About RE/MAX

Each office is independently owned and operated.

We're the Real Estate Leaders. No one in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX.

RE/MAX at a glance:

Who we are
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.

Network size
The revolutionary RE/MAX Concept of enabling real estate professionals to maximize their business potential has evolved into a network of more than 100,000 Sales Associates in more than 65 countries and more than 7,000 offices.

RE/MAX Sales Associates
RE/MAX Associates, on average, lead the industry in production, experience, and professional designations.

Customer Satisfaction
The proof of quality service is in repeat customers and in customers who refer RE/MAX Associates to friends who are embarking on the home buying process. RE/MAX Sales Associates average 70 percent of their business from repeats and referrals, while other agents average about 30 percent from those sources.

The RE/MAX Balloon logo
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. RE/MAX boasts a fleet of more than 120 Hot Air Balloons, which allows for more than 6,000 appearances around the world each year.

An industry leader
RE/MAX is the No. 1 real estate organization in Canada and in the United States.

Global expansion
With offices in more than 65 countries worldwide, the power of the RE/MAX name boosts business and attracts consumers who are in the midst of the home buying process. The continuous expansion into remote parts of the world means more visibility and endless possibilities.

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 has repeated the feat ever since.

The RE/MAX Concept
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.

Committed to real estate service
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.

More than 35 Years Above the Crowd
RE/MAX - now an established industry leader - celebrated 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.

Community Involvement
Community involvement is highly valued at all levels of the RE/MAX organization - from individual Associates to RE/MAX offices, regions, and RE/MAX International.

RE/MAX cause marketing and charity fund raising take on many forms:

Most 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, the private course of RE/MAX International co-founders Dave and Gail Liniger.

RE/MAX International is the first major sponsor of The Wildlife Experience, a conservation and community center promoting understanding of the natural world and its conservation through art and education.

All these venues and more represent the RE/MAX network's commitment to community involvement, serving the public beyond its real estate needs.
