More than $1 billion is spent on advertising worldwide annually by RE/MAX real estate agents, regions and RE/MAX International. Through television, magazines, radio, yard signs, billboards, the RE/MAX Balloon, the Internet, flyers and postcards, consumers are exposed to billions of impressions of the RE/MAX brand every year.

The RE/MAX national television campaign in the United States outpaces all others in the industry. RE/MAX advertisements appear during some of the most-watched shows on TV. The valuable exposure reaches consumers in markets in the Caribbean and Central America, thanks to cable and satellite feeds.

This is what RE/MAX calls its strength-in-numbers strategy. Each RE/MAX real estate agent adds to the collective power of RE/MAX. Whether it's a brochure distributed by a RE/MAX Sales Associate in another region or a giant RE/MAX billboard just outside your neighborhood, the individual efforts of RE/MAX real estate agents create a cumulative impact and visual image unrivaled by other brands. This also creates a vast referral network across communities, countries and continents.

RE/MAX is Out in Front^® on the real estate industry's information superhighway. The award-winning RE/MAX Web site is the first real estate site to offer consumers access to information on millions of properties listed by not only RE/MAX agents, but by competing agents as well. Remax.com is one of the most visited real estate Web sites on the Internet.

RE/MAX offers many other technological tools that facilitate growth, referrals and global networking, such as:

An outstanding foundation of education and experience is vital to any real estate business, and RE/MAX understands that brokers who are thoroughly trained and well informed will pass on these strengths to their Sales Associates. Every new RE/MAX franchise owner begins their training with a weeklong course at the corporate headquarters in Denver. These training sessions usually consist of between 30-60 owners from around the country, and classes covering details of operating a RE/MAX brokerage. Attendees of a typical class forge lifelong friendships, staying in touch with fellow classmates by exchanging referrals and sharing insights, and broadening network capabilities.

 

Broker management training continues both at the annual RE/MAX International Convention and at the annual Summer Conference for Broker/Owners and Managers. These events include courses on recruiting, fiscal management, profitability and other topics key to running a successful RE/MAX company.

In addition to these national training opportunities, RE/MAX of New York, Inc. holds Regional Sales Seminars and Regional Broker/Owners and Managers Meetings that offer still more opportunities for continuing business and real estate education.   All of these programs offer brokerage management training, including advanced courses on such topics as fiscal management, profitability, recruiting, retention and office policies.

This is all in addition to training programs on the RE/MAX Satellite Network (RSN^® ) that are specifically tailored towards the needs of broker/owners.

 
Management Training on Demand is RE/MAX International's latest resource for owners and managers, available through the free, members-only extranet, RE/MAX Mainstreet. All RE/MAX real estate franchise owners have access to the new online center that includes office profiles, helpful downloads and videos featuring top coaches.

 

Many franchise-based companies lend little to individual franchise owners beyond the corporate name and identity itself. RE/MAX of New York, Inc. is of the belief that each of its individual offices deserves the full support and resources of the RE/MAX network. Whether it be online associations via RE/MAX Mainstreet’s Broker/Owner forum or direct phone contact with the RE/MAX Corporate Headquarters in Garden City, no other real estate network can match the service and dedication RE/MAX provides for each owner.

Each year, the Summer Conference for Broker/Owners and Managers attracts RE/MAX leaders from around the world. Attendees share professional recognition and secrets of success.

Sales Associates keep the maximum amount of their commissions in exchange for paying their fair share of office expenses, much like doctors, lawyers and other professionals in cooperative arrangements. All RE/MAX Affiliates enjoy the full range of competitive advantages and RE/MAX benefits.

When you buy a RE/MAX real estate franchise, you build an office by recruiting full-time top agents in the market. Broker/Owners provide leadership and high quality offices.

Agents thrive in the RE/MAX system, surrounded by other top producers, and enjoy the freedom and independence to run their businesses with minimal corporate restrictions. RE/MAX agents, 120,000 worldwide, lead the industry in experience, number of transactions and advanced designations.

In most conventional real estate organizations, brokers train new Sales Associates, handle a high turnover environment and pay for the office's overhead, whether or not these Sales Associates produce. In contrast, RE/MAX of New York, Inc. brokers and managers recruit top professional Associates who keep the maximum amount of their commissions in exchange for paying their fair share of expenses. It is this system that has helped RE/MAX Associates across the world lead the real estate industry, averaging more sales per Associate than other real estate professionals. See how far your real estate company can grow with RE/MAX of New York, Inc!
