Transforming the Real Estate Market
From arrival in the country to recognition as one of the largest real estate networks in Brazil.
Joining the RE/MAX franchise network can mean incredible opportunities for your business. Initial support with ongoing training, a major brand to boost your global connectivity, and a network of talented brokers who will inspire you to work toward success. But above all, a culture connected to the community, our families, and each other.
1973
The beginning
In early 1973, in Denver, Colorado, real estate broker Dave Liniger was dissatisfied with the sales model and lack of training in the industry, where talent was wasted and others were exalted without any special expertise.
So, with just a notebook and a pen, an idea and an action plan to resolve the situation emerged: RE/MAX.
1975 - 1978
Expansion - First decade, first leaps
After successfully introducing RE/MAX to Canada, visionary leaders Frank Polzler and Walter Schneider boldly embarked on a transatlantic mission to bring the brand's revolutionary concept to Europe. Their endeavor proved a resounding success, with the iconic red, white, and blue balloon symbolizing RE/MAX's dynamism and innovation in the real estate sector. Spain was the first country in Europe, and expansion was rapid across many countries across the continent.

In the 1980s, RE/MAX grew rapidly: from 3,000 agents in 1980 to 20,000 in 1987.
By 1986, it had become Canada's largest real estate organization, setting records and becoming a benchmark in North America.

In 1996, it was awarded for excellence in franchisee support and communication.

"No one sells more real estate in the world than RE/MAX"
In 1997, RE/MAX closed more than 1 million real estate transactions in the year, a number never before seen in the world by a chain, which transformed its slogan.
