The RE/MAX franchise network is described as "a global real estate
system of franchisee owned and operated offices and their affiliated
independent professionals". REMAX.CA is the

The company owns several of its own
regional franchises as well as overseeing and licensing individual

operated.
RE/MAX International collects
monthly and annual dues from its agents who act as independent
contractors working under real estate brokers in many countries. In
return, it provides its brokers and agents with corporate services eg.
agent training and advertising.
Its agents operate out of over 6,000 offices worldwide. The company
logo is a hot air balloon; the company slogans, "Above the Crowd", "It's
the Experience", "Nobody in the World Sells More Real Estate than
RE/MAX.". Real RE/MAX balloons sometimes appear at balloon festivals.

the three most valuable established real estate
franchise brands in the nation.
