RE/MAX Now More than 100,000 Agents Strong

Agent-Centric Model and Recovering Market Attract Thousands

The global real estate franchisor, RE/MAX (NYSE:RMAX) now counts over 100,000 agents in its network, including RE/MAX Services-Blue Bell. Ending 2014 with 98,010 agents worldwide, RE/MAX attracted more than 2,000 agents in just the first few months of 2015 to reach this significant milestone.

“As our agent count grew over the last three years, we knew that the 100,000 threshold would be crossed very soon,” said Dave Liniger, CEO, Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder of RE/MAX, LLC. “Our agent-centric business model has attracted top producers for 42 years. It’s nice to have such large numbers, but we’re most proud of the quality agents who call RE/MAX home.”

RE/MAX agent growth picked up steam in 2015 and as of April 1 had risen 2.1%, after increasing 5.1% in all of 2014. RE/MAX continues its trend of agent growth while the National Association of Realtors reported February home sales at levels 4.7% higher than one year ago.

“In an improving real estate market, the most productive agents will want to affiliate with a real estate company that supports their efforts with valuable resources and innovative technology tools,” said Bob Acuff, president and co-founder of RE/MAX Services in Blue Bell. “I speak on behalf of myself and all RE/MAX Services-Blue Bell sales agents when I say it is an honor to be part of such a superior group of dedicated real estate professionals whose work ethic and drive are superior.”

The best agents seek out organizations that can help them succeed in a competitive environment. RE/MAX provides a comprehensive training platform, RE/MAX University, that is available 24/7 on-demand anywhere in the world. RU has been recognized with numerous training and video awards.

And since 2006, RE/MAX has provided over 14 million online leads to its agents without a referral fee. Other services include a creative advertising campaign and the RE/MAX Design Center, an online marketing site where agents can create customized materials using professionally designed templates.

RE/MAX agents consistently rank among the most productive in the industry. In the U.S., RE/MAX agents averaged 15.6 years of real estate experience and 16.0 transaction sides in 2014.
