On January 15, 2026, CENTURY 21 New Millennium made headlines with the announcement of a pivotal leadership transition aimed at steering the company towards continued growth and innovation. Kim Harris Campbell, a seasoned professional with more than 20 years of experience in real estate, technology, and nonprofit sectors, has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This change sees Todd Hetherington, the founder and long-serving CEO, stepping into the role of chairman, where he will continue to provide strategic guidance alongside a newly formed board.
A Leader with Proven Expertise
Kim Harris Campbell is not a stranger to the challenges and complexities of leading large organizations. Most recently, she led the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions at Compass Real Estate, overseeing a team of over 8,000 employees and managed substantial financial portfolios, including a whopping $1 billion profit and loss statement. She was instrumental in Compass's 2021 Initial Public Offering (IPO) and has a track record of successful restructuring initiatives that raked in over $150 million in savings. Before her tenure at Compass, she co-founded America Needs You (ANY), a nonprofit dedicated to supporting first-generation college students in their pursuit of higher education.
A Vision for Growth
In her new role, Harris Campbell will work closely with Jason Carrier, the brokerage president, guiding a team of over 1,000 agents and staff across 23 offices located in Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. One of her primary objectives is to strengthen the company's integrated services platform, which includes mortgage, title, and insurance operations, thereby providing a comprehensive real estate service package to clients and agents alike.
"With people and culture at its core, CENTURY 21 New Millennium has built something special," stated Harris Campbell during her acceptance. She expressed deep respect for the legacy established by Hetherington, co-owner Mary Lynn Stone, and the entire team, noted for their commitment to exceptional service and a culture of growth and innovation. Harris Campbell's ambitious vision is to maintain and enhance this legacy, delivering the finest real estate experience to all stakeholders.
