• An Industry Leader
  RE/MAX is the No. 1 real estate organization in Canada and in the United States.
  
• 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 across Europe, in Asia, and in Australia.
  
• Record RE/MAX Production
  In 1997, 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 this 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 fastest-growing real estate services franchise in 2002. 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 30 Years Above the Crowd
  RE/MAX - now an established industry leader - celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Young in years but mature in experience, RE/MAX looks ahead to even greater development and success in its next quarter century.

RE/MAX agents are the most productive.

That basic concept enabled RE/MAX (Real Estate Maximums) to grow into the most productive organization the industry has seen. RE/MAX agents on average have more experience and sell more homes than other agents in the industry.

A former top agent himself, Liniger set up RE/MAX offices so that agents would equally share expenses of the operation. That meant each agent had to be skilled enough to generate the income needed to pay a set fee every month. Traditionally, office owners required agents to pay the office half their earnings to cover operating expenses.

The traditional structure was a great deal for beginners, part-timers and marginal producers. They could go months without selling a house and not be out any of their own dollars. For these agents, the thought of facing a monthly bill for office expenses was terrifying. Only the most experienced, competent and successful agents saw benefits to the RE/MAX system.

Success breeds success. And interestingly enough, once true professionals started working together in the same office, their skills improved even more. It was a classic case of improving your golf game by playing with better golfers.

The RE/MAX approach had a profound impact on the industry, and today there are many imitators. But none has yet been able to match the level of professionalism held by RE/MAX agents.

RE/MAX agents average 12 years of experience, far exceeding the industry average. They also surpass their peers in professional designations - a sign of advanced education in real estate sales and marketing.

In 1997 alone, RE/MAX was involved in over 1 Million transactions sides, an industry milestone.

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