CENTURY 21 Global Conference: Time To Win

March 20, 2014 By Molly

On the final day of the CENTURY 21 Global Conference, all attendees gathered in the afternoon for the closing session. Kicking things off in grand style was the annual Centurion parade.

The top producers from all around the world were recognized for their achievements in the past year.

The international Centurions showed great pride for the countries they represent, many carrying flags or wearing custom made jackets, t-shirts, baseball hats, pins and more.

After the parade, Chief Operating Officer Greg Sexton took the stage to talk about the week’s theme of “Unlocking your potential.” He shared his personal health and wellness journey and touched the whole audience with his candor.

Moving into the professional development portion of the afternoon, real estate guru and beloved speaker Brian Buffini took the stage. Many CENTURY 21 brokers and agents have completed the Brian Buffini Peak Producer program and he received a very warm welcome.

In his remarks Brian spoke about what it takes to be the real estate professional of choice in today’s market. He encouraged to the audience to imagine what could be possible if they lived their lives with no excuses.

Next to take the stage was legendary football coach, Lou Holtz. Lou gave the CENTURY 21 System five strategies for winning not only in real estate, but also in your personal life.

He spoke about the importance of trust and building your key relationships (a theme Chief Marketing Officer Bev Thorne also focused on in her remarks on Monday). He asked the crowed, “Without trust, what do you have?”

The entire room rose to the feet for a standing ovation at the close of Lou’s speech. He truly energized all the attendees and helped each person to reevaluate his or her daily goals.

In closing, CENTURY 21 President and CEO Rick Davidson asked all the brokers and agents to head home from this Global Conference and put into action the ideas, strategies and tips they have learned over the past three days.

As attendees walked out of the closing session, the CENTURY 21 corporate staff flanked the hallway waving American flags in honor of next year’s location – Washington D.C.

See you next year in the nation’s capital!

CENTURY 21 Global Conference: An Evening Of Champions

March 18, 2014 By Molly

Tonight the CENTURY 21 Global Conference rolled out the red carpet (well, the gold carpet) for an awards gala celebrating the highest achieving CENTURY 21 teams and producers from around the world.

Guests arrived to a flock of paparazzi snapping away on both sides of the gold, star-studded carpet.

Chief Marketing Officer Bev Thorne and Chief Operating Officer Greg Sexton played co-hosts for the evening, welcoming the brand’s top producers to the stage. A live band played popular rock songs with custom lyrics shouting out each of the top producers.

Pictured below, the number one team, the Marty Rodriguez Team.

In addition to celebrating this year’s award winners, Bev also invited to the stage, four members of the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton teams: Chris Fogt, Jamie Gruebel, Lauryn Williams and Matt Antoine.

Chris Fogt, a bronze medalist in the four man bobsled event, shared that in addition to representing USA at the 2010 and 2014 Olympic games, he also served our country in Iraq in between. He joked with the crowd, “What can I say? I like to wear a uniform to work.”

Jamie Gruebel, a bronze medalist, shared that she fell in love in Sochi and will be getting married in August. She said, “It’s so special to have competed in the same Olympic games together and now to be building our life together.”

Lauryn Williams, who took home a silver medal in Sochi, has joined an elite club of U.S. athletes. Lauryn is one of only four Americans to have won a medal in both the winter Olympics and the summer Olympics.

Matt Antoine, a bronze medalist in men’s skeleton, hails from Wisconsin and got a roar of applause from the CENTURY 21 Affiliated team who works in his home state.

After meeting the Bobsled and Skeleton team members, attendees were treated to a unique ballroom dancing performance with a touch of Vegas magic.

It was a beautiful evening of celebration. To see more photos, follow the hashtag #C21GC on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
