Buying With Confidence, Backed by Expertise
At Centered International Realty Corp, we view home buying as more than a transaction — it’s a transformation. Whether you're a first-time buyer, relocating from across the globe, or expanding your investment portfolio, our mission is to guide you with purpose, clarity, and expertise. Founded by Maurice L. Hampton and Brande Guilmette-Hampton — a Navy veteran with over 10 years of service and co-owner since day one — our firm combines over 15 years of excellence with a mentorship-driven approach that puts your goals first.
We proudly serve both civilian and military buyers, helping many veterans find the homes they’ve earned. Every step is intentional — from financial preparation to contract negotiation — and every client relationship is built on trust, education, and results. With elite certifications like ABR® and CIPS, and a team rooted in professionalism and discretion, we don’t just help you find a property — we help you secure your future.
