Under the leadership of Elena Karacostas, Metropolis Realty announced today that it has joined the CENTURY 21^® System and will now conduct business as CENTURY 21 Unique Realty. The company will continue to provide full-service real estate services to buyers and sellers in New York City and the surrounding area, and it will now benefit from the world-class marketing, agent learning and educational resources, and technology and productivity tools provided through its affiliation with the iconic CENTURY 21 brand.

“CENTURY 21 Unique Realty exemplifies how integrity and trust are key factors for success in this industry,” said Nick Bailey, president and chief executive officer,
Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “In addition to their ability to make clients feel comfortable and confident, Elena and her team have broad expertise – from commercial leasing and sales to residential leasing and sales – and a deep knowledge of the community. We’re thrilled to welcome them to the CENTURY 21 System.”

Karacostas brings more than thirty years of diverse experience to her role, having worked in development, operations, management, sales, leasing and more. She formed her own company in 2001 and, today, exclusively focuses on the real estate brokerage portion of the business.

“I knew that in order to continue growing, particularly in competitive markets like Manhattan, Astoria and Long Island City, it was important to have the power of a brand behind us,” said Karacostas. “We looked into several different opportunities, but the CENTURY 21 brand really stood out to us because of their recent rebranding campaign and the spirit behind it. We’re excited to see the mutual success that’s to come.”

Beyond providing real estate services, Karacostas and her team are heavily involved with the local Greek community and have plans to expand their philanthropic efforts following the affiliation.
