Century 21 began in the US and claims to be the world's largest residential agency with some 7,000 franchise offices and over 90,000 agents in more than 70 countries. It is part of a group including the well-known US realtor brand Coldwell Banker, and Sotheby's International Realty, which has a UK office in Mayfair.

Chief executive Rob Clifford says the recruitment campaign aims to offer would-be associates a complete package and that for the right entrepreneurial individuals Century 21 can open the door to a highly lucrative and fulfilling career.
