 When an agent joins RE/MAX, he or she becomes part of a global network of quality real estate professionals. What began in a single office in Denver, Colo., has grown over a quarter of a century into an international network of over 100,000 Associates in more than 4,000 offices worldwide.
It's no accident that the name "RE/MAX" stands for "real estate maximums." Or that the RE/MAX logo is a balloon flying free "Above the Crowd!" At RE/MAX, quality people who are serious about excelling in the real estate business have the freedom to realize their full business potential. At RE/MAX, your success is limited only by your ability, determination, and hard work, not by restrictions one finds in conventional real estate companies.
Associate Flexibility
-
Negotiation of Commission Rates
Sales agents with conventional companies work within a rate established by the particular firm. It's different at RE/MAX, where you have the flexibility to negotiate commission rates with customers. This freedom can benefit both you and the customer, especially in the case of specialized properties requiring higher commission rates and innovative marketing.
- Control of Work Schedule
Having the freedom of being in business for yourself, you can set your own income goals at RE/MAX and plan the use of your time accordingly. If you were formerly on a commission split at a conventional company, you can at RE/MAX earn the same income you did before, can earn more in the same amount of time, or substantially more with longer hours.
- Freedom in Advertising
While all RE/MAX Associates contribute to group advertising funds, Associates themselves determine how they want to invest their own individual advertising and personal promotion. At RE/MAX, it's the Associate - not the Broker/Owner - who decides how much he or she should spend on advertising and which media to use in order to best serve customers.

In 1999, RE/MAX Associates were involved in more than 1 million sales transaction sides within a single year in the United States alone – an industry milestone. The audited production figures represent the most transaction sides in a single year ever recorded by any real estate network. The RE/MAX network has repeated the feat ever since.
- 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 reexamine 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 its annual ranking of top franchises, Entrepreneur magazine named RE/MAX the number one real estate services franchise in 2000. On the consumer front, Worth magazine honored RE/MAX in both 1999 and 2000 with its prestigious "Readers' Choice" award as the best real estate brokerage.
More than 25 Years Above the Crowd
RE/MAX - now an established industry leader - celebrated its silver anniversary at the 1998 RE/MAX International Convention. Young in years but mature in experience, RE/MAX looks ahead to even greater development and success in its next quarter century.
