"I couldn’t be more proud of Marty, Dania, Ricardo, and Alicia, and all of our affiliated sales associates who made the list. They know, and we know, that empowering CENTURY 21 System members to serve multicultural home buyers and sellers is no longer a niche. Serving diverse markets is good business, and another sign that our iconic brand is committed to reflecting all of the faces of the consumers it serves in local markets across the globe."

- The exclusive real estate brand sponsor of the NAHREP "53 Million & One Nuevo Latino Tour."
- A revamped Spanish-language website – century21espanol.com – to include features like a "search by schools" function and interactive mapping, all designed to make it easier for Spanish-speaking consumers to engage with CENTURY 21 sales professionals.
- Agent-centric advertising placed on the 2015 Latin Grammy awards this past November.
"This work bolsters the company’s long-standing tradition to champion multiculturalism within the real estate industry and the core belief that Latino culture and homeownership are inseparable," added Davidson. "The programs and sponsorships allow us to better align our mission and goals with sustainable home ownership in the Hispanic community and to bring Latino entrepreneurs into the business of real estate."
