Real Estate Franchise RE/MAX Launches in the Philippines

Forty years ago, Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder of RE/MAX World Headquarters Dave Liniger and his wife, Gail, set out to build a company in Denver centered on the abilities and performance of the real estate industry's top professionals. "We had the conviction that if people learned all they could, worked hard, did the right thing, and followed their dream, good things would happen. And they have," he affirmed. "Our offices enjoy a unique atmosphere of achievement, quality, and high standards; that's exactly what we hoped for all those years ago."

where it all started

RE/MAX, an acronym for Real Estate MAXimum, is an international brand that has the largest global network of highly successful brokers and agents in 100 countries. It offers end-to-end real estate business solutions to the most common industry problems such as a) recruiting, retaining, and training agents; b) controlling expenses; and c) managing the bottom line. Its hot air balloon logo represents its network deemed to be "Above the Crowd."

"[Our goal] is to promote the success of all our brokers and their agents and to contribute to the professionalism of the real estate industry in the [country]. This lies at the core of our business model, which is expressed in very simple terms: 'Outstanding Agents. Outstanding Results,'" expressed Leonard Campos, President of RE/MAX Philippines.

During an event held at Fairmont Hotel in Makati the other night, it was explained that when brokers are starting a business, it is preferable to go for an international franchise that has already been tried and tested not only in the local setting but in other countries as well. 

According to its executives, RE/MAX is considered the #1 Global Real Estate Franchise in the world, the top real estate franchise in Entrepreneur Magazine's Franchise 500, and the leading real estate franchise on Franchise Times' Top 200.
