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 54 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 an organization of more than 100,000 Sales Associates in more than 5,400 offices worldwide. RE/MAX Sales Associates RE/MAX Associates, on average, lead the industry in production, experience, and professional designations. 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. With nearly 90 RE/MAX Hot Air Balloons around the globe, RE/MAX has the world's largest balloon fleet.

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, in Australia, and in South America.

Record RE/MAX Production
In 2004, for the 8th year in a row, RE/MAX Associates were involved in more than 1 million sales transaction sides.
 

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 January 2005, "Entrepreneur" magazine ranked RE/MAX among the top 10 franchises in its 26th Annual Franchise 500 survey. It also named RE/MAX: "Best of the Best" for real estate services; the highest-ranking real estate franchise in "Low Cost Franchises"; and No. 7 overall in "America's Top Global Franchises."

More than 30 Years Above the Crowd
RE/MAX - now an established industry leader - celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2003. Young in years but mature in experience, RE/MAX looks ahead to even greater development and success in its next quarter century.
