The affiliation provides Glickman's brokerage with access to Century 21's technology, marketing, and resources. *originally published in Franchising.com on 2026-07-09.

Following her decade spent in academics, Glickman realized she wanted to pursue a career that would allow her to combine her analytical expertise with strategy and service, which led her to real estate. In the 25 years since, she has represented nearly 1,000 home sales and had her success featured in outlets including Real Producers Magazine, the Las Vegas Review Journal, and the television show The American Dream TV. Today, Glickman and her agents provide residents throughout the Las Vegas Valley, including Las Vegas, Henderson, Pahrump, Laughlin, and Boulder City, with comprehensive residential real estate services. Glickman herself has 30 years of experience living in Las Vegas to draw from, as well as specializations in luxury and investment properties, which she regularly leverages to assist with properties above a one-million-dollar price point. As part of Century 21 Real Estate, Glickman and her independent sales professionals will have access to CENTURY 21's technology, marketing, lead generation, agent learning, and coaching. The brand's recognition and resources will complement the brokerage's day-to-day operations, as agents relocate from other markets who are familiar with CENTURY 21. Glickman also plans to tap into the brand's centralized technology stack to provide more scalable systems and allow for more streamlined, intentional agent recruitment and training. “I’ve spent 25 years building our brokerage on the belief that education and strategy are what separate good agents from great ones,” said Glickman. “Joining the CENTURY 21® brand gives us the infrastructure to take that belief to a much larger scale. We believe that agents thrive when they are equipped to build sustainable, long-term business, while clients thrive when they have an agent in their corner who can offer high-level business strategy and hyper-personalized service. That’s why we knew this affiliation was the right move for our firm.” Despite her departure from academia over 20 years ago, Glickman’s firm still operates on many of the same principles that made her a successful academic leader for over ten years, namely, its focus on education, problem-solving, and analytical thinking. Glickman has instilled a genuine joy within her agents for helping clients navigate the real estate process and for developing thorough, educational strategies. Regardless of their analytical approach, however, Glickman, dubbed the “Joy Doctor,” still places equal emphasis on the human side of the business and helping clients and agents alike discover their purpose through real estate. “Real estate is truly the best of both worlds for me,” said Glickman. “I still get to be part of helping people through a process, finding solutions, and problem-solving, while also helping clients achieve their lifestyle goals. I truly love seeing people do well, and I won’t hesitate to help others push the boundaries of their success.” The Las Vegas metropolitan area has experienced rapid growth over the years, particularly since the pandemic, welcoming over 120,000 additional residents since 2020, per the Las Vegas Review Journal. Much of this population growth has been driven by migration from higher-cost states, as employees and families alike flock to the valley as its hospitality and entertainment industries continue to boom. To meet this growing demand, homebuilders and developers continue to build new properties ranging from massive luxury residences and investment properties in the desert to relatively low-cost housing closer to the strip. “The Las Vegas Valley continues to be one of the most dynamic and fast-growing real estate markets in the country, and welcoming a brokerage with a 20-year history of serving that community is an exciting moment for the CENTURY 21 brand,” said Mike Miedler, President and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. “Cynthia has expertly leveraged her background as an academic leader to position her brokerage as a trustworthy, go-to resource for people in the area. Her ability to apply analytical and critical thinking skills to her brokerage’s everyday operations, combined with the tools that the CENTURY 21 brand has to offer, should continue to set Elevate apart in a highly competitive market.” ## Entities - Franchising.com (publication) - brand expansion (topic) - Real Estate (sector) - LAS VEGAS (location) - CENTURY 21 (company) - Mike Miedler (person) - real estate affiliation (topic) - brokerage partnership (topic) - Cynthia Glickman (person) - Elevate (company) --- Originally reported by Franchising.com (https://www.franchising.com/news/20260709_the_century_21_brand_fortifies_its_presence_in_las_vegas_with_latest_affili.html).
