According to a Wall Street Journal survey, CENTURY 21® is No. 1 in its category when it
comes to brand awareness. The newspaper's 2009 Residential Real Estate Study revealed that 99% of American consumers were
familiar with the CENTURY 21® brand.
"No other real estate company has greater awareness with consumers,"
said Bev Thorne, senior vice president of marketing at CENTURY 21® Real Estate. "We accomplished this through powerful
advertising campaigns, broad online digital visibility, strong word-of-mouth marketing and the delivery of outstanding customer
services experiences. It's great to be part of an industry-leading brand."
