The global real estate network is celebrating five decades in operation, with more than 13,500 offices and 152,000 agents operating across more than 80 countries.

Established back in 1971, Century 21 had an enviable start. The franchise opened approximately 100 new offices each month for the first five years in operation.

It’s been onwards and upwards since then, with the Australian-owned arm of Century 21 formed more than two decades later, in July 1994, by chairman and owner Charles Tarbey.

The “pioneer”, as labelled by the network, formerly owned Combined Real Estate, which he grew to 56 offices before merging into Century 21 to “commence a new era of real estate”.

With a number of high-profile accolades under its belt, Century 21 Australia CEO James Bell has weighed in on the 50-year milestone, stating: “We are proud of our history and the positive contribution every person in the C21 network makes on a daily basis to help members of their community achieve their real estate goals.

“Charles’ philosophy has been integral to developing the Century 21 brand and underpins the renowned ethos within our network.

“We are thrilled to be celebrating the brand’s 50th year in business and remain ever focused on working relentlessly to ensure our customers receive the exceptional service they deserve at all times.”

As one of the largest Asia-Pacific real estate organisations, the network has indicated it will continue to develop its presence across the region, as well as revolutionise the industry for business owners, agents and other related professionals alike.
