About
RE/MAX
We're
the Real Estate Leaders.
No one
in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX.
RE/MAX
at a glance:
What
began in Denver, Colo., in 1973 as "a pad of
paper and a dream" is now a global real estate
franchise network that spreads across 39 countries
and eight territories, on six continents.
The
revolutionary RE/MAX Concept of enabling
real estate professionals
to maximize their business potential has
evolved into an organization of more than
72,000 Sales Associates in more than 4,200
offices worldwide. |

RE/MAX
Associates,
on average, lead the industry in production,
experience, and professional designations.
The
red, white and blue RE/MAX Balloon, with its
"Above the Crowd!®"slogan, is one
of the most recognizable 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.
RE/MAX
is the No. 1 real estate organization in Canada
and in the United States.
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 across Europe, in Asia, and in Australia.
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 has repeated the feat ever
since.
RE/MAX
stands for "real estate maximums."
In
exchange for paying a management fee and a share
of the monthly office overhead, RE/MAX Associates
keep the maximum allowed amount of their commissions
and receive the many benefits of RE/MAX programs
and services.
By
offering Associates maximum commissions 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
organization 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 site on the World Wide Web.
In
a business environment of mergers and acquisitions,
RE/MAX is the only major 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. In
its annual ranking of top franchises, Entrepreneur
magazine named RE/MAX the number one real
estate services franchise in 2000. On the
consumer front, Worth magazine honored
RE/MAX in both 1999 and 2000 with its prestigious
"Readers' Choice" award as the best real estate
brokerage. |
RE/MAX
- now an established industry leader - will celebrate
its 30th anniversary at the 2003 RE/MAX International
Convention. Young in years but mature in experience,
RE/MAX looks ahead to even greater development and
success in its next quarter century.

Involvement

Community
involvement is highly valued at all
levels of the RE/MAX organization -

offices, regions, and RE/MAX International.
RE/MAX
cause marketing and charity fund raising
take on many forms:

recently, RE/MAX has become a national co-sponsor
of the Breast Cancer Survivor Recognition Program
at Komen Race for the Cure® events.
The RE/MAX organization has been the official
real estate sponsor of the Children's
Miracle Network since 1992.
Each year, about 20 charities host fund-raising
golf tournaments at Sanctuary,

Dave and Gail Liniger.
RE/MAX International is the first major sponsor
of The Wildlife
Experience, a conservation and community

world and its conservation through art and education.
