Naomi W. Scipio founded Central City Realty, Inc. 1986 at a time when minority-owned female businesses were rare. To celebrate this impressive four decade milestone, a gathering of family, friends, former real estate buyers, sellers and business cohorts attended a celebration banquet dinner recently at the Spring Valley Country Club. Many in attendance were repeat clients and others reflected multiple generations.

According to Momentum Realty, an industry advocacy group, real estate firms often fail in the first five years because of a flawed business strategies and insufficient adaptation to the ebb and flow of the real estate market. Ms. Scipio, who is both a licensed realtor and broker, lauds Central City Reality’s 40-year operational longevity to a brand distinguished by personal and professional services rather than the highly transactional real estate services that are widespread in today’s business environment. Central City Realty continues to welcome starter home buyers and well as buyers seeking iconic high-end properties. For more information about Ms. Scipio’s services, visit centralcityrealty.com.
The Carolina Panorama editorial board salutes Ms. Scipio on reaching this 40-year milestone and looks forward to continuing a strong business relationship.
