Henry L. Kaplan
has been immersed in the real estate profession since 1984, bringing more than
four decades of experience across sales, brokerage ownership, management,
franchising, and technology.

He began his
career as a sales associate in New York and quickly gravitated toward real
estate technology at the dawn of the personal computer era. That early insight
led to him being hired by Weichert Realtors, where he managed the firm’s
centralized database of new listings and inventory and distributed that
information across eight offices in the New York market—well ahead of its time.

In 1988, Henry
founded HLK Realty and Rockland Rentals, in New City NY, successfully building
the company until its sale in 1991 to CENTURY 21 Rand Realty in New City, New
York. He then managed CENTURY 21 Rand’s rental division for several years,
further refining his operational and leadership skills.

Henry’s career
next brought him to Century 21 Headquarters in Parsippany, New Jersey, where he
created and led the Franchise Orientation Department. In this national role, he
helped onboard and support new franchises across the country, contributing meaningfully
to the brand’s growth.

A few years
later, Henry transitioned into the real estate services field as a Regional
Services Director, consulting with 93 brokerages across 154 Florida offices.
This role offered him a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective on what truly
drives brokerage success and agent productivity.

After a brief
sabbatical, Henry returned to CENTURY 21 in management and ultimately joined
CENTURY 21 Tenace Realty in 2007, where he presently serves as Sales Manager
for nearly 20 years, mentoring 300+ agents, building careers, and helping
professionals navigate both changing markets and evolving technology. On top of
all this, Henry maintains an active Florida Real Estate license and is not a
competing manager, working exclusively within his personal sphere of more than
12,000 long-standing contacts. He remains deeply engaged in the ever-changing
real estate market, believing that staying informed and intellectually sharp is
essential to leading and supporting agents effectively.

Originally from
Rockland County, New York, Henry now resides in Florida. He is married to Nancy
Kaplan and is the proud father of one son, Ethan. Outside of real estate, Henry
and Nancy enjoy hosting Texas Hold’em charity poker tournaments benefiting Easterseals
of West Palm Beach, tending to their large garden, kayaking, traveling,
and—when time permits—occasionally resting.
