Upset with the bad name that poorly trained novices and casual part-timers were giving the real estate profession, Dave Liniger in 1973 started a real estate company in Denver that would limit itself to hiring only full-time, experienced professionals. He wanted a company where home buyers and sellers could walk into any office in any market, confident they would receive the level of professional service that a transaction of such magnitude demands.
RE/MAX agents most productive That basic concept enabled RE/MAX (Real Estate Maximums) to grow into the most productive organization the industry has seen. RE/MAX agents on average have more experience and sell more homes than other agents in the industry. Success breeds success And interestingly enough, once true professionals started working together in the same office, their skills improved even more. It was a classic case of improving your golf game by playing with better golfers.
The RE/MAX approach had a profound impact on the industry, and today there are many imitators. But none has yet been able to match the level of professionalism held by RE/MAX agents. Indeed, both consumers and others in the industry continue to perceive RE/MAX as the ultimate organization with which top real estate professionals affiliate.
RE/MAX agents average nearly 14 years of experience, far exceeding the industry average. They also surpass their peers in professional designations - a sign of advanced education in real estate sales and marketing.
385 Consecutive Months of Growth "In the RE/MAX philosophy, the success of one agent helps drive the success of all others. The company itself grows because other agents see the success of RE/MAX agents and join the team."
From Everybody Wins — The Story and Lessons Behind RE/MAX, by Phil Harkins and Keith Hollihan - Wiley & Sons, 2004.
