RE/MAX LLC is celebrating its 42nd anniversary and honouring its numerous milestones along the way.
Co-founded on 30 January 1973 by Dave and Gail Liniger, RE/MAX has grown from a one-office operation in Denver into a global real estate company.
According to Dave Liniger, CEO, chairman of the board and co-founder of RE/MAX LLC, the estate agency began with an entrepreneurial spirit that is still well rooted in its agents today. That disposition, along with their attention to customer service, allows RE/MAX to remain relevant in the industry.
Adrian Goslett, CEO and regional director of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, says he is proud to be a part of the legacy that Dave and Gail Linger had created. As the pioneer region outside of the US, RE/MAX of Southern Africa celebrates its 20th year in operation in 2015. The Southern Africa region has experienced growth over the last two decades and has enjoyed many years of success.
In 1997, RE/MAX closed more than 1 million transaction sides in the US, becoming the first real estate brand to reach that level of annual production. When the housing market recession hit in 2007, the agency quickly created the industry’s largest sales force of real estate agents with Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) training.
RE/MAX has also earned a number of other industry recognitions. In October, it was recognised for the sixth consecutive year as the leading real estate franchise in the 2014 Franchise Times Top 200. The annual survey is based on 2013 worldwide sales and growth. It has also been named the number one real estate franchise for the 12th time in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500.
RE/MAX agents out-produced competitors in the RISMedia 26th Annual Power Broker Report, which surveyed the country’s largest brokerages, in July. The agents at participating brokerages averaged 18 transaction sides.
