What is remax.com (and RE/MAX)

remax.com is the official website of RE/MAX, one of the world’s largest real-estate franchising networks. The site serves as a central platform where people can browse homes for sale, get information on real-estate services (buying, selling, renting), and locate RE/MAX agents for assistance. (RE/MAX LLC)

Background of RE/MAX

  • RE/MAX was founded in 1973 in Denver, Colorado by Dave and Gail Liniger. (REMAX News)

  • The name stands for “Real Estate Maximums” — reflecting a core business model: agents keep most of their commissions rather than splitting large portions with brokers. (Suzy Pendergraf Homes)

  • The model was designed to attract top-performing agents by giving them more incentive per transaction, which over time contributed to strong sales performance and rapid growth. (Suzy Pendergraf Homes)

Global Scale & Reach

  • Today RE/MAX operates in over 110 countries and territories worldwide. (RE/MAX Holdings)

  • The network consists of thousands of independently owned and operated offices and a large number of agents globally. (REMAX News)

  • Through this extensive presence, remax.com provides access to property listings across many markets, allowing both local and international buyers or sellers to find relevant properties via a common platform. (REMAX News)

What remax.com Offers

  • Property search: Looking for homes — you can search listings in many regions via remax.com. (RE/MAX LLC)

  • Agent directory: You can find an experienced RE/MAX agent in your area — useful if you want professional help buying or selling a property. (RE/MAX LLC)

  • Information & Services: For buyers, sellers, renters — the website helps navigate real-estate processes. (RE/MAX LLC)

  • Global network benefits: Especially relevant if you are looking at international real-estate, since RE/MAX claims broad international coverage and strong brand presence across many markets. (RE/MAX Europe)

What Makes RE/MAX Different

  • Agent-centric model: Rather than a traditional brokerage structure, RE/MAX emphasizes empowering individual agents — letting them retain more commission and work more independently. (RE/MAX Realty)

  • High productivity and experience: Because the model attracts motivated agents, RE/MAX claims that on average its agents are more active and experienced than many competitors. (Steve Sergi - RE/MAX)

  • Wide global footprint: For someone potentially interested in real estate outside their home country (or in multiple countries), RE/MAX’s global presence — and remax.com’s ability to show listings across countries — can be a big advantage. (RE/MAX Holdings)

Some Limitations / What to Keep in Mind

  • Even though RE/MAX is a global brand, real-estate laws, market conditions, and procedures vary a lot across countries. Using RE/MAX overseas often means working with a local franchise — so due diligence and local research still matter.

  • While the agent-centric model can produce experienced, motivated agents, it also means quality may vary widely depending on the local office and individual agent.

  • As with any big franchise network, clients should carefully verify licensing, recent track record, and whether a given agent or office is suitable for their needs.

Key Takeaways

  • remax.com is the main website of RE/MAX, used globally for property searches, connecting with agents, and exploring real-estate services.

  • RE/MAX was founded in 1973, with a unique commission model — factoring in high agent autonomy and motivation.

  • Over decades it has expanded to 110+ countries, thousands of offices, and tens of thousands of agents — giving it broad global reach.

  • The platform and brand can be especially useful for those interested in international properties or who want access to large real-estate networks and experienced agents.

  • As with any large real-estate network, it’s wise to check local conditions, ask questions, and evaluate agents individually rather than rely solely on the brand name.

FAQ

Q: Does remax.com only list properties in the U.S.?
A: No. RE/MAX operates globally. Through remax.com (or its localized affiliates), you can find property listings in many countries across the world. (REMAX News)

Q: If I use RE/MAX, do I work with a company or an independent agent?
A: RE/MAX agents generally work as independent contractors under the RE/MAX brand. Off-ices are independently owned/operated franchises; agents retain a majority of their commissions under the model. (RE/MAX Realty)

Q: Is using RE/MAX worth it compared to a local small broker?
A: It depends. RE/MAX’s global reach, brand recognition, and large pool of agents can be beneficial — especially for international or large-scale deals. But quality still depends heavily on the particular local office/agent. Always evaluate credentials, local expertise, and service level regardless of brand.

Q: Can I buy property in Indonesia (or my country) using remax.com?
A: That depends on whether RE/MAX has a franchise in your country. RE/MAX has offices in many countries; if there’s a RE/MAX office operating locally, you can likely use their services. Otherwise, remax.com might not list relevant local properties.

Q: Beyond buying/selling homes, does RE/MAX offer other services (like mortgages)?
A: In some markets (especially in the U.S.), RE/MAX through affiliated brands — like Motto Mortgage — offers mortgage-brokerage services. (RE/MAX Holdings)
