CENTURY 21 LOTUS broker/owner becomes sixth real estate professional affiliated with the CENTURY 21 brand to lead the organization
Acevedo's installation marks another milestone in the more than 20-year relationship between the CENTURY 21® brand and NAHREP, as well as the continuation of an extraordinary leadership legacy. With Acevedo's appointment, six national NAHREP presidents have now come from the CENTURY 21 network, underscoring the brand's longstanding commitment to advancing sustainable Hispanic wealth through homeownership. Acevedo succeeds Oralia Herrera, broker/owner of CENTURY 21 TK Realty Inc., who served as NAHREP's 2025 President, and Nora Aguirre of CENTURY 21 Americana, who served as the 2024 President, making this the third consecutive year a CENTURY 21–affiliated leader has held the organization's top role.
A respected industry leader, entrepreneur, and advocate, Acevedo has built his career around service, mentorship, and community impact. As founder and broker/owner of CENTURY 21 LOTUS, he has helped expand access to homeownership while cultivating future leaders within the real estate profession. His journey with NAHREP spans local, regional, and national leadership roles, where he has worked to amplify Hispanic voices and advance policies that support equitable housing opportunities.
Acevedo's installation took place alongside NAHREP's unveiling of its 2025 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report, which highlights both the progress and persistent challenges facing Hispanic households. The report reinforces the critical role Hispanic buyers continue to play in driving homeownership growth nationwide, while underscoring the need for continued advocacy, education, and access to resources.
"At the CENTURY 21 brand, our commitment to Hispanic homeownership runs deep, and Edwin's installation is a powerful reflection of what long-term partnership and leadership can achieve," said Mike Miedler, President and CEO of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. "Edwin represents the very best of our industry — a leader who has built his business on service, lifted others as he has grown, and understands that homeownership is about far more than a transaction. As NAHREP President, his passion for empowering families, building bridges across communities, and advocating for greater access and opportunity will help shape a stronger, more inclusive future for our industry."
Miedler added, "We are incredibly proud to see Edwin follow in the footsteps of leaders like Oralia Herrera and so many CENTURY 21 system members who have helped advance NAHREP's mission. This moment is not just about leadership — it's about legacy, community, and the collective power of expanding opportunity for Hispanic homeownership across the country."

With a vast network of independent brokers and agents — nearly 10 percent of whom identify as Spanish-speaking — the CENTURY 21 system remains committed to equipping real estate professionals with the tools, resources, and in-language support needed to serve today's diverse homebuyers, sellers, and investors.
