1. Why Century 21 Is Number One in Canada

Century 21 is recognized as the leading real estate brand in Canada, and for good reason. It has earned its reputation by consistently providing industry-leading training, innovative marketing tools, and a global network that supports its agents. The brand’s commitment to the “Golden Standard” of service means that clients can trust they are working with professionals who prioritize integrity, expertise, and client satisfaction. This reputation is built on decades of experience, a comprehensive support system, and a focus on continuous improvement—making Century 21 the most trusted and recognized name in real estate across the country.

2.Why Century 21 Established Local Franchises Like Purcell Realty

While Century 21 is a national brand, it recognizes the importance of local expertise and community engagement. To support this, Century 21 has established local franchises—like Century 21 Purcell Realty—which serve specific regions under the guidance and management of licensed brokers. These franchises are owned and operated by experienced real estate professionals who understand the unique needs of their local communities. They function under the standards and policies set by Century 21 Canada, but are managed locally to ensure personalized service, compliance with provincial regulations, and a deep understanding of regional markets.

Century 21 Purcell Realty is one such franchise, led by a managing broker who ensures the franchise operates within the BC regulatory framework and maintains the high standards expected of the Century 21 brand. This structure allows the franchise to uphold both the national reputation and local expertise, offering clients the best of both worlds.

3.How Walsh Real Estate Team Fits Into This System**  

Gerald and Deborah Walsh are very proud owners and active licensed real estate professionals within Century 21 Purcell Realty. Their team works under the local brand as part of the franchise, which benefits from Century 21’s extensive resources, training, and support. This relationship allows them to deliver top-tier service while maintaining the personal, community-focused approach they value.

A Personal Journey of Pride and Community

Gerald and Deborah’s journey into real estate is rooted in their entrepreneurial spirit and love for community. Before entering real estate, they owned Tim Hortons franchises in Canmore and Banff, Alberta — a venture they are incredibly proud of. Their experience running Tim Hortons instilled in them a deep respect for high standards, consistency, and community engagement. They learned firsthand what it means to serve with integrity and to be proud owners who genuinely care about the people they serve.

This background also makes them natural believers in the “Golden Standard” that Century 21 represents. It’s a standard that aligns perfectly with their values and their desire to be proud, trusted members of their community. They see their role not just as real estate agents, but as community builders who are committed to excellence and helping families find their perfect homes.

The franchise model offers ongoing training, marketing tools, and a reputation that benefits everyone—realtors and clients alike. It allows them to focus on what matters most: serving their community with professionalism, care, and integrity.
