RE/MAX is home of The Real Estate Leaders®. The RE/MAX Concept combines maximum commissions and the best support services to attract the top agents and, increasing, the top newcomers, to real estate. Based in Denver, Colo., RE/MAX International oversees a network of more than 100,000 agents in more than 50 countries.
Because of the commission structure, the average RE/MAX agent has more education, more designations, more experience, and a higher sales volume than average agents at any other real estate company. RE/MAX is also the fastest growing real estate franchise, and now has companies in all 50 states, as well as 54 countries. Because of this, we can handle all your relocation needs.
History of RE/MAX
Dave and Gail LIniger founded RE/MAX in Denver, Colo., in 1973, prompted by their dissatisfaction with the way real estate business was conducted at the time.
Regardless of an operation's size, most real estate offices used the commission-split system, requiring sales professionals to forfeit half of their commissions to their brokers in exchange for an office environment and company services. The top producers contributed the most to the operation's overhead, thus supporting the amateur, part-time and low-producing agents. Most salespeople left the business within two years, making residential real estate a high-turnover industry comprising in large part inexperienced and unprofessional staffs.
The Linigers wanted to change all that.
They believed that to attract and retain the best agents in the business, brokers must offer them maximum compensation, advanced support services and the freedom they need to succeed. Agents would share office overhead and pay management fees, and in return would receive a wide variety of traditional real estate franchise services and high commissions.
The strategy worked.
RE/MAX has grown every single month for more than 30 years. Very few companies with a worldwide presence can make such a claim.
Recognized by the homebuying and selling public for its red, white and blue hot air balloon logo, RE/MAX has been the No. 1 residential real estate network in Canada since 1987 and is a leading industry force in the United States and many other regions.
The most significant growth for RE/MAX in recent years has come outside the United States, with expansion into Africa, Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Mexico, New Zealand and South America. RE/MAX takes proven techniques and adapts them to local markets, thereby developing a series of tools that real estate professionals find invaluable.
In an industry rife with mergers and acquisitions, RE/MAX is the only major real estate network still owned and directed by its original founders.
Community Involvement
Community involvement is highly valued at all levels of the RE/MAX organization - from individual Associates to RE/MAX offices, regions, and RE/MAX International.
RE/MAX cause marketing and charity fundraising take on many forms:
Most recently, RE/MAX has become a national co-sponsor of the Breast Cancer Survivor Recognition Program at Komen Race for the Cure¨ events. 
The RE/MAX organization has been the official real estate sponsor of Children's Miracle Network since 1992. In fact, when you buy or sell a home through an Anchorage RE/MAX Properties REALTOR, a donation is made to our local Children's hospital at Providence hospital.
RE/MAX International is the first major sponsor of The Wildlife Experience, a conservation and community center promoting understanding of the natural world and its conservation through art and education.
All these venues and more represent the RE/MAX network's commitment to community involvement, serving the public beyond its real estate needs.
