At the leading edge of technology and on top of the market for five decades, learn about the brokerage and its agents that makes CENTURY 21 Bill Bartlett such a well-known name in Central Texas Real Estate.
SINCE 1973
Central Texas' Top
Real Estate Brokerage
Bill Bartlett started this legacy of a company in 1973 as Bill Bartlett Real Estate. Leaving behind his career in life insurance with Farm Bureau in Brownwood, Texas, he sought to build something for himself and his family, closer to where he was raised. He found an office in Belton and opened its doors as its newfound proprietor. He would later reminisce this choice as the second best decision he ever made in his life, his first: marrying Ruth.
Since that bold decision to leave a promising career to start a business and jump feet first into Real Estate, our company has prospered. We moved our office from Belton to Salado in 1982 and joined CENTURY 21 in 1992, becoming what we're known today. Throughout the years, our integrity and intense desire to better our community have shaped every decision we've made, allowing us to garner the reputation and respect needed to succeed.

Values
Teamwork
Many offices compete amongst themselves, producing a toxic environment to the detriment of the client. Not Here! We work fantastically with our clients, other brokerages, and ourselves. (besides, we have to see each other at Thanksgiving!)
Professionalism
We are incredibly friendly, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a job to do. You will never need to worry whether we will be on time, how we hold ourselves in negotiations, or if we will ever lose our cool.
Honesty
Our words can always be taken at face value. We strive for openness, so you can always stay informed. Even if the truth is inconvenient or difficult, it is our job to make sure you never worry if you have the full picture.
Integrity
Not only are our words true, but our actions always follow our words. If we say we’ll do something, we do it; if something changes, you’re the first to know. The last thing we want is for you ever to be blindsided.
Loyalty
We will never lose sight of who our client is. Acting in our own self-interest is not only wrong but also an easy way to ruin a business. We will always have your back.
Responsiveness
We make responding to not only our clients a priority but everyone else party to your transaction. Unfortunately, many brokerages overlook this important facet of being successful in our industry. We realize the quicker we respond, the quicker you’re in your dream home.
Our Team
Of the 8 people at CENTURY 21 Bill Bartlett, 5 are from the Bartlett Family; the other 3 might as well be.
5 Agents - Each a Rockstar in Their Own Right
For over a decade straight, CENTURY 21 Bill Bartlett has won the CENTURY 21 Per Person Productivity Award, given to offices with only top producing agents. This means that you’re guaranteed to have an amazing, smooth, and experienced professional whoever you pick from our agents.

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
We absolutely love Sue Ellen Slagel as our Realtor and friend! She was very helpful, professional and knowledgeable. We put our house for sale right before Covid hit, we didn't get many showings at first, Sue Ellen really did a great job getting our house to stand out and letting other Realtors know of the listing. We would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to sell or buy in the area.
We truly enjoyed working with Melanie to sell our home. She was always timely in all correspondence, always so nice and polite, and Melanie knows her stuff. We valued her opinion and knew that she was wanting what was best for us and our specific wants. We loved working with Melanie!
Sue Ellen was great to work with! My daughter had a great experience with her and recommended her. We had a great experience with her as well. She was very understanding of our need to quickly sell our property and helped us through the process. This was a very hard time for me and Sue Ellen was so kind and helpful. I appreciated her expertise and would highly recommend her to any future customers.
Savannah was always available and responsive. She negotiated very well in the interest of we, her clients. She is very professional and always listens to input and feedback given by her clients. We would recommend Savannah to other potential clients looking for an agent in this market.
Melanie is always knowledgeable and is a valuable resource whether you are a buyer or seller. She is the consummate professional and is always pleasing to everyone involved in a transaction.
Community
We are nothing without our community. Our community is something we love to celebrate, and something we do our best to nurture as an office and family. Here are just a few examples of CENTURY 21 Bill Bartlett taking part in the community.
