Century 21 Burke Realty continues to be the fastest growing new real estate office in Middlesex County, achieving record sales and listings during 2015. “On behalf of Century 21, I congratulate and thank the men and women of Century 21 Burke Realty for their exemplary service and tireless dedication and commitment to their community,” said Rick Davidson, president and chief executive officer for Century 21 Real Estate LLC.
John H. Burke, broker/owner of the North Brunswick-based firm, said, “We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished with residential and commercial properties during 2015, and we anticipate even greater success during this year.”
Burke pointed to the 2015 J.D. Power 2015 Home Buyer/Seller Satisfaction Study resulting in Century 21, for the second consecutive year, being ranked highest among national real estate companies for First-Time Home Buyers, Repeat Home Buyers, First-Time Home Sellers and Repeat Home Sellers. “Century 21 swept the honors in all four categories because both sellers and buyers believe in the good work we do for them,” he said.
Burke cited historically low interest rates as being a great incentive for first-time home buyers to invest in the spring market. “Buying a house now can get a family into a new home by the end of the school year,” he said.
Broker/Manager John Sacktig reports the office is interviewing for new agents and cited the outstanding training programs offered by Century 21. “Our diverse office offers special one-on-one service with sales associates who speak the following languages: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, Persian, Hindi, Italian, Punjabi (Eastern), Spanish and Urdu,” he said. The staff has doubled and made rapid strides since opening its doors on May 15, 2014, he added.
Sacktig also reported that Century 21 Burke Realty has served the following communities in Middlesex and Monmouth counties: North Brunswick, South Brunswick, East Brunswick, Monroe, Jamesburg, Helmetta, Spotswood, South River, Sayreville, South Amboy, Milltown, Old Bridge, Manalapan, Marlboro and Englishtown. Both Burke and Sacktig are NJAR Circle of Excellence winners.
Burke extolled the virtues of the Century 21 System with assistance to potential new home buyers. “From its use of modern technology to its top-notch agent support tools, the Century 21 System enables us to provide an unparalleled customer experience. Between the liveliness of the executive team and the energy of the System, the Century 21 brand has so much to offer our business,” he said.
Burke and his wife Ann Marie are co-owners of the company. They have more than 27 years of real estate experience between them and know what it takes to operate a successful business. John has a background in commercial real estate and finance and has owned Coastal Commercial Group since 2001, while Ann Marie has roots in the mortgage industry.

“We offer residential resales including single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums, new homes, prestigious properties, land sales, residential rentals, industrial & commercial leasing/sales and investment sales,” Burke said. Century 21 advertises on more than 800 web sites, listings are syndicated on YouTube and advertised through print media in newspapers and magazines.
