Known as Century 21 Botterill McKee in 1976, the brokerage is now Century 21 Advantage. It is celebrating its 100th anniversary.

Since opening its doors late in 1910, Century 21 Advantage has been providing expert real estate services to the residents of Central Alberta. Founded by local businessman W.J. Botterill, the company was originally named Botterill McKee. It joined Century 21 in 1976, changed its name to Century 21 Advantage approximately 20 years ago and is currently co-owned by Patrick Galesloot and Janice Resch.

Galesloot says, “I love the people I get to work with, meet and socialize with in Red Deer. They’re always kind, generous and open to sharing.” Looking to the future, Galesloot is expecting technology to play a bigger part in real estate transactions. He says he is confident that the experiences and personalized touches of real estate agents will continue to be the cornerstone of the real estate industry. Galesloot says that with all the changes in real estate in recent years, buying and selling a home is still done across the kitchen table.
