RE/MAX FOR AGENTS ONLY
RE/MAX - Stands for "REAL ESTATE MAXIMUMS." The Company was founded only 36 years ago by Dave Liniger. Since then, RE/MAX has grown to be the largest Real Estate franchise in the world. Every year since 1997, RE/MAX Agents have closed over a million transactions in the United States alone. Now an International Company, Re/Max is found in 65 countries, 9 territories and conducts business in over 50 languages. RE/MAX and has over 115,267 agents operating out of over 7,028 offices. RE/MAX does more business than any other Real Estate company in the world, including Century 21, Caldwell Banker and the other franchises. RE/MAX agents average 13 years experience, have more designations per agent and average of 3 times the business per agent of any other franchise or company's agents. Outstanding Agents - Outstanding Results.
This also means that RE/MAX has the largest referral network in the world. Add to this the direct designation referrals and you can see that RE/MAX offices receive more referrals of qualified out of town buyers than any other company. The RE/MAX Balloon and motto "Above the Crowd" are recognized everywhere. So is the logo "OUTSTANDING AGENTS - OUTSTANDING RESULTS". In 2006, RE/Max launched it's National IDX (Internet Data Exchange) Where anyone can go to www.remax.com and look for the available listings from all companies in any given area. This makes RE/MAX a one stop shopping center, and the site is backed by the largest Television advertising package of any company or franchise. In fact, RE/MAX is 52% of the total Real Estate television adds run.
What makes RE/MAX different? The first reason is the agent. Re/Max is not set up to incubate new agents. The focal point is to reach seasoned professionals who know their job and do not want or need mentors. These select agents want to run their own business without interference. RE/MAX recognizes that true professionals require the latest in technology and equipment and are not satisfied with just a large bay full of desk and cubicles. Professionals want to control their cost and maximize the rewards from their efforts. Therefore, they will work harder for themselves and their clients, because it is their business; not their brokers.
Each agent has their own business and chooses their office type and equipment and run their own unique business. This allows personal attention to detail, flexibility to protect the client's best interest and the maximum freedom to realize each agent's business potential. RE/MAX encourages experimentation, self promotion and technological change. This has changed the market place forever. The emphasis is on the professional, not the company. RE/MAX realizes that it is the agent and not the company that makes things happen. This is a drastic change from traditional companies.
As a result, the average RE/MAX agent has over thirteen years of experience. They are more likely to be Brokers instead of just agents. RE/MAX agents also have more designations per agent than any other company. Designations are advanced education courses, tests and recognition for your accomplishments by the National Association of Realtors and other organizations. Some of these are CRS - Certified Residential Specialist, ABR - Accredited Buyers Representative, GRI Graduate of the Realtor Institute, etc.. Only 2 to 5% of all the Realtors have any of these designations. RE/MAX agents often have four to six designations. Designations are marks of experience and dedication to the profession. The fact that Re/Max agents have more designations and experience, explains why Re/Max agents out sell their competition 3 to 1 in agent volume.
At Re/Max, you pay your fair share of the expenses, just like any other business. Traditional companies pay the expenses, but they also tell the agent how, when and where to work. This is often seen in companies refusing to display photographs to advertise listings, setting commissions and commission splits with other companies, demanding office meetings and other employer/employee behaviors of their agents. At RE/MAX the agent is in business for them self, but not by them self. The agent's make their business decisions. RE/MAX is based on actual cost not the profit split. The difference is customer satisfaction..
RE/MAX agents recognize that to give you the best service, they have to be the best educated and most qualified. Designations, type of license and reputation are means by which the community can evaluate the competence and experience of an agent. Buying or selling a home is a major financial decision. It requires honest, knowledgeable and accurate information. It is YOUR money. Having surgery by an intern may work out, but wouldn't you rather have a surgeon who has successfully done the procedure a few hundred times? Real Estate is no different than medicine, it is an art not a science. There are always problems, but the experienced agent makes them go away before they bother you.
To help, RE/MAX has an educational satellite network and beams the latest in Real Estate trends, continuing education and technological updates to each agent in each office every day. RE/MAX also has the largest franchise web presence, so you can see RE/MAX listings 24/7 all over the world. These services keep RE/MAX agents on the cutting edge of the current market. RE/MAX advertising and recognition are universal. Everyone knows the balloon, it is one of the most recognized brands in the world.
RE/MAX is a major sponsor the Children's Miracle Network, a charity that funds local medical schools, hospitals and clinics for children. RE/MAX is also a major sponsor of the Koman Run for the Cure to help research the cure for breast cancer. RE/MAX also sponsors Nascar and Truck racing teams, balloon flights and other promotions to keep the RE/MAX name out in front of the public at all times. The growth of RE/MAX has been phenomenal, unprecedented in any industry. The better idea with the best people. Outstanding Agents - Outstanding Results
