As Century 21 Burke Realty continues to be the fastest growing new real estate office in Middlesex County, achieving record sales and listings during 2016, John H. Burke, broker and owner of the North Brunswick-based firm, said, “It’s the right time for potential buyers and sellers to spring into action. We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished with residential and commercial properties during 2016, and we anticipate even greater success during this year.”
The company has extensive expertise in commercial and residential sales and leasing, land development, consulting and property management and currently lists almost 20 commercial properties for sale on its web site.
Burke pointed to the 2016 J.D. Power Home Buyer/Seller Satisfaction Study resulting in Century 21, for the third 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,” Burke said.
The firm’s location on U.S. Route 1 in North Brunswick positions it ideally to serve all areas.
Broker Associate Kathleen Morin, manager of the Century 21 Burke Realty office, announced 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 Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, Persian, Hindi, Italian, and Punjabi (Eastern), Spanish and Urdu,” Morin said.
According to Morin, the staff has more than doubled and made rapid strides since opening its doors on May 15, 2014.
Morin 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.
In addition, she 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,” Morin said. “Between the liveliness of the executive team and the energy of the system, the Century 21 brand has so much to offer our business.”
Burke and his wife Ann Marie are co-owners of the company. They have more than 28 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. The couple has extensive market knowledge of the North Brunswick area, having resided and raised a family in the area for the past 28 years.

“We offer residential resales, including single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums, new homes, prestigious properties, land sales, residential rentals, industrial and commercial leasing/sales and investment sales,” Burke said.
