DENVER, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels
of the RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. fourth quarter and full-year 2020
results announcement, RE/MAX, LLC announced today that in 2020, the
global real estate franchisor sold over 1,000 franchises and
renewed more than 1,100 brokerages. Amid unprecedented conditions,
RE/MAX also expanded the brand's presence to Belgium, Bonaire, Moldova, North
Macedonia, Qatar and
St. Lucia.
"The RE/MAX business model is the best foundation we could give
to real estate entrepreneurs," said Sam
Youssef, RE/MAX Region Owner/Director for Qatar. "Delivering the unbeatable customer
service that RE/MAX agents are known for to homebuyers and sellers
in Qatar was our motivation behind
joining with the brand. Buyers and sellers coming to and from
Qatar now have the power behind
RE/MAX helping make their homeownership goals a reality. We look
forward to reaching new heights together in 2021."
Despite the global pandemic, RE/MAX saw widespread growth,
adding almost 7,000 agents worldwide last year. Mara Gisch, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Royale
in Weston, FL, joined the
brand in November 2020 from Royale MG
Realty. "Our agents work hard to service the real estate needs of
buyers and sellers in our community and affiliating with RE/MAX
made their jobs a little bit easier," said Gisch. "The reputation
of the brand and the immense resources now available to us allow
our agents to put the focus mainly on helping the customer."
Josh Bolgren, RE/MAX Senior
Vice President, Region Development credits the company's
growth in part to the seller-focused tools and unique competitive
advantages that give RE/MAX agents an edge in this highly
competitive market. "We have made significant investments over the
past few years to enhance and improve our value proposition to
ensure we're delivering the tools and resources to help RE/MAX
agents continue to outproduce their competitors," he said. "The
1,000-plus new franchises we gained and the significant renewals we
saw year over year are a result of our preparedness to navigate any
environment."
With achievement of No. 1 market share being a top priority for
the global real estate franchisor, continued growth remains a focus
in 2021. "RE/MAX retains and recruits top talent simply by being
the best at what we do," said Peter
Luft, RE/MAX Vice President of Franchise Sales.
"Launching into 2021 with goals set high on growing market share,
it's exciting to see our innovation at work with the tools,
training and technology we deliver outperforming itself year after
year."
From a single office that opened in 1973 in Denver, Colorado, RE/MAX has grown into a
global real estate network with more than 135,000 sales associates
