Century 21 Franchise

Century 21, a Anywhere Real Estate franchise, has been franchising since 1972 - 1 years after the concept was founded in 1971 , currently with 14,000 total locations in the real estate sector, headquartered in NJ. The summary-level data above does not carry a full investment range for this brand; request the complete FDD for the Item 7 cost breakdown.

Ongoing royalties run 6.0% of gross sales with an additional 2.0% national advertising fund contribution, bringing the combined ongoing cost to 8.0% of every dollar in sales. Century 21 does not include Item 19 financial performance data in its FDD -- a common choice, since the disclosure is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule. That shifts the diligence burden onto the buyer: survey existing franchisees via the Item 20 contact list, model unit economics from public comparables, and press for validated profit-and-loss figures before signing.

Network size has held steady year-over-year, which typically means new openings and closures are roughly offsetting, a stability pattern that can mask underlying churn.
