It’s All About Family at Century 21 DeAnna Realty It’s all about family at Century 21 DeAnna Realty. It always has been, starting with founder Mike DeAnna’s Ohio Family Realty back in 2002. Since becoming Century 21 DeAnna Realty in the spring of 2017, the company has grown dramati-cally while investing continually in the core values the DeAnna family brought to the marketplace from the start. “We are a growing company,” says Tony DeAnna, Mike’s son, who now serves as Director of Business Development. “Yes, we have a big, brand name. But we are still family oriented, family run and have a family atmosphere.” In fact, the DeAnnas are out to grow their family! “We purchased the Century 21 franchise in the spring of 2017 and Tony was named Director of Busi-ness Development. His role shifted from one of pri-marily sales to that of recruiting, training and retention of new agents. Since that time he has done a fantastic job and has increased the size of our company to from 3 to approximately 30 agents,” reports Mike.

Tony DeAnna, Director of Business Development

“We opened a new 1,000 square foot education and training facility on site. Tony’s training calendar includes 8-12 monthly events demonstrating how in-dividual agents can increase their business.” “We have all the big, brand name tools and tech-nologies, but we are still the DeAnna family,” says Tony. “It is the best of both worlds.” Representatives who join the company are finding the kind of in-house support you would expect from family. “We want more agents and we are focused on growing the company. For those who don’t have a real estate license or want to be a realtor - or if you are look-ing for a change - please call us,” says Tony. The focus is on agent success. “We offer support. That is our promise to our agents,” says Tony. “A lot of people promise that, but not a lot of people deliver on that. We do. And that is how we have gone from 3 agents to 30.” Incentives include a no-fee guarantee, high com-mission splits and ongoing training. “We offer classes

every week,” reports Tony. “There is in-office training and also online training through Century 21 University. Classes at the DeAnna Training Center include subjects like lead generation, social media marketing and more. There is also an esprit de corps that comes from company socials like company cook-outs, happy hours and even a party bus to the Jack!

It’s All About Family at Century 21 DeAnna Realtycontinued from page 1 “We offer one on one coaching as part of our

support,” says Tony. “We will meet with agents, dis-cuss their progress and help them meet their goals and let them know what incentives may be within reach. We believe in team-building approaches. “We can take the tools and the tech and align it with the follow-through of training and support to help our agents succeed. We have one agent who just got her license at the end of last year and she is on pace to sell 20 homes this year. She comes to the training, we show her what to do and she sells homes. To me, that’s exciting. “But, it is not about me. It is about the agents. If the agents are successful, the com-pany is successful. And that is what we focus on.” If you’re a realtor looking for success or considering becoming a Realtor, contact Tony DeAnna at (440) 823-1967.

Ramsey Inman has been named Assistant Princi-pal at Bay High School. Inman has served as assistant principal at Cuyahoga Falls High School during the past year and as assistant principal at Shaker Heights High School for three years prior to that. He began his career as a social studies teacher at Bedford High School. “Ramsey’s educational vision encompasses meet-ing a wide range of student needs in a wide variety of ways, and we were amazed to see he’s done them all,” said Superintendent Jodie Hausmann. She noted that the interview process was extremely thorough, with more than 100 applying for the position. “There was a consensus with those we talked to that he is a great listener and we are extremely lucky to have him come to work at Bay High School.” Bay High principal Jason Martin led the interview process. “Mr. Inman connected strongly with team members during his interviews,” he said. “He provided evidence of his strength in leadership and, most importantly, prioritized the building of relationships with teachers, students, and community members. We believe he will be an impactful leader from day one and will help us continue to provide a high quality educational expe-rience for the students of Bay High School.” Inman holds a master’s degree in educational administration from Ursuline College and a bachelor’s degree in secondary education and integrated social studies from the University of Akron. “Bay Village is a model district for Northeast Ohio,” said Inman. “I always want to align myself with excellence, and I have always used models of excellence for improve-ment wherever I have been.” He said a number of his friends live in Bay Village and have told him how positively the schools have impacted their children, urging his young fam-ily to move to the city.

He and his wife reside in the Ohio City neighborhood of Cleve-land with their 16-month-old son. He replaces Aaron Ereditario, who was recently named principal at Bay Middle School. “I hope I will be able to provide something new while building on the great tradition of excellence here,” he said.
