RE/MAX Named Top Franchisor for Real Estate Leads all competitors for third consecutive year

INDIANAPOLIS – (October 13, 2011) – For the third year in a row, RE/MAX was ranked as the number one real estate franchisor by Franchise Times® magazine. Results from the 2011 Franchise Times Top 200 Survey identify RE/MAX in the 15th position overall, far outpacing other national real estate brands and placing the company among such top franchises as McDonalds, 7-Eleven and Subway. The rankings were primarily based on worldwide sales volume. “The number-one real estate ranking by Franchise Times once again demonstrates the strength of the RE/MAX brand here in Indiana and across the country,” said Dan Breault, executive vice president, regional director at RE/MAX of Indiana. “Even in times of economic uncertainty, with the ups and downs of the housing market, our franchise owners are fueling the success of the RE/MAX brand.” Founded in 1987, RE/MAX of Indiana is made up of more than 80 offices that are independently owned and operated, with nearly 1,200 sales associates.

As of September 30, RE/MAX has added nearly 500 new franchises worldwide. In the U.S., franchise sales are up nearly 22 percent. RE/MAX Chairman and Co-Found Dave Liniger thinks he knows why. “We offer more value and support to our franchise owners and that’s why we continue to grow,” said Liniger. “Home buyers and sellers prefer to work with RE/MAX agents and look to them for the premier customer service they’re known for.” In addition to the Franchise Times ranking, the company was ranked highest in customer satisfaction by both buyers and sellers in the 2011 J.D. Power and Associates Home Buyer/Seller Study.

RE/MAX was also named a Top 100 Global Franchise by franchisedirect.com. In addition, two national industry surveys ranked RE/MAX agents as the most productive among all other national franchises.
