About REMAX
Who We Are
Dave and Gail Liniger founded REMAX in Denver, Colorado in 1973. Upset with the bad name that poorly trained novices and casual part-timers were giving the real estate profession, the Linigers started REMAX as a real estate company that would limit itself to hiring only full-time, experienced professionals. They wanted a company where homebuyers and sellers could walk into any office in any market, confident they would receive the level of professional service that a transaction of such magnitude demands.
What began in 1973 as "a pad of paper and a dream" is now a global real estate franchise network that spreads across the world. Along the way, REMAX fundamentally changed the way the real estate industry conducts business.
In an industry rife with mergers and acquisitions, REMAX is the only major real estate network still owned and directed by its original founders.
Home of the Best Agents
By attracting the industry's best agents and providing them with training, support and the freedom to run their business, the REMAX network has a sales force second to none. REMAX Associates average more sales per agent and hold more professional designations than other salespeople. They have set industry heights in productivity by mastering the latest technologies, sales strategies, marketing innovations and business systems.
Premier Market Presence
REMAX's market share has grown continuously since 1973. This success arises from REMAX following a simple formula; combining quality, professional agents with its global brand awareness, premier web presence, high customer satisfaction and local community involvement. REMAX advances its growth by following a simple philosophy that "Everybody Wins."
Premier Customer Satisfaction
The success of the REMAX network depends on each REMAX Associate providing unparalleled satisfaction to each of his or her customers. Advanced education, technological expertise, and experience all translate into quality customer service and network growth, a real win-win result.
REMAX is one of the World's Most Recognized Real Estate Brands
The combined promotion of the REMAX brand by REMAX and its worldwide sales force has made the REMAX brand with its red, white, and blue balloon one of the most recognizable business brands in the world. REMAX also has the world's largest balloon fleet to help promote its brand awareness.
The REMAX Technology Edge
Throughout its history, REMAX has been on the forefront technologically and was one of the first real estate organizations to establish an Internet presence. To help its sales associates become better educated, REMAX provides all associates with quality on-line or satellite training. In 2006, REMAX updated remax.com to be the industry's first nationwide network of publicly accessible web sites to display all MLS residential homes for sale in the US. Lead Street, the industry's premier real estate lead generation system, available exclusively to its sales associates at no charge, is integrated with remax.com's property search.
The REMAX Concept: REMAX stands for "real estate maximums."
In exchange for paying a management fee and a share of the monthly office overhead, REMAX Associates keep the maximum allowed amount of their commissions and receive the many benefits of REMAX programs and services.
By offering Associates maximum commissions and maximum career freedom, REMAX influenced competitors to re-examine and adjust their own policies toward sales agents, thus dramatically changing the industry.
More than 30 Years Above the Crowd
Since 1973, REMAX has massively expanded its network and now has more then 6,500 office in 72 countries and territories on six continents. Young in years but mature in experience, REMAX looks ahead to even greater development and success in its next 30 years.
