The History of RE/MAX
Dave and Gail Liniger
founded RE/MAX in Denver, Colo., in 1973, prompted by
their dissatisfaction with the way real estate business
was conducted at the time.
Regardless of an operation's size, most real estate
offices used the commission-split system, requiring
sales professionals to forfeit half of their commissions
to their brokers in exchange for an office environment
and company services. The top producers contributed the
most to the operation's overhead, thus supporting the
amateur, part-time and low-producing agents. Most
salespeople left the business within two years, making
residential real estate a high-turnover industry
comprising in large part inexperienced and
unprofessional staffs. The Linigers wanted to change all
that.
They believed that to attract and retain the best agents
in the business, brokers must offer them maximum
compensation, advanced support services and the freedom
they need to succeed. Agents would share office overhead
and pay management fees, and in return would receive a
wide variety of traditional real estate franchise
services and high commissions. The strategy worked.
RE/MAX has grown every single month for more than 30
years. Very few companies with a worldwide presence can
make such a claim.
Recognized by the homebuying and selling public for its
red, white and blue hot air balloon logo, RE/MAX has
been the No. 1 residential real estate network in Canada
since 1987 and is a leading industry force in the United
States and many other regions.
The most significant growth for RE/MAX in recent years
has come outside the United States, with expansion into
Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Central America,
Europe, Mexico, New Zealand and South America. RE/MAX
takes proven techniques and adapts them to local
markets, thereby developing a series of tools that real
estate professionals find invaluable.
Some of the innovative services created by RE/MAX
International to help its members become ever more
professional and successful include relocation and asset
management, commercial investment, an international
referral network, advanced training courses,
state-of-the-art technological tools, Internet and
extranet Web sites, and national television advertising
campaigns. It was the first - and remains the only -
real estate network to invent and maintain a satellite
television network, RE/MAX Satellite Network,
dedicated to real estate professionals.
In an industry rife with mergers and acquisitions,
RE/MAX is the only major real estate network still owned
and directed by its original founders. |
