President and CEO of CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company Jim Fite secures a well-deserved spot in D CEO’s Dallas 500 annual issue. As the business title of D Magazine, D CEO provides economic and business news for Dallas/Fort Worth as the top regional business magazine in the U.S. for the past four years.

D CEO’S Dallas 500 highlights 500 influential business leaders in the booming Dallas/Fort Worth area across a variety of industries. After a year of in-depth research, editors of D CEOcompiled the top 500 to release at the end of the year.

Fite is listed as one of the top residential real estate executives in Dallas/Fort Worth for 2018. This year was a very remarkable one for the company, with noteworthy awards from Dallas Morning News and Dallas Business Journal highlighting the magnificent culture of the company and the tenacity of the staff and real estate professionals. In the Dallas 500 issue, Fite leaves readers with a glimpse of what the future holds for the company: “The next generation of leaders is in place and solid professionals that will take our 81-year company to the next level,” Fite said.

Fite also shares his love for traveling in the December issue of D CEO with an in-depth interview on his exotic adventures with his wife, Petey. This section of the magazine expands on the different personas of five business leaders in Dallas Fort Worth, with passion being Fite’s persona.

Exploring beyond their comfort zones is an ongoing objective for the Fites. Their adrenaline-inducing adventures together include skydiving, bungee jumping in Victoria Falls, ziplining in Central America and rappelling down office buildings. Fite recalls his response when Petey wanted to skydive: “If you’re going, count me in too.” Ever since, the couple partakes on thrilling adventures together with the goal to take a three-week trip every year to see the world.

With a double feature in both D CEO issues, Fite demonstrates a harmonious balance of professional development and living out his passion.
