RE/MAX Brand - Everybody knows your name
Billions of RE/MAX impressions on TV, radio, online, and in print mean more business for you.
Imagine saying, “I’m with RE/MAX” – while backed by a national TV advertising voice that
nearly exceeds all other competitors combined.
Boost your local marketing efforts by leveraging the power of billions of dollars spent over the
years promoting RE/MAX.
RE/MAX share of voice in U.S. real estate advertising on national television in recent quarters
has been about 50 percent. (Source: Nielsen Monitor-Plus/Ages 25-54 GRPs unequivalized.)
That means at RE/MAX you’re backed by as much advertising as all our competitors
combined. On your first day with RE/MAX, everybody knows you.
When you add up the TV, print, radio, billboards and other promotional efforts by RE/MAX
International, its regions, brokerages and associates, the total spent promoting RE/MAX over
the years is billions of dollars. When your customers connect your name with RE/MAX, you
directly benefit from those ever-increasing impressions.

High Commission Programs – More $$$$
At your convenience, we will meet with you personally to confidentially discuss our full menu
of generous commission options. Rest assured, our programs will exceed your expectations.
Not just the high commission
With RE/MAX, your income doesn’t increase just because of high commissions. It increases
because of more business. The increase occurs because of the system’s complete focus on
the agent. Everything centers on helping you earn more business.
Working with the best reveals your best
Maybe you’ve experienced this in golf or a similar activity. When you’re surrounded by better
players, your level of play tends to elevate. It’s one of the most powerful benefits of working
within a network composed entirely of career professionals – untainted by questionable downline recruits or part-timers.
Agent growth fuels agent earnings
When you join RE/MAX, you join nearly 100,000 professionals who made the decision before
you. The wisdom in those decisions is confirmed by steady growth across more than three
decades of RE/MAX history. And that’s organic growth – not acquisition-driven like other
national networks. The RE/MAX goal is 15 percent of NAR membership and a similar percent
of agents worldwide. Because that 15 percent represents career professionals, corresponding
market share typically is at least twice that. The result is an expanding sphere of mainly
repeat and referral business for every RE/MAX agent. We call it Premier Market Presence,
and being part of it is the most important step you can take to maximize your career

RE/MAX national advertising pushes consumers to remax.com, where the most

Referral Network -
Outstanding Agents – Outstanding Results
Agent to Agent!
Boost Repeats & Referrals
Brand power and repeat business: Every time your past customers and clients see a RE/MAX
ad or yard sign, they’ll think of you – once you’re with RE/MAX.
See what happens to your closing ratios and total net income when referrals travel directly
between agents committed to referred business – and no middleman takes a cut.
Customize your profile on the powerful RE/MAX Web Roster to open yourself to referral
possibilities across more than 70 countries.
Take full control of your referrals
Unlike other national networks, at RE/MAX your referral business isn’t viewed as a company
profit center. RE/MAX does not take a portion of your referral fees. Referrals travel directly
between Associates. And because of the high-caliber agents, such referrals more often result
in closed transactions.
Web Roster promotes your strengths
Supporting the agent-to-agent referral system is a comprehensive Web-based roster that
enables you to customize your biographical details to be more readily found – and, in turn, to
more easily identify recipients who best click with the customers you refer. It’s one more
example of the strength of a brokerage-management concept designed for highly productive
agents by highly productive agents.

Internet – Buyers shop online first!
Web traffic means business for RE/MAX Associates and it won't be slowing down anytime
soon. A mix of search engine optimization and paid search complements the traditional-media
promotion of remax.com which for several years has ranked among real estate's most visited
sites. In addition, consumers use the word “remax” in searches more than the word “real
estate” or “homes,” driving traffic even higher.

Testimonials
In the winter of 2007, myself and 9 other colleagues were being displaced as our current
firm closed. The local RE/MAX Broker-Owner not only created a soft spot for all of us
to land, but the entire office welcomed us into the "family". My career immediately took
off once again. 2008 was my first year anniversary with RE/MAX, and even in a down
market, I managed to make it into the RE/MAX Executive Club, earn my CRS and CDPE
designations. Our RE/MAX tools are phenomenal and joining RE/MAX was my best
career choice to date and it is one that I will be happy to continue with for the duration.
- Kathy Collins
I joined RE/MAX in 2006. The RE/MAX Brand Name and the fact that RE/MAX sells
more real estate than any other company is what made the decision easy for me.
Secondly, I came because I knew that in this office there are some of the nicest people
and agents in the community. After working here, I can now say that RE/MAX is
unprecedented to any other Real Estate Company. Along with all the support the
company offers, the agents here are some of the very best and I am proud to be on
this team of professional and enthusiastic Brokers! I strongly recommend RE/MAX.
- Melva Smith
After several years of keeping an eye on RE/MAX International as I traveled abroad and
even to remote locations such as Honduras I noticed there were REMAX signs
everywhere! I soon knew that one day I would be a part of such a forward thinking
organization. In October of 2008, I began an intense search of real estate companies. I
was searching for a company with a stable footing and the ability to survive through the
current economic storm. As I investigated all the big companies; Keller Williams,
Century 21 and Prudential I discovered that none could compare to the business model
of RE/MAX.
As I researched the Broker/Owners within those companies, I found Jody Tatone to
have the best approach to being ahead of the curve and looking into the future of real
estate. Jody is committed to making us (the agents) successful. He is open minded, yet
decisive, as a leader should be. The support staff are wonderful. They are competent
knowledgeable, cheerful and treat the agents as if we were their clients. I have very
much appreciated having multiple principal brokers available. Both Scot and Linda have
insight and knowledge to advise the agents of the proper direction when necessary.
I appreciate how they are always approachable, extremely helpful and sincerely
interested in each transaction. Another thing I really appreciate, is the cutting edge
technology, office equipment and electric positive energy that can be felt the minute you
enter the office. The synergy and camaraderie is like none other! The education
opportunities are unlimited and convenient. I am 1000%, yes, one thousand percent
satisfied with my choice to become part of the REMAX family!
