in 2017. A former hospitality manager, Kirkendall transitioned into real estate after moving to Pacific City in 2006. She has spent her entire real estate career with the firm.

Now operating as Century 21 Shorepine Properties, the office will gain access to Century 21’s training, marketing tools and referral networks.

Kirkendall said the affiliation is part of her effort to expand her firm’s footprint along the coast through new office openings and increased recruiting.

“The real estate industry is always evolving, and we knew we needed to work with a brand that has a global presence if we want to stay ahead of the curve,” Kirkendall said in a statement.

“Not only does the Century 21 brand have the people, tools, and expertise to help us achieve greater goals, but its philosophy and culture also align perfectly with our own. We can move forward and expand, while still being the same brokerage that our community has come to know.”

The firm specializes in a wide range of property types including residential, commercial, vacation homes, investment properties and land sales.

Kirkendall and her team of independent agents work across multiple towns along the Central Coast of Oregon.

“Our knowledge of Coastal Oregon extends well beyond the area’s latest real estate developments,” she said. “We understand the people here, and we understand the pride that comes with being involved in these communities.

“We try to give back in any way we can, from charity and fundraising to providing the area’s residents with the information they need to make the most informed decisions possible. This is our passion, and ‘real estate with a reason’ is our motto.”

Pacific City, located along the Three Capes Scenic Loop, is a small town known for outdoor recreation along with a steady flow of second-home buyers and vacationers.

Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate, said the affiliation adds valuable regional knowledge to the national brand.

“In order for the Century 21 brand to truly resonate with a global audience, it requires having knowledgeable representatives of every type of lifestyle,” Miedler said. “Becky is the perfect example of a niche lifestyle expert.

“Coastal Oregon is comprised of communities unlike any other in the U.S., and it’s incredibly valuable to the brand to have someone like Becky on board who can make sure the area’s residents have access to the services they deserve.”
