Mississauga, ON – March 2025 – CENTURY 21 Canada is excited to welcome a new brokerage to its renowned network: CENTURY 21 Signature Service. Led by seasoned industry leader Nelson Goulart and his wife Maria Goulart, the transition to the Canadian-owned legacy brand marks a new chapter for his career, one that he hopes will continue a path of success not just for himself, but for his agents as well.

“When we were looking at making a change in Canada, we carefully evaluated all the top brands, and CENTURY 21 Canada stood out,” said Nelson Goulart, Broker Owner of CENTURY 21 Signature Service. “The technology, the support, and the reputation of the brand align perfectly with our vision. The seamless onboarding process exceeded all our expectations, making it clear that this was the right move for us.” His interest in C21 was piqued back in 2018 after seeing the strong rebrand of the iconic brand.

With more than 35 years of real estate experience, Goulart has built a reputation as a forward-thinking broker, mentor, and leader. Well respected and regarded in the industry. Having started his career in 1989 as a sales representative, Nelson has held multiple leadership roles, including manager, broker owner, corporate management, before returning to what he enjoys, working with agents as a broker owner.  His decision to join CENTURY 21 was fueled by the brand’s cutting-edge technology, strong culture, and commitment to agent success.

Joining him in this new venture is his wife, Maria Goulart, an accomplished real estate professional and top-producing agent. Together, Nelson and Maria have cultivated a brokerage culture that prioritizes agent growth and development with hands-on mentorship, ensuring every team member has the resources to thrive in an ever-changing market.

The brokerage cited C21 Canada’s impressive technology stack as a big part of their decision, with its ease of use setting it apart from competitors. “The centralized system makes it so intuitive for agents to use, allowing the company to onboard agents quickly and efficiently to hit the ground running. Its functionality is easy to integrate, clean and smooth with featuring customized Canadian content. It was what agents really need when working in the field.”

Nelson has worked with agents of all levels, from newcomers to the industry to seasoned vets through every kind of market cycle, and this new partnership has allowed him to expand his offerings. “C21 Canada has all the tools, systems and leadership training, but that’s only one part of it,” he explains. “Our agents have to be able to execute on those systems and then that’s where accountability enters the picture. We want them to know that we have an open-door policy, and we’re ready to answer any questions they have.”

The Goularts are now looking to the future of their brokerage growth and development, especially as the Mississauga market undergoes significant shifts. The benefit of decades of industry experience means that they’ve seen it all before and they’re ready to arm their agents with the knowledge they need to thrive. “In times of change, you either buckle under pressure or position yourself for growth,” Nelson said.

“Nelson and Maria’s vision for their agents aligns perfectly with what we hope to achieve with our brokers,” says Todd Shyiak, Executive Vice President of CENTURY 21 Canada. “The way they support their agents is at the heart of our brand ethos, and it’s what we are proud to provide to every owner in our system –  personal support that draws on our five decades of experience in the Canadian real estate industry. We’ll always be curating the best tools and tech on the market, but ultimately we know this is a ‘people-business’ first, and our people are the best in the industry.”

With a strong foundation, an unwavering commitment to innovation, and the backing of one of the most recognized brands in real estate, CENTURY 21 Signature Service is poised to redefine what it means to support and empower agents in today’s competitive market.
