We are excited to welcome Richard W. Davidson and his family to
our CENTURY 21 Everest Realty Group and Century 21 Troop Real

In early 2010, Rick was selected to lead Century 21 through a repositioning
and growth strategy for the brand, following a decade of lost market share and
a decline in industry reputation. With Rick at the helm, the team successfully
established and executed on a comprehensive strategy to regain market position
and reposition the brand within the industry and the consumer space.

the repositioning strategy, 2015 and 2016 represent the best growth years the
company has seen in a decade. For the past three years (2014, 2015, 2016) the
company was awarded Highest in Overall Customer Satisfaction across all four
