RE/MAX Real Estate Agents

RE/MAX (Real Estate Maximum) International was founded and is still owned by David and Gail Liniger in 1973 in Denver, Colorado. Due to its franchise system, today it has more than 7,200 offices in more than 80 countries with around 90,000 total agents. Its agents act as independent contractors that pay monthly and annual dues for the corporate services RE/MAX provides, including agent training and advertising.

RE/MAX started with 21 agents in 1973 with the concept of letting any buyer or seller walk into an office and know they are speaking with professional and experienced agents. Liniger was not interested in part-time agents and instead wanted those that are serious about the real estate industry.

RE/MAX has residential and commercial real estate services in the United States, Canada, and worldwide. Its worldwide franchises are found in Asia, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Europe, Southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Each franchise is independently owned and operated.

Today RE/MAX is one of the top real estate franchises with listings in thousands of cities and towns across the globe. Its website is dedicated to providing homebuyers and sellers with information about real estate in their area, mortgage tools and articles they can find valuable regarding the real estate industry.
