We've Got Pride at C21 Redwood Realty
By Tara L. Christianson on Jul 3, 2019 12:45:11 PM
Anyone who has seen our online marketing is familiar with the phrase, “Redwood Rocks.” Not only is this a rallying cry for our agents; it’s a testament to our agents’ hard work and their enormous hearts. That attitude of caring is on display this month at our C21 Redwood Realty Washington, D.C. office in Dupont Circle. In preparation for the Washington, D.C. Pride Parade on June 8 and in recognition of June being LGBTQ Pride month, our D.C. staff and agents gathered to decorate the office and show their support for our LGBTQ agents, friends, clients, family members, and allies.

C21 Redwood Agents Providing a Soft Place to Land
By Tara L. Christianson on Jun 26, 2019 4:49:41 PM
Everyone wants to have a soft place to land or at least to lay your head, right? This extends to everyone, including those who are in between permanent homes or are homeless. This past month, Century 21 Redwood Realty agents rallied together to collect new pillows to donate to the Northern Virginia SERVE shelter.
Spearheaded by our C21 Redwood Manassas office’s Redwood Gives Back arm and supported by agents across all of our 13 offices, the collection of pillows were happily greeted by SERVE and the people SERVE helps. Northern Virginia Family Service’s SERVE Family Shelter is Northern Virginia’s largest family shelter and, on average (per their website), more than 40% of the shelter’s guests are children. While you wouldn’t think of a soft, clean pillow being a luxury, for some it is.

Are your unread emails sitting at 0 or 30,000? If it's the latter, you’re not alone. Yet, you’ll probably open up emails that seem important or are addressed to you. Your prospective and current clients are the same. Email marketing is still a strong way of communicating with your clients as long as personalized and contains information that’s important to the recipient. On the creation side, though, it can become time-consuming to send or respond to all the email. What do you do? Enter the email template.
