RE/MAX

What do you like about RE/MAX?
I'm speaking of my personal office, this can differ with each office.
Love the modern look of my office. Everyone has their own desk and they are really open and have trust in each other. I get along very well with two of the agents there and make me feel very welcome.

What are some things to improve upon?
This is definitely not a brokerage for new agents! They charge $400+ for RE/MAX fees plus the extremely high cost per month which is about $350 and I'm not even counting the MLS fees. Regardless of whether you close or not you still have to pay. All the training I have gotten has only been through Zoom or through online modules. When I asked for scripts or training materials... no response. I had to use KW scripts.. how ironic.

Anything else you'd like to share with other agents?
When interviewing brokerages and you hear we are a team of individuals, that's a fancy way of saying each to their own. That means you are joining a brokerage that will offer you very little support and have no accountability or goals for you. You will pretty much be alone, as I was with my very first appointment though I was promised to be hand-held my first 3 transactions.

Teams will tell you up front "we are a team and we expect this and this from you and these are our goals." "You have to be here certain days for training and such and such."

If they can't say that, prepare to be completely alone as a new agent or at least receive very little support.

I love all of the resources that are available to the agents. Many things are already done so it is easily accessible and already pre-populated for your listings w property address information. I do believe Remax is the best brokerage to be at there is no place I would rather be. I have been with Re/Max for 18 years!

Buyers agent fee to expand and grow your team is very difficult to bring on new agents the fee of $395 in addition to all of the costs that a team leader would need to cover just seems a little bit expensive. I have not been able to add on additional team members outside of 1 buyers agent so far due to how high the fees are for additional agents to the team.

Great company to work for! Always evolving to make sure the agents have the best technology and tools! The support that RE/MAX gives their agents is unmatched. Amazing company, amazing broker support, and the best work environment you can imagine!

Would love to see the company develop more aggressive strategies to recruit seasoned agents from other firms.

They're a great brokerage. When I was seeking sponsorship, they were the brokerage that stood out to me. They are very easy to get along with, and I absolutely love the culture. There are many marketing resources that are available, and the brokerage support is the best.

At first I liked the name , atmosphere, and comrades. Disappointed with having to pay a member fee and monthly rate and got nothing in return. No lead system.

If they want to recruit, don’t charge a monthly and yearly fee. Too expensive to invest and no return. We get nothing in return for the fees.

I've been with RE/MAX since 2018. I'm only getting 40/60 or 30/70 depending on where the lead was provided. They really need to improve the commission split and allow for more schedule flexibility.

Most leads given by RE/MAX are not qualified. I had to go out to get my own CRM which was an added expense on my end. In order to get support from them, I have to give up more of my commission. They need to offer more support and training!

I like the abundant advertised & resources available. The trainings have been very helpful for being a new agent.

The monthly cost to my broker has been a challenge as a new agent. I don’t have the need for the office & most months I don’t have a need to go in. Some months I pay more out than I’m making income. That’s has been the only difficulty

Being a RE/MAX Realtor has made it a smooth transition from my prior nurse profession. Highly recommend for the advertising & resources

I love everything about REMAX. It's a great place to work. The staff is wonderful and very helpful.

Everything is great. I won't change anything. It's a well run company

Don't go to Keller Williams.

RE/MAX is highly respected and opens doors for me as an agent. I'm given ample tools to foster my success and to help me meet my clients' needs. The international exposure is also a huge plus!

I find the RE/MAX app to be a very helpful tool when it works properly, but I have been having issues getting it to work properly. It would be awesome if I could get higher designations, like my GRI, through RE/MAX. Also, I wish BOOJ was more mobile user friendly. I have a hard time accessing my leads on my phone.

RE/MAX is a family that I take great pride in being a part of. Go big or go home.... go RE/MAX!

RE/MAX has good brand recognition for agents that are just getting started and trying to build their business.

The fees are high for someone that has gained some experience and no longer needs a lot of hand holding from the broker or lead generation.

I did not like the amount of fees/splits I was paying each month and the restrictions on marketing/branding. I was looking for something that offered me for flexibility, but it was a good starting point.

The 6 week training course at RE/MAX was good, but it was not free. There’s not one one thing that stands out that I loved there.

The could improve on their LEADS. Real leads! Follow through after meetings to see how everyone is doing. Too many meetings and nothing much comes of them. Lesson the monthly fees. Paying $480 a month for administration. Why are agents paying their salary? $390.00 fixed fee? What is the fixed fee for? $108.00 for regional promotion, $120.00 for regional Admin fee? Come on. There’s more but justifiable.

If you choose RE/MAX get on a team. It’s better to make some money than no money. This being said because all of it goes right back to the broker to meet the cap of $15,000.00. Interview other brokers before making a decision. Unless you have someone that can financially support the family while your trying to make a buck, find a second job. It’s $1200.00 a month to carry the RE/MAX name with or without a sale.

I like that they have always been ahead of the curve and have a good handle and know-how of the real estate industry, because they have been doing this since 1973! Strong, sturdy, and a mature market leader with a long track record of high productivity, innovation and consistent profitability. They are not focused on agent count (even though it matters), as much as they are focused on agent growth, development and productivity. I truly believe it is agent-centric and not putting in as much money into a broker's pocket as other companies can and do. Leadership is very impressive and diverse, and deserves a special recognition for handling matters during the pandemic. Several technology add-ons have been acquired in-house and available to agents at no extra cost. RE/MAX University + Megaphone + First + a lot more are tools that no other real estate brand owns! The best place for full-time real estate professionals to grow, succeed and sustain their success.

One thing they could improve upon - lower the liability on individual broker's shoulders by improving the free structure, and making it more financially beneficial for the brokers.

Each office is independently owned and operated, so if the brand interests you, you must meet with more than a couple of RE/MAX brokers in the area, to check what they individually offer. At the end of the day, you will only be comfortable with one, and thrive in one.

I like Remax. It's a good place for a new agent. They're a bit pricey, but it is a really good brokerage.

I recently moved to Remax because it is a national company in my area, and it seemed like the right fit brokerage. I really liked the small family-oriented environment because everybody is supportive and help each other out. So far, I am currently doing the online training, and so far it is really good. This is the brokerage I was looking for, and I can't wait to grow with them.

Not enough growth or training! I don't have much experience in the sellers or buyer's side and I desperately need help learning. I had two potential listings, one expired & the other canceled. I had a 75/25 split, but obviously never earned a commission.

There was a truly great support system! I had a mentor so I knew in and out how it all really works. I felt like I was set up for success. But I wanted to be more involved with an active office who works with their agents more directly.

I've been working part-time with REMAX for almost a year. They don't provide enough help for new agents. I have a full time job too. My split is 70/30 and I pay $133.00 in monthly fees.

I would say the good part is the professionalism of the training here. For people that don't have experience, the negative part is getting started. It's hard everywhere of course. Aside from that, this is one of the biggest firms and I have experience. They provide leads. This is a high-end firm, so that's why I'm here.

My production is pretty low as a part time agent - about 2 properties per year. I really would like that to be higher, but I don't get much support from my broker. I have to get all my leads on my own, and really feel like the partnership has soured.

There's a lack of professionalism from the broker in my office. The support team isn't as good as other brokerages.

I have actually worked for RE/MAX twice which should tell you a lot! The lead generation and marketing is great, they have a good reputation, and the support infrastructure was good.
