C21 Appoints Head of Growth to Spearhead Expansion

Century 21 has appointed Sabeen Akbani to the role of Head of Growth and Partnerships.

The highly energetic and experienced growth professional has a strong real estate background. Most recently she held the role of Business Growth Director at the prop tech business, Before You Bid, where she notably drove their aggressive growth as well-built relationships and corporate partnerships with top real estate brands.

"I am really looking forward to leveraging my industry experience and passion to drive growth for Century 21 in the strategic regions we want to focus on," Ms Akbani said.

The appointment of Ms Akbani comes as Century 21 celebrates another very successful year. Commenting on the announcement, James Bell, CEO Century 21 Australasia, said that the appointment of Ms Akbani demonstrates Century 21's continual focus on growth, with Ms Akbani the ideal person for the role.

"We are thrilled to have Sabeen join the Century 21 team. Her solid sales experience, extensive industry alliances, and passion will power Sabeen to be a driving force behind our ambitious expansion plan," said Mr Bell.

When looking for her next career challenge, Sabeen was focused on joining a business that she could be passionate about. While she was approached by a number of real estate brands, it was the offering that Century 21 provide its networks that excited her the most. As a global household name, Century 21 has a culture that is focused on recruiting like-minded agents and providing them with countless opportunities to network, develop, and excel professionally.

"During my time with Before You Bid, I was exposed to the various offerings that real estate networks provide their affiliates. However, it's the unique value proposition that Century 21 provide network members that impressed me. The brand has key points of difference that set them apart in the industry and makes them invaluable to any real estate professional looking to run their own business." said Ms Akbani.

Ms Akabni's appointment follows the appointment of Michael Spork in the role of Growth Manager, bolstering the growth team. Mr Spork is an experienced sales and business development leader, and a licensed real estate agent with a career spanning over 25 years. His passion for real estate emerged whilst launching a content marketing platform for residential agents in 2015. This led him to run his own successful residential and commercial client portfolios in both Brisbane and Sydney.

Now operating in 87 countries, Century 21 has grown to 15,000 offices, with over 160,000 agents in the continuously expanding network. In addition to innovative technology, and industry-leading training, C21 network affiliates benefit from the universal awareness that being the largest residential real estate brand in the world affords.
