RE/MAX: Take a Step Above the Crowd

Interested in owning a franchise associated with one of the largest and most successful real estate organizations in the world?

RE/MAX is steadily expanding its network of franchised real estate offices across North America, the Caribbean, Europe, Southern Africa, Central America, South America, Australia and Asia. Each of our more than 6,000 offices is independently owned and operated.

Out in Front®
RE/MAX International moved from last year's No. 10 position to No. 8 for 2006 in Entrepreneur magazine's 27th Annual Franchise 500® study. RE/MAX also ranks as Best of the Best for real estate services for the sixth time in seven years, and sits at No. 9 in the Top Global Franchises list. RE/MAX is listed as No. 4 among Top Low-Cost Franchises and No. 11 among Fastest-Growing Franchises.

Home of the Best Agents®
In a RE/MAX office, Sales Associates keep the maximum amount of their commissions in exchange for equitably sharing office expenses and paying a monthly management fee to the Broker/Owner. All RE/MAX Affiliates enjoy the full range of competitive advantages and RE/MAX benefits.

When you buy a RE/MAX franchise, you build an office by recruiting full-time top agents in the market. Broker/Owners provide leadership and high quality offices, but do not bear the responsibility for training beginners.

Work With Top Industry Professionals
RE/MAX links a fair and equitable brokerage management system with a powerful brand, extensive support services – and respect for entrepreneurial spirit. The result: a formula for agent success unmatched in the industry.

That's why RE/MAX brokerages attract top-producing real estate agents. RE/MAX Associates average more sales per agent and hold more professional designations than other salespeople. They set industry heights in productivity by mastering the latest technologies, sales strategies, marketing innovations and business systems. That translates into an annual average of more than 20 transaction sides per agent.

In Business For Yourself, Not By Yourself
RE/MAX has the most comprehensive, advanced and accessible agent and owner training in the industry.

With new franchise owners, the training begins with a weeklong course in Denver that covers every detail of operating a RE/MAX brokerage. Content ranges from planning a grand opening to improving your one-on-one recruiting skills.

Attendees of a typical class of 60 owners forge lifelong friendships, staying in touch with fellow classmates by exchanging referrals and sharing insights. These friendships are often renewed at the annual RE/MAX International Convention and annual Summer Conference for Broker/Owners and Managers. Both events offer brokerage management training, including a two-day advanced course on fiscal management, profitability, recruiting, retention and office policies.

RE/MAX Satellite Network
The rest of the real estate industry has nothing to compare with the RE/MAX Satellite Network. RSN® beams educational, motivational and technological programming free to subscribers at their homes and RE/MAX offices. RSN is the centerpiece of RE/MAX technology.

Without the time and expense of travel, whether across town or across the country, RE/MAX Associates and administrative staffs in North America benefit daily from RSN educational programming. Agents in the United States also can receive RSN at home via DISH Network.

More than 21,000 registrants have obtained continuing education and professional designation credits via RSN. Courses are offered throughout the year and feature the industry’s top trainers and educators focusing on the latest, hottest topics.

Many RE/MAX Satellite Network programs also focus on office management. And both RSN and the conventions offer courses worth credit toward the Certified Real Estate Brokerage Manager (CRB) designation.

National Television Advertising
Award-winning RE/MAX advertising helps RE/MAX Broker/Owners recruit Sales Associates, while it helps Sales Associates gain listings and sell homes.

It's a win-win situation. National advertising in the United States generates more than 5 billion impressions annually - more than any other real estate network.

Right now someone somewhere is watching a RE/MAX TV commercial or reading a RE/MAX print ad.

RE/MAX Knows Its Customer
Who are our customers? Our Broker/Owners and Sales Associates, of course. They are the key to our success.

We offer our customers all the support tools and services they need to become the success they want to be. Basic and advanced Broker/Owner training, the RE/MAX Satellite Network, the RE/MAX Times newspapers, conventions, award-winning national advertising, online services, the RE/MAX agent-to-agent referral system, relocation and affinity programs, and classes for advanced designations. The list goes on and on.

We know what Broker/Owners need to recruit top agents because that's what we do, every day of the week.

RE/MAX Has Grown Every Month Since Starting In 1973
We've gained more Sales Associates in the last 10 years than some of our national competitors have in their entire histories!

It's a fact. There's no stopping RE/MAX success.

Today there are more than 115,000 RE/MAX Associates in more than 6,100 offices in more than 60 countries.

Nobody in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX.

Professional Full-Time, Human Support
All national real estate networks are not the same. None of them measures up to RE/MAX when it comes to the services and support you need to be successful.

When you need help with your business, a RE/MAX franchise development consultant is only a phone call away.

At RE/MAX you are our customer. We believe your success is our success. That's why we're there for you when you need us.

Brand-Name Awareness
Quality, integrity, professionalism, experience. It all goes with the RE/MAX name.

The RE/MAX name, its trademarked hot air balloon symbol, its registered slogans - they are all yours to use when you become part of the RE/MAX family.

RE/MAX is one of the best-known names in the world. And one of the most respected, too. It's a fact - buyers and sellers flock to RE/MAX.
