3 RE/MAX Brand - Everybody knows your name Billions of RE/MAX impressions on TV, radio, online, and in print mean more business for you. Imagine saying, I m with RE/MAX while backed by a national TV advertising voice that nearly exceeds all other competitors combined. Boost your local marketing efforts by leveraging the power of billions of dollars spent over the years promoting RE/MAX. RE/MAX share of voice in U.S. real estate advertising on national television in recent quarters has been about 50 percent. (Source: Nielsen Monitor-Plus/Ages GRPs unequivalized.) That means at RE/MAX you re backed by as much advertising as all our competitors combined. On your first day with RE/MAX, everybody knows you. When you add up the TV, print, radio, billboards and other promotional efforts by RE/MAX International, its regions, brokerages and associates, the total spent promoting RE/MAX over the years is billions of dollars. When your customers connect your name with RE/MAX, you directly benefit from those ever-increasing impressions. 3/23

4 Company Strength = Agent Strength With nearly 100,000 associates promoting themselves and their listings worldwide, the RE/MAX name makes billions of impressions every year. When you align with RE/MAX. you add to that power and immediately begin benefiting from it. 4/23

6 High Commission Programs More $$$$ At your convenience, we will meet with you personally to confidentially discuss our full menu of generous commission options. Rest assured, our programs will exceed your expectations. Not just the high commission With RE/MAX, your income doesn t increase just because of high commissions. It increases because of more business. The increase occurs because of the system s complete focus on the agent. Everything centers on helping you earn more business. Working with the best reveals your best Maybe you ve experienced this in golf or a similar activity. When you re surrounded by better players, your level of play tends to elevate. It s one of the most powerful benefits of working within a network composed entirely of career professionals untainted by questionable downline recruits or part-timers. Agent growth fuels agent earnings When you join RE/MAX, you join nearly 100,000 professionals who made the decision before you. The wisdom in those decisions is confirmed by steady growth across more than three decades of RE/MAX history. And that s organic growth not acquisition-driven like other national networks. The RE/MAX goal is 15 percent of NAR membership and a similar percent of agents worldwide. Because that 15 percent represents career professionals, corresponding market share typically is at least twice that. The result is an expanding sphere of mainly repeat and referral business for every RE/MAX agent. We call it Premier Market Presence, and being part of it is the most important step you can take to maximize your career Insider Tip: Ask us about sign-on incentives. 6/23

22 Testimonials In the winter of 2007, myself and 9 other colleagues were being displaced as our current firm closed. The local RE/MAX Broker-Owner not only created a soft spot for all of us to land, but the entire office welcomed us into the "family". My career immediately took off once again was my first year anniversary with RE/MAX, and even in a down market, I managed to make it into the RE/MAX Executive Club, earn my CRS and CDPE designations. Our RE/MAX tools are phenomenal and joining RE/MAX was my best career choice to date and it is one that I will be happy to continue with for the duration. - Kathy Collins I joined RE/MAX in The RE/MAX Brand Name and the fact that RE/MAX sells more real estate than any other company is what made the decision easy for me. Secondly, I came because I knew that in this office there are some of the nicest people and agents in the community. After working here, I can now say that RE/MAX is unprecedented to any other Real Estate Company. Along with all the support the company offers, the agents here are some of the very best and I am proud to be on this team of professional and enthusiastic Brokers! I strongly recommend RE/MAX. - Melva Smith After several years of keeping an eye on RE/MAX International as I traveled abroad and even to remote locations such as Honduras I noticed there were REMAX signs everywhere! I soon knew that one day I would be a part of such a forward thinking organization. In October of 2008, I began an intense search of real estate companies. I was searching for a company with a stable footing and the ability to survive through the current economic storm. As I investigated all the big companies; Keller Williams, Century 21 and Prudential I discovered that none could compare to the business model of RE/MAX. As I researched the Broker/Owners within those companies, I found Jody Tatone to have the best approach to being ahead of the curve and looking into the future of real estate. Jody is committed to making us (the agents) successful. He is open minded, yet decisive, as a leader should be. The support staff are wonderful. They are competent knowledgeable, cheerful and treat the agents as if we were their clients. I have very much appreciated having multiple principal brokers available. Both Scot and Linda have insight and knowledge to advise the agents of the proper direction when necessary. I appreciate how they are always approachable, extremely helpful and sincerely interested in each transaction. Another thing I really appreciate, is the cutting edge technology, office equipment and electric positive energy that can be felt the minute you enter the office. The synergy and camaraderie is like none other! The education opportunities are unlimited and convenient. I am 1000%, yes, one thousand percent satisfied with my choice to become part of the REMAX family! - Kelley Jarvis 22/23
