Built on Vision. Driven by Service. Focused on You.

Centered International Realty Corp was founded in 2009 with one mission: to change lives through real estate. Co-owned and led since day one by Maurice L. Hampton and Brande Guilmette-Hampton — a proud Navy veteran with over a decade of service — our firm has grown into a collective of professionals who believe in purpose, mentorship, and meaningful impact. We proudly support military veterans in finding and selling homes, and remain deeply committed to serving those who have served.

We represent buyers, sellers, and investors across Illinois, Indiana, and Florida — and through our Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS) network, we connect clients to opportunities around the globe.

Our team brings together decades of combined experience, elite certifications, and a deep understanding of residential, luxury, commercial, and international markets. But more than credentials, we lead with heart — educating our clients, uplifting our communities, and investing in the success of those around us. We don’t just help people find homes; we guide generational wealth decisions, coach real estate professionals toward growth, and treat every transaction with the care it deserves.

At Centered International Realty Corp, excellence isn’t optional — it’s embedded in everything we do. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, preparing to sell an estate, or building an investment portfolio, we act as trusted advisors who center your goals in every move. We are proud to be a Black-owned, woman-supported, and veteran-led brokerage built on inclusion, collaboration, and service. For us, real estate is more than business — it’s a way to empower people, build futures, and leave a lasting legacy.
