How One Man's Vision For Success Transformed Modesto Real Estate

Spend a few minutes talking with CENTURY 21 Apollo owner/broker, Jim Lankford, and it becomes abundantly clear that this is one man who likes things done one way - the right way. In fact, that's exactly why he opened this real estate office more than 35 years ago.

A Modesto Original

As a longtime Modesto resident and local investor Jim turned his passion for real estate into a career, but he soon found working for someone else wasn't what he wanted to be doing. "Quite frankly, I didn't like the way the business was run," he says. So Jim took matters into his own hands.

He opened CENTURY 21 Apollo with only a small office, eight employees and a commitment to always put the customer's best interests first. A seasoned businessman before embarking on his real estate career, Jim had learned long before that the best way to create a successful business is to develop long-term relationships, and he soon found he wasn't the only one who shared his caring approach to real estate.

Not only did clients appreciate the high level of personalized service provided by the CENTURY 21 Apollo team, but fellow agents were attracted to the company's positive working environment and long-term, businesslike approach to the industry.

Within several years, Jim's office had grown and had earned the reputation throughout town for providing unparalleled service. To Jim, the latter was definitely much more gratifying than the former. "I've never been concerned with how big of a company we can be," he says. "I'm more concerned with how good of a company we can be."

With more than 30 year Modesto real estate, Jim Lankford has earned his reputation as a cutting-edge broker who provides his agents with all the tools needed to be successful.

That philosophy has guided the course of CENTURY 21 Apollo throughout the years. The company has in fact grown and relocated from its humble beginning but its mission remains the same: To provide the ultimate in personal service and technological advances while retaining its strong local ties and close-knit office environment. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, CENTURY 21 Apollo agents have and will provide a wealth of real estate-related information and guidance to the thousands of customers who have relied on this cutting edge brokerage for the ultimate in service and reliability.
