Frank Frye of CENTURY 21 Frank Frye Real Estate

Personal Profile

In 1972, a friend asked Frank Frye, "What do you want to do?" Frank replied with, "I am thinking about real estate" so together they went to real estate school and the adventure began.

Prior to real estate, Frank was in the funeral business and with it also being a service industry, Frank gained a lot of skills that enabled him to become a household name in Real Estate: dealing with the public, taking care of clients at any age, communication, being compassionate, and working hard.

Frank Frye was an agent for several years before he decided to start a company and become a Broker. He started his Brokerage, alongside his wife, Phyllis Frye, who was the office manager. He chose to partner with Century 21 in 1977 because of their worldwide name and brand recognition. He started with two agents close to Downtown Newark in a very small office space. 45 years later, they have grown exponentially and are located in Downtown Newark with 32 licensed real estate agents, two licensed Brokers/Owners, one Associate Broker, four administrative assistants, one director of property management, one director of training, one director of marketing, one director of relocation, one director of commercial real estate, one director of community outreach, and one director of fun! As an agent, the closing and transfer of the real estate to a new owner is one of Frank's favorite parts. From a Broker standpoint, seeing our agents become successful is another favorite part of this business.

Frank says, "Always remember you are working for the client. Real estate is a learning process. You can't learn it in a few weeks. You have to experience it to understand it and that is where a lot of agents fail. It is a long process and people aren't used to putting a lot of time into it. It is all about customer service".

Frank Frye has lived in the Newark area for 80 years. Frank has loved watching the growth of the city and county. Frank was associated with Easter Seals, Goodwill, and Newark JC's. At any given time, you may find Frank taking walks around the Square and occasionally stopping at Main Hardware and enjoying lunch from Christy's Pizza.

Frank is loyal to his Company and is the first one to show up at the office and one of the last to leave. When you walk into the office, you will be greeted by Frank's smile and welcome. Usually you will find one or two agents gathered around him as they listen to his real estate stories and advice. Frank's belief is that real estate is a tangible asset and ownership of real estate is an important part of life. For years, Frank has been known for his integrity, honesty, knowledge, and expertise. Everyone at Century 21 Frank Frye tries to live up to his reputation everyday while helping their clients buy and sell.
