RE/MAX

We develop and support a network of affiliated real estate brokerage offices that serve home buyers, sellers, and commercial clients under the RE/MAX name. Our offices provide licensed real estate brokerage services through independent, locally operated locations that are backed by shared branding, marketing materials, technology, referral support, and standardized operating tools. We use a high-commission model that allows licensed sales associates to keep a very large share of the commissions they earn, while paying office fees and other required charges. This model is designed to help attract and retain productive agents while giving customers professional real estate service in their local market. We operate across the United States, Canada, and other markets through direct regional operations and affiliated regional offices.
