Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 04, 2014 - Century 21 Affiliated is honored to accept the distinction as the No. 1 Century 21 company by Century 21 Real Estate, LLC. Century 21 Affiliated achieved this decoration based on the impressive number of homes they sold in 2013.

Century 21 Affiliated currently operates 58 offices across Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Michigan. It is a full-service agency that became part of the Century 21 system in 1979. With over 1200 sales associates, the company was able to close 10,158 transactions resulting in over $1.5 Billion in sales volume in 2013.

The current president of Century 21 Affiliated, Dan Kruse, is no stranger to the real estate industry. After receiving his license as a sophomore in college, selling homes during his summer breaks, he went on to receive his undergrad degree and began taking the industry by storm. In 2013, Kruse’s progressive company launched a new and improved web site, recruited a host of top-producing agents and continued to strengthen their social media use, which have all contributed to the company’s tremendous sales success.

"We are extremely honored to be recognized as the No. 1 Century 21 company in the world. None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of the staff, leadership team and outstanding agents of Century 21 Affiliated. This accomplishment truly is a team effort and I couldn't be more proud of everyone involved in this organization!" said Kruse.

Part of the enormous growth the Century 21 Affiliated group experienced this past year was due to the rapid expansion of the Chicago offices. Thomas Bretz, a partner at Century 21 Affiliated, and the Chicago team have capitalized on the rebounding market in the city and outlying areas. According to Bretz, "Achieving the number 1 spot is extremely gratifying. It reassures us that our efforts do pay off in the end and that the market is back on our side."

Century 21 Affiliated will be honored at the Century 21 Global Conference held in Las Vegas, Nevada between March 17–21, 2014. The conference draws attendees from all over the world to strategize, network and learn about the latest industry tools.
