Georgia brokerage joins Century 21 network

Century 21 Real Estate has expanded its presence in Georgia with the addition of Realty 1 Georgia, a brokerage led and founded by Angela Whitmire.

The firm — which will now operate as Century 21 Realty 1 Professionals — has offices in Covington and Milledgeville, Georgia. It serves residential and commercial clients across the eastern portions of metro Atlanta as well as central parts of the state.

Whitmire, who entered the real estate industry at 18, has navigated a career that includes mortgage lending, property management and sales.

After surviving the 2008 housing market crash by pivoting to event management, she returned to real estate in 2013 and launched her brokerage in early 2020. She has since earned the position of president-elect of the East Metro Board of Realtors.

Now, Whitmire and her agents will have access to Century 21’s lead generation and marketing tools and its training resources.

“The Century 21 brand offers a unique balance of support and independence,” Whitmire said. “The network provides a strong sense of belonging while empowering agents to remain independent and entrepreneurial.”

Whitmire said her goal is to increase agent productivity, support new and existing agents, and maintain a high standard of service.

“In addition to making sure our brokerage operations are running smoothly, I have a strong focus on mentoring and coaching our agents,” she said. “My goal is to help agents grow their business with confidence and to help clients achieve the real estate goals they strive for.”

Century 21 Real Estate CEO Mike Miedler praised Whitmire’s leadership.

“It’s always huge for the CENTURY 21 brand to expand its presence in America’s largest metros, especially when we can do it with someone as professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate as Angela,” Miedler said. “Although Angela’s immediate footprint isn’t in Atlanta proper, her presence is still felt there and her expertise is still able to speak for itself.”

The Covington office — located about 40 minutes from Atlanta — sits in a community that’s often called the “Hollywood of the South” for its role in film and TV productions.

Century 21 has announced other recent mergers and affiliations in Nevada, Louisiana and Colorado.
