CENTURY 21 Canada raises $945,000 in support of Easter Seals Canada
Vancouver, BC (February 2023) – The partnership between CENTURY 21 Canada and Easter Seals Canada continues to be successful, with the legacy real estate brand raising just over $945,000 in support of the non-profit. This brings the total amount raised over the past 40+ years to more than $14 million dollars.
Since 1979, CENTURY 21 Canada has been fundraising for Easter Seals, primarily supporting their summer camp program for kids and teens living with disabilities in Canada. Many of the network’s agents build fundraising into their business, with a portion of each transaction going towards a donation. In 2022, the brand recognized 89 members of their ‘Golden Heart Club’– agents who raise a minimum of $2,100 towards Easter Seals, the second highest number to reach this distinction in its history.
First-time Golden Heart Winner Krista Trask from CENTURY 21 Seller’s Choice in St. Johns, NL, credits part of her fundraising motivation to her visits to Easter Seals summer camps. “When you see the kids at these camps, you remember just why it’s so important to support them,” says Krista. “It’s such a good cause and when you work in a community, it’s important to find ways to give back and turn your business success into something more.”
Alongside individual efforts, many offices across the country find ways to fundraise together, hosting annual events that have become beloved community traditions. Cam Toews from CENTURY 21 Westman Realty in Brandon, MB, is one of the longest-running Golden Heart winners, having spent more than eight years helping host the office’s annual bonspiel. “We’ve been really lucky that there are so many people and other businesses who come out to support us and support a great cause year over year. If anybody feels they want to try this themselves, all they have to do is reach out, find sponsors, and remember that you’re working towards a great goal, which is to help kids.”
“We’ve got a really great partner in Easter Seals and I am so proud that our network recognizes how important it is to give back,” says Brian Rushton, Chief Operating Officer of CENTURY 21 Canada. “We’ve been fortunate to have a strong real estate market for the past couple of years, and that’s meant a lot of success for our offices and agents. And with that success comes a responsibility to give back in some way, and Easter Seals is a great cause. We look forward to working with them for many years to come.”
CENTURY 21 Canada surpassed their original fundraising goal for 2022 of $750,000 by 26%. CENTURY 21 B.J. Roth Realty in Ontario held the title of top fundraising company for the year, and the network has set its sights higher with a 2023 fundraising goal of $800,000.

CENTURY 21 Canada Office, Team and Producer earn top spot in Global rankings
Vancouver, B.C. (February 28, 2023)—2022 proved to be another banner year for CENTURY 21 Canada, with the legacy brand taking three of the top four spots in the CENTURY 21 annual GLOBAL 21 Rankings, as well as several spots in other categories.
The most recent GLOBAL 21 rankings recognize the top 21 CENTURY 21 companies, offices, teams and producers in the brand’s worldwide system. CENTURY 21 Coastal Realty in Surrey, BC earned the top office spot, as well as the top producer with Harpreet Khela. The Goodale Miller Team was #1 among the six Canadian teams to rank, earning this distinction for the third consecutive year.
“It’s no surprise that CENTURY 21 Canada continues to excel on the global stage,” says President and CEO Martin Charlwood. “Despite changes and uncertainty in the industry for the better part of last year, our network was quick to adjust and provide outstanding service to their clients. With their expertise, enthusiasm and the support of our superior training and technology, they achieved and surpassed our signature gold standard level of surface, and we are so proud of every single one of them.”
Jasbir Sandhu, manager of the top ranked CENTURY 21 Coastal Realty office in Surrey, BC, once again credits passion for his team’s success. “We believe in what we do and when you’re enthusiastic about your job, that’s what takes you to the top,” says Sandhu. “We’re grateful for the support of a large brand, and we want to be a leader in real estate. That means providing good training to our agents and good service to our clients, and we’re going to continue that for the year ahead.”
The Goodale Miller Team held onto their top spot for the third year in a row, and its leaders credit the professionalism and in-depth local knowledge of their team members for this incredible success. “When you work with people who bring their absolute best each and every day, the rest falls into place,” says Brad Miller, one of the team’s leaders. “We’re nothing without our clients – so ultimately the biggest thank you goes out to them for placing their trust in us.”
Harp Khela is the top CENTURY 21 agent in the world. His rise to the top comes after years dedicated to growing client relationships and anticipating the needs of a quickly changing market in BC. “I started my career in real estate with commercial properties, and I worked closely with municipal governments, which gave me great insight into urban planning,” Harp explains. “I was able to broker large land transactions to serve the recent boom in development. I’ve been fortunate to build great relationships with my clients, some of which are the largest developers in the country. My goal is to be as strategic as possible in anticipating the needs of our community and pair that with developer’s interests and goals. This allows me to continue to grow and create even more opportunities for my clients and the communities we collectively serve.”
In addition to producers, teams and offices, CENTURY 21 Canada had eight of the top performing companies with CENTURY 21 Leading Edge Realty Ltd. coming highest at #4 in the world. The average number of Canadian names has been steadily rising on each GLOBAL 21 list, with sixteen ranked offices marking the highest number of spots held by Northerners. Notably, a majority of the ranked offices hail from the suburbs of major cities as Canada’s metropolitan areas continued to develop at a rapid rate in 2022, despite the uncertainty caused by shifting market conditions in the latter half of the year.
