I strongly endorse the entire office including broker Darren, they all contributed some piece of expertise, and especially agent Mary Celestin-Gaither who will not let any obstacle stand in the way. There is nice land and nice houses out there at good prices and you owe it to yourself to take a look. If you see something you like, you owe it to yourself to have Mary and her associates help you because they can take it from dream to reality.

The team at Century 21 in Franklin are amazing! They are so knowledgeable about the area and reality of the current market here in town. They are a true joy and pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a home in Franklin to use them. Thanks to our agent Karen Spivey and her partner Angela Denson, we are so happy with our home purchase and could not be more excited about our new life here in VA.

Darren was extremely helpful with the purchase of my first home. He's professional, responsive, and punctual. The service he provided made my home buying experience a breeze. I will return for any future needs and would highly recommend Century 21 Gold Market Realty.

Darren Stauffer (Broker / Owner) has helped us with the sale of two different homes. In both instances, he was professional, responsive, and offered helpful suggestions. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell property in the Franklin / Southampton County area.

The Broker Darren out of the Franklin office was always very professional, punctual, easy to reach and one of the best Realtors I've dealt with. He also managed our rental property prior to listing and selling our house.

My agent was a pleasure to work with. The timeline I had went longer than expected but she worked very well to understand the conditions. I'd advise everyone to choose this Real estate office.

I could not have asked for a better experience in buying a home. David helped every step of the way, keeping me informed and helping me make the right decisions. Because of him, I am now in the house of my dreams. I am so appreciative of all he did, and would recommend this agency without hesitation.

It is not customary for me to review a person, product, or company; however, I think it’s important to share my home buying experience as it may help someone else who may be in a similar situation. I met Darren for the first time via my brother, as he was interested in purchasing a home and I went with him on the regular, to view houses. We must have viewed no less than 25-30 properties. Long story short, my brother put an offer in on a house, a short sale, waited about 4 months, got impatient and withdrew his offer. Shortly thereafter, I contacted Darren and began searching for a home. Over the course of a year, I would text him the location of a home I was interested in and he would schedule a viewing. He was always cognizant of my schedule, did research on the properties prior to my arrival, provided history, pointed out the positive aspects, as well as the negative of the home, advised me if the property would hold its market value over time, etc. There isn’t much he doesn’t know about the properties and people who live in our community. Darren was always accommodating, knowledgeable, professional, and never once said he was unavailable. Throughout the year, I viewed 15-20 properties, submitted offers on 4 houses, all got rejected, until I got the house that I am in now. Throughout the entire home buying process, Darren made me feel like I was his most important client. He was always one step ahead of me, advised me of what I needed to do next, was my advocate even did things I was not aware of until today. Just today, I received a notice from the Town I reside, requesting a paid receipt for the septic tank pump-out, as it is a law where I am located, and it must be performed every five years. I texted Darren to inquire and he told me he had the receipt, he had requested it be done prior to closing, and within five minutes sent me the receipt. If you are thinking about purchasing a home, I highly encourage you to contact Darren. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine love for his profession has had a tremendous impact on my life. I could not have obtained the house I reside in now without him and I have never been happier.

My realtor was David Steele and he is by far the hardest working agent I've ever met. I cannot suggest strongly enough using him as your agent. Good company, great realtors, and by far the best service you could ask for. If you get the honor of having David Steele as your realtor, you will always have a guy in your corner.

The most helpful and informative office in the area. They go up and behind to make your experience the best it can be.

Work that was "supposed to have been completed" on a home we had a contract on, apparently wasn't. Our agent, who was acting in a dual agent capacity, did not show up for the inspection, stating he was too busy literally 2 hours before the appointed time, leaving our inspector and us to gain access through the contractors lock box.
Once the inspector hit the crawlspace, the absence of our real estate representative became crystal clear.
The pictures speak for themselves.
I will steer quite clear from this Century 21Gold Market franchise, and even go one further, and avoid the whole of Century 21, period. If you can't trust the people you're hiring to protect your best interests during the home buying and/or selling process, then move on. The hassles and un-truths and story spinning isn't worth it. There are honest agents out there. Go to your lender to point you in the right direction.

Once I finally went out there the receptionist was very nice. But I called and called I don't know how many times and it took me three days to get ahold of someone and when i finally did the service was horrible.
