DENVER, March 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Only a few short
months into the new year, RE/MAX, LLC reached significant
milestones that are expanding its international influence. As part
of a continuing global initiative, two master franchise sales and
an improved online experience for global.remax.com visitors kicked
off the first quarter.
"RE/MAX is the most productive real estate network and we're
always looking for new, vibrant ways to expand international
opportunities on behalf of our franchisees and consumers," said
Larry Oberly, Vice President, Global
Development of RE/MAX, LLC. "Our growth around the world is due
to the strength of the RE/MAX business model, which attracts
entrepreneurial minded people with a variety of business
backgrounds."
In the first quarter of 2016, RE/MAX sold two master franchises
in Malaysia and Myanmar. Andre
Keller and Alex Gomez, Region
Owners of RE/MAX Malaysia, are
planning the opening of their first regional office in Kuala Lumpur. The duo plans to focus on
working with younger professionals to provide career opportunities
rooted in an innovative network, international brand power and
advanced technology.
RE/MAX Myanmar co-Region Owners
Joseph Khoo, Ken Lim, Stephen Lee, Darrit Cho and Kaung Myat are expecting to establish a regional
office in Yangon, the country's
economic center. The group, with strong ties to RE/MAX
Singapore, is looking forward to
expanding the American-based franchise model, while creating higher
professional standards within the local real estate community.
Late last month, the new global.remax.com was unveiled at the
international RE/MAX R4 convention, which was attended by 6,000
Affiliates from 63 countries and territories.
In an effort to enhance the online user experience, a variety of
user friendly functions were added. The responsive website now
features properties in more than 80 countries and territories, in
43 languages and 57 currencies, an interactive map search
capability and an option to search properties based on budget in
addition to location. Global.remax.com also averages approximately
750,000 RE/MAX listings.
These recent global successes come on the heels of a successful
2015. Last year, four countries joined the RE/MAX network
propelling the total number of RE/MAX agents outside the U.S. and
Canada to over 25,000, an annual
growth of 15.4 percent. RE/MAX has more offices, in more countries,
than any other real estate brand.
