Inside RE/MAX


          

Who we are

What began in Denver, Colorado, in 1973 as "a pad of paper and a dream" is now a global real estate franchise network that spreads across over 75 countries and eight territories, on six continents.

 


Network size

The revolutionary RE/MAX Concept of enabling real estate professionals to maximise their business potential has evolved into an organisation of more than 95,000 Sales Associates in more than 6,500 offices worldwide.

 


RE/MAX Sales Associates

RE/MAX Associates, on average, lead the industry in production and experience. We call our salespeople Associates because they work professionally and take responsibility for their customer service delivery and results - much like partners in a medical or legal practice.

 


The RE/MAX Balloon logo

The red, white and blue RE/MAX Balloon, with its "Above the Crowd!®" slogan, is one of the most recognisable business logos in the world. With nearly 90 RE/MAX Hot Air Balloons around the globe, RE/MAX has the world's largest balloon fleet.

 


Global expansion

The first RE/MAX region outside the United States and Canada was the Caribbean Basin, opened in 1991. It was followed two years later by RE/MAX of Mexico. In 1995 RE/MAX expanded into Southern Africa, Spain, Israel, Italy and Germany. Since then, RE/MAX regions have become established in many more countries around the globe. RE/MAX arrived in New Zealand in 2003.

 


Record RE/MAX production

In 1999 RE/MAX Associates were involved in more than 1 million sales transaction sides within a single year in the United States alone - an industry milestone. The audited production figures represent the most transaction sides in a single year ever recorded by any real estate network. The RE/MAX network is now involved in over 2 million sales transactions per year.

 


The RE/MAX concept

RE/MAX stands for "real estate maximums."

By offering Associates better commission structures and maximum career freedom, RE/MAX influenced competitors to re-examine and adjust their own policies toward sales agents, thus dramatically changing the industry.


As the network grew, renowned for its top producers and quality service to consumers, so did support programs, making RE/MAX a dynamic force in real estate education and technology.

 
The organisation was one of the first real estate companies to have its own proprietary television network and one of the first in the industry to develop a website on the World Wide Web.

 


Committed to real estate service

In a business environment of mergers and acquisitions, RE/MAX is the only major international real estate network still owned and directed by its founders.

 

RE/MAX commitment to its membership has led to an ever-increasing number of accolades from the business community at large including selection of RE/MAX as the best in the business. RE/MAX International was named the number one real estate services franchise in the Entrepreneur Magazine's 2009 30th Annual "Franchise 500 Survey." RE/MAX has held the honour of the top real estate franchisor for nine of the past ten years.



37 Years "Above the Crowd!®"

RE/MAX - now an established industry leader - celebrated its 35th anniversary at the 2008 RE/MAX International Convention in Las Vegas. Young in years, but mature in experience, RE/MAX looks ahead to even greater development and success in its next thirty five years.
