≈11,000 offices worldwide, according to Century 21’s undated brand page. Dated or undated source observations are not a live physical-site census or verification of individual current franchise owners. Source and observation dates remain distinct. Approximately 11,000 is an approximation, not an exact count or a guaranteed lower bound. Exact worldwide count and lower bound remain null. Current original official HTML and reader agree; the page provides no count census date. September 14, 2026 is observation only. Approximate 126,000+ agents and 80 countries/territories are separate dimensions, not office counts. The prior FY2024 Anywhere table states 10,986 franchised Century21 offices at December 31, 2024. It is historical differently dated evidence, not a precision upgrade for this undated approximate headline. Anywhere became a Compass subsidiary on January 9, 2026. Corporate group changes do not conflate distinct consumer brands or create new catalog profiles.
