RE/MAX

RE/MAX

RE/MAX franchises operate real estate sales offices offering residential and commercial brokerage services to the general public, including buyers, sellers, and investors. The business model revolves around a high commission concept where sales associates retain typically 95% of their commissions in exchange for paying fixed monthly fees, a share of office overhead, and institutional marketing fees to the franchisee-owned office. Franchisees benefit from the RE/MAX system's branding, technology, training, referral networks, and promotional support to attract top agents and compete in local real estate markets.
