RE/MAX is an international network of real-estate brokerages connecting independently owned and operated offices staffed by licensed agents. It's set apart by an agent-centric, high-commission model: the agent keeps the majority of the commission and pays the office for space and shared overhead — a structure that attracts experienced, high-producing agents. The brand is instantly recognizable by its red-white-and-blue hot-air balloon, and behind it sits a worldwide agent-to-agent referral network.
