- 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.

real estate companies to have its own proprietary television network and
one of the first in the industry to develop its own home page on the
World Wide Web.

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. Early in 1996, Income
Opportunities magazine named RE/MAX
the No. 1 real estate franchise; later in the year, it recognized the
organization with its Franchise Relations Award, the ultimate honor for
a franchise network. Entrepreneur magazine ranked
RE/MAX twelfth
place in its 1996 survey of all U.S. franchisors.

an established industry
leader - celebrated its silver anniversary at the 1998
