On Monday, February 23, 2026, Century 21 Real Estate LLC officially announced its 2025 “Number Ones” and GLOBAL 21 honorees. This annual recognition celebrates the top-performing companies, offices, and agents within a network that has expanded to over 125,000 sales professionals across 79 countries.
Despite a year marked by economic recalibration, the 2025 results underscore the brand’s resilience. The network now operates out of approximately 11,000 offices, maintaining its 27-year streak as a leader in global brand awareness.
2025 Global “Number Ones”: The Elite Performers
The awards are based on two primary metrics from the 2024–2025 calendar year: Adjusted Gross Commission (AGC) and total Units sold.
The 2025 ceremony highlighted a strategic 10% international growth trajectory. CEO Mike Miedler emphasized that the “GLOBAL 21” list—which includes top performers from Japan, Portugal, and Mexico—represents the brand’s ability to deliver “121% effort” in diverse market conditions.
Market Resilience: Top achievers found success in 2025 by pivoting toward the luxury segment and utilizing advanced digital tools to combat fluctuating mortgage rates.
International Expansion: Recognition of professionals like Yoshimichi Matsumoto (Tokyo) and Bruna Sherlock (Lisbon) signals Century 21’s deepening footprint in the Asian and European high-end markets.
Brand Authority: A late 2025 Kantar study confirmed that Century 21 remains the most respected name in the industry, significantly aiding agents in securing listings during a low-inventory year.
