Real estate professionals Dave and Gail Liniger founded RE/MAX in 1973 with the idea that the best real estate organizations are built around the agent.

Today, RE/MAX remains true to that same philosophy – and has become the world’s top-producing real estate network, with more than 100,000 agents in more than 65 countries.

RE/MAX Sales Associates have surpassed 1 million transaction sides every year since 1997. Proof of quality service lies in repeat customers – and in clients who refer RE/MAX to their friends and family. Many RE/MAX Associates earn the bulk of their business from repeats and referrals.

Long symbolizing the fact that dreams come true – for customers and Associates alike – the RE/MAX red-over-white-over-blue design is known around the world.

• A fleet of approximately 120 RE/MAX Hot Air Balloons • Innumerable yard signs in neighborhoods • Billions of dollars invested in RE/MAX advertising worldwide • Billions of television advertising impressions annually

Led by real estate professionals who understand the needs of experienced agents, RE/MAX continues to create programs and services that foster professional development. Here are just a few:

• LeadStreet® online lead-generation and management system • RE/MAX Mainstreet® extranet • RE/MAX University • RE/MAX Design Center

Today, RE/MAX Associates aid real estate buyers and sellers in more than 65 countries on six continents. From Vancouver to Sydney, from Philadelphia to Mexico City, from Lisbon to Cape Town, consumers view RE/MAX messages: print

and television ads, billboards, yard signs, personal promotion materials. And they can search listings in each one of these nations on regional Web sites accessible through remax.com. This powerful worldwide sales force has introduced the RE/MAX brand to millions of potential homebuyers and sellers in markets as diverse as the Associates themselves.

• More than 100,000 agents • Long record of growth • Ongoing global expansion

AdvAntAge: re/maX

North American GrowthThe success of RE/MAX in North America provides the foundation and blueprint for others. The earliest pioneers made RE/MAX the Denver market leader in 1977 – only four years after the network was founded. Today, the U.S. sales force stands at more than 75,000 Associates.

RE/MAX is No. 1 in:

In Canada, which saw its first RE/MAX office in Calgary in 1977, the network has held No. 1 market share nationally since 1987. The Canadian sales force exceeds 18,000 Associates.

RE/MAX is tops in: • Toronto • Edmonton• Quebec City • Calgary• Vancouver • Winnipeg• Montreal • Many other markets

More than 1,000 Associates have joined the network in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, Argentina, Chile and Venezuela.

Expansion has accelerated this decade, and the network now has a strong presence in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.

RE/MAX understands that the core strength of the network is the quality of its Sales Associates. From the start, the network’s focus has been to provide high-quality agents with tools and services to help them thrive.

By attracting top agents and providing them with training, support and the freedom to run their businesses as they see fit, the network has developed a premier real estate sales force.

One tangible measure of professional excellence is advanced designations earned by agents committed to honing their skills. By wide margins, RE/MAX leads the industry in agents with certified training in:

• Working with buyers (Accredited Buyer Representatives)

• Sales and purchase of homes (Certified Residential Specialists)

• Working with senior clients (Seniors Real Estate Specialists)

While real estate production, skills and leadership are key aspects of the network’s character, they are only part of the story for individual agents.

RE/MAX Associates enjoy the time, money and career freedom to live as they wish. Manyfind fulfillment in working with charities such as Children’s Miracle Network or Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Others work with youth athletic teams, community groups and many other

causes. RE/MAX Associates understand that the qualities leading to success in real estate also lead to happiness in life.

For more than 100,000 professionals, those qualities have led to RE/MAX.

“I joined RE/MAX in 1987, only five months into my real estate career. At my former office I was in the top three performers three out of five months and I began to suspect I couldn’t learn from anyone I was working with. At RE/MAX, it took me a full year to make it into the top three – and that was far more mean-ingful, due to the caliber of agents I had outperformed. We have over 40 percent

market share in Edmonton and that gives even a new agent instant credibility in the marketplace. Not once have I ever considered working anywhere else – not when I work with the best, learn from the best and compete with the best.”

The day you join RE/MAX, the world knows your name. Through the power of more than 35 years of aggressive advertising and promotion, the RE/MAX name, RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon logo and red-over-white-over-blue bars have become among the most-recognizable images in real estate.

Advertising On hit television shows and radio broadcasts of top sporting events, the glossy pages of some of the world’s most popular magazines, and online, RE/MAX advertisements are ubiquitous around the world.

Television • RE/MAX ads air during NFL Sunday Night

Football games on NBC, and on hit shows

such as “CSI,” “Numb3rs” and “Dancing with the Stars” on the major networks – as well as on numerous English and Spanish cable networks.

• In 2007, nearly 7,000 RE/MAX TV ads aired in the United States, generating 7.8 billion adult impressions.

• In the first half of 2008, more than 3,600 RE/MAX TV commercials aired, generating

3.87 billion impressions. Through the first half of 2008, the RE/MAX share of voice in U.S. national TV advertising was 45 percent – meaning close to half of all real estate ads were RE/MAX.

Since 2000, RE/MAX U.S. national television advertising has created 33.8 billion impressions among adults 18 and over – including 16.2 billion in 2006 and 2007 alone.

• Billions of advertising dollars invested • One of real estate’s best-known logos • Strong sports sponsorships

AdvAntAge: re/maX

Ads such as this one regularly appear in major publica-tions such as Time and People.

“THE BALLOON! That’s always the answer I give when someone asks why I switched to RE/MAX. Of course, there were many more reasons, but the balloon was everywhere. I couldn’t open a magazine or watch TV without seeing an ad for RE/MAX featur-ing the familiar red, white and blue balloon. And then, there’s the RE/MAX brand. If I’m on a listing appoint-ment or talking to a refer-ral from out of state, I don’t have to sell them on my company. They already know what to expect from a RE/MAX agent. Real estate is a lot easier with a big balloon on my business card.”

RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon logo – one of the most-recognized trademarks in the real estate industry – and other RE/MAX graphics and marks benefits everyone in the network.

Premier Web PresenceInternet tools and presence are critical to success in today’s business world, and RE/MAX continues to be an online real estate leader.

RE/MAX works to ensure that links to remax.com appear in search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo. TV, radio and print ads also drive consumers to remax.com. This establishes Premier Web

Presence, which drives consumers to remax.com’s comprehensive home-search feature – resulting in more leads for Associates.

Premier Customer SatisfactionThe success of the RE/MAX network ultimately depends on the customer service provided by each RE/MAX Associate. Every Associate aims to deliver unparalleled

customer service through advanced education, technological expertise and experience.

Premier Community CitizenshipRE/MAX Associates have long been leaders in their communities. Around the world, they organize fundraisers and work as volunteers to benefit hundreds of charitable

organizations each year, building their community presence and a networkwide image of positive citizenship.

Premier Market ShareThe combination of quality Associates, public recognition of the RE/MAX name and logo, customer satisfaction and good citizenship results in leading market share. This attracts consumers, as well as top producers from

competing organizations, to the RE/MAX network, further building the network’s success.

At RE/MAX, your business is your own – you call the shots. RE/MAX Associates decide how much to spend on marketing and advertising, which specialties to pursue, which agents to send referrals to. There are no hidden gimmicks or guises – RE/MAX Associates are free to choose the services they use, and how to use them.

• High commission structure

• Flexibility and freedom for agents

• Control your own career

Commission StructureThe RE/MAX high compensation concept first attracted top-producing agents to RE/MAX and caused competitors to re-examine their traditional commission structures.

Associate FlexibilityRE/MAX Associates have the freedom to make core business decisions that keep them in control of their days and their futures, something not often found at other organizations.

Be Your Own Boss Associates set their own income goals and schedules at RE/MAX. With RE/MAX, Associates can reduce their work hours without reducing their earnings, or work longer hours and increase their earnings. And with its dedication to promoting life balance, the network encourages Associates to play just as hard as they work.

Choose Your ExpertiseRE/MAX Associates have the freedom to pursue any listings or sales specialties that pique their interest. The RE/MAX Web Roster lists dozens of residential and commercial specialty areas, such as luxury homes or land development, that Associates can declare.

Advertise on Your TermsRE/MAX Associates choose how to market themselves to their communities and their clients. At RE/MAX, the Associate – not the Broker/Owner – determines how much to spend on individual advertising and personal promotion. And with RE/MAX, Associates receive the leads they generate.

Negotiate Your Commission RatesSales agents at other companies are often required to follow pre-established commission rates. Not at RE/MAX. Here, brokerages typically empower Associates to negotiate commission rates with clients.

Operate a TeamWhen you’re running your real estate sales business as a true business, the growth can quickly exceed one individual’s capabilities. RE/MAX pioneered agents’ use of licensed and unlicensed assistants, partners and teams. Today, some of the most successful agent-led sales teams in the industry call RE/MAX home.

Sources of BusinessThanks to a combination of professional experience, high commissions and attention to repeat and

referral business, many RE/MAX Associates have a multitude of satisfied customers.

This repeat and referral base can help RE/MAX Associates withstand shifts in the real estate market. When a local market slows down, an agent with a solid contact base is prepared to weather the rocky times.

Approved Supplier ProgramThe more than 100 companies that participate in the RE/MAX Approved Supplier program offer all the products and services Associates need to operate their real estate business.

One of the most common reasons agents cite for joining RE/MAX is the ability to use the RE/MAX image and trademarks. Approved Suppliers are obligated to meet all image and trademark standards.

Suppliers are also committed to providing the highest level of service and competitive pricing.
