MADISON, N.J., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Announced
today, Century 21 Real Estate LLC, has been named the #1 Fastest
Growing Franchise in the Entrepreneur 2021 list of the
Fastest Growing Franchises, published in the magazine's March
issue. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the
global industry leader currently boasts a network of 145,000
affiliated sales professionals in approximately 13,000 offices
across 86 countries and territories worldwide. Achieving this top
ranking further cements the CENTURY 21® brand's position as a
global powerhouse not just within the real estate industry but
among the world's top franchise companies across categories.
Franchises on this list are ranked based on the net total of
units (both franchised and company-owned) added globally from
July 2019 to July 2020, with ties broken based on percentage
growth. (In previous years, only US and Canadian unit growth was
considered—2021 marks the first year that the ranking is based on
systemwide growth, in recognition of the increasingly global nature
of franchising.)
In 2020, the CENTURY 21 brand's growth included the addition of
23 new franchises and the renewal of 145 companies to its network.
The brand also recently expanded its global footprint welcoming
CENTURY 21 Italy and CENTURY 21 Guyana to its international roster
of countries.
"Nothing can stop the smartest franchises from growing—not even
a pandemic!" says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur's
editor-in-chief. "We've been impressed with how innovative
franchises have pivoted and adapted this past year and are happy to
celebrate the ones who keep pushing forward and growing."
Included among Entrepreneur magazine's Franchise 500®,
the world's first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking,
the CENTURY 21 brand serves as an industry leader and innovator,
continuously challenging the status quo of real estate. In
addition, the brand's drive to elevate the consumer and agent
experience has once again earned it the recognition as the #1
leader in brand awareness for 22 consecutive years as well as
the most recognized name in real estate and
the most respected brand in the industry.*
"At Century 21 Real Estate we're constantly pushing ourselves
and our System members to ask, 'what if?' and challenge the
expected norms of the real estate industry," said Mike Miedler, president and CEO of Century 21
Real Estate LLC. "It is our commitment to delivering the
extraordinary with industry-leading technology, exceptional
learning platforms and unique programs focused on driving business
growth that is resonating with industry professionals worldwide
allowing them to reach their goals and our brand to continue to
