RE/MAX International is an international real estate company. It was founded in 1973 by David and Gail Liniger in Denver, Colorado and is still owned by its founders.
RE/MAX International oversees a network of more than 99,000 agents in more than 65 countries with more than 5,900 offices. The network is made up of more than 70 regions, varying in size from a metropolitan area to an entire country. The RE/MAX franchise network is described as "a global real estate system of franchisee owned and operated offices and their affiliated independent professionals". [1]
The company owns several of its own regional franchises as well as overseeing and licensing individual franchises for real estate sales offices, each individually owned and operated. RE/MAX International collects monthly and annual dues from its agents who act as independent contractors working under real estate brokers in many countries. In return, it provides its brokers and agents with corporate services eg. agent training and advertising.
Its agents operate out of over 6,000 offices worldwide. The company logo is a hot air balloon; the company slogans, "Above the Crowd", "It's the Experience", "Nobody in the World Sells More Real Estate than RE/MAX.". Real RE/MAX balloons sometimes appear at balloon festivals.
In January 2007 the Swanepoel TRENDS Report 2007 ranked RE/MAX as one of the three most valuable established real estate franchise brands in the nation. [2]
