“Today’s vision is tomorrow’s reality.”

Someone once said, “If you can conceive it and you can believe it, you can achieve it.” Mike Levine’s story, no different than your own, is living proof of this hypothesis.

CENTURY 21 World Properties is the fruit of a seed that was planted in 1990. Standing at a cross road in his career, Mike Levine said goodbye to the hospitality industry, where he served as the General Manager of several different full service hotel properties, and embarked on a career in real estate. Today Mike leads a group of 27 professionals (and growing) who are dedicated to the highest level of customer service, professionalism and integrity available in the business world today.

“You become what you do. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. A person cannot effectuate bad business and be a good person. Integrity is everything. Life is a moment by moment, decision by decision, step by step accumulation of events that adds up to who we are. There is no way around it.”

“The only way to be a professional is to add value to the lives of our customers and communities. Each of us has a role to play in the world. None of us can do everything. Human interaction is necessary. In the context of this writing, the human interaction manifests itself as commerce. We at CENTURY 21 World Properties are not Doctors, Lawyers or Indian Chiefs. We are Real Estate Brokers. We sell our customers’ properties for the highest possible price, in the most appropriate period of time and with as little inconvenience as is absolutely necessary. No one can do it like we do. We are CENTURY 21 World Properties, REALTORS®.”

“Customer Service means caring deeply for our customers. Whenever faced with a business decision, our customers’ best interests must be the factors that drive the decision making process. This is our commitment to our customers. This is also our commitment to ourselves. Without this level of caring it is impossible to be the best. Anyone who does not aspire to be the best is destined to fail. In today’s competitive business environment customers are too expensive to get. We cannot risk losing even one. Customer service is our security blanket. Real Estate Brokers are in the service business. Without customer service, businesses are nothing. With it, business is guaranteed a seat at the table. CENTURY 21 World Properties will always be the best provider of real estate services in our markets.”

Looking Back

“Reflecting on where we have been is necessary in the process of mapping the road ahead.”

“In order to lead one must first follow. Investing in ourselves is the only way that we can ever benefit others. If we have nothing, then what can we give? Education fills us up so that we can share ourselves with others.”

The moment we are born, our parents begin the arduous process of preparing us for independence. “Eat your vegetables, brush your teeth, make good grades in school.” While navigating the mine field of the world’s distractions, eventually we are faced with the “What am I going to do with my life?” decision. Growing up in East Orlando where surfing and partying were every day occurrences, this quagmire required serious deliberation for Mike at around age seventeen. Working in restaurants for a living and seeing the surge in meals being eaten out of the home, Mike ultimately enrolled in the Hotel and Restaurant Administration program at Florida State University. Today, Mike uses the principles that he learned in the Business School to assist his associates and customers with business planning and investment decisions. Mike’s education is certainly one of his most valuable assets.

The State of Florida requires licensure of all those who wish to participate in the real estate profession. The Association of REALTORS® offers real estate licensees the opportunity to truly become professionals through educational opportunities and the sharing of experiences, among other things. Mike Levine realized that integrity and professionalism in real estate required a different set of skills than those acquired in the hospitality business. As a means to deliver the high standard of customer service that Mike aspired to, he began following in the foot steps of other real estate professionals by involving himself with the Osceola County Association of REALTORS®. Due to his diligent attendance and enthusiastic involvement at the various events engaged in by the association, Mike was asked to contribute to the leadership of the association. In 1999 Mike Levine served as the President of the Osceola County Association of REALTORS®. This experience, and the experiences that lead up to Mike’s Presidential service, required him to study, in great detail, a variety of topics that have transformed the real estate business over the last decade. These topics range from the business practices that sustain the REALTOR® as the “Center of the Real Estate Transaction” to the provision of the education that is essential to the rapidly growing REALTOR® population in Florida. This experience challenged Mike to share what he had learned with other REALTORS®, who attest similar values, through the foundation of The Kissimmee Real Estate Company, currently doing business as CENTURY 21 World Properties.

Confronting a panel of the finest professionals in anyone’s field of expertise is unnerving. In August of the year 2000 Mike was required to do just that. His nomination to the position of District Vice President to the Florida Association of REALTORS® needed confirmation by those REALTORS® who had served the Florida REALTOR® family before him. Mike’s nomination was approved and in 2001 Mike enjoyed the privilege of serving the state association in this prestigious position. Mike’s service as 2001 District Vice President to the Florida Association of REALTORS® has put him in the forefront of almost every real estate decision that has been faced by the state of Florida since then. Mike’s commitment to the safety of all Floridians, as it relates to private property rights and real estate business practices, makes him a voice to be reckoned with both legislatively and at the state association of REALTORS®. When thorough knowledge of real estate values, trends and business practices is needed, Mike Levine is a very good resource. The quality of the real estate professionals who carry the CENTURY 21 World Properties business card is the best testament to Mike’s accomplishments.

When Looking Back on Mike Levine’s Career, there is one moment that cannot be overlooked. That moment came during the Osceola County Association of REALTORS® 2004 Awards Banquet when Mike was recognized as the REALTOR® of the Year. Words cannot describe the gratitude that Mike feels as a result of this phenomenon. The man will be forever honored by this incredible act of kindness bestowed upon him by his colleagues.

Snapshot in Time

“So what have you done for me lately?”

Robust growth is the name of the real estate game in the U.S.A.! And, particularly in Florida. Today, Mike Levine is attentively monitoring the so called “Real Estate Bubble”.

“What does a Real Estate Broker have to do?” to add value to his customer’s life? Quality of life issues certainly come into play. Locating the right school, the great outdoors, the perfect spiritual environment and perfect neighbors is what it is about for most. Additionally, we cannot forget the investment community. A Real Estate Broker must monitor his markets closely. He must run regular analysis tracking the number of transactions occurring in his market place compared to the number of properties currently available. He must track land values and developer / builder activity in an effort to stay ahead of the supply curve in the market. He must talk to buyers and sellers who are transacting business, right now, to get a feel for human sentiments that ultimately define a market. A Real Estate Broker must keep his finger on the pulse of the market, always.” And, that is what Mike Levine is doing for you today.

As the Chairman of the Florida Association of REALTORS® 2005 International Operations Committee, Mike Traveled to Madrid Spain’s Salon Inmobiliario this year. This International Real Estate Exhibition hosted approximately 130,000 real estate consumers from around the world AND 1,000 real estate professionals who Expanded Their Markets in this Global Economy. From Madrid, Mike was off to Athens Greece for the 56th FIABCI World Congress! FIABCI is a French acronym describing a Consortium of International Real Estate Professionals. And what a group they are! FIABCI professionals come together, literally, from around the globe. FIABCI is recognized by the United Nations as the World’s voice on real estate. FIABCI is an extremely unique and influential group of professionals. Most importantly, Florida is on everyone’s international radar! The FIABCI membership roster is THE database to have. We have it!
