DENVER, Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- RE/MAX
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RMAX), parent company of RE/MAX, one of the
world's leading franchisors of real estate brokerage services, and
Motto Mortgage ("Motto"), an innovative mortgage brokerage
franchise, today announced that after 24 years of dedicated
service, RE/MAX Executive Vice President Mike Ryan will retire from the company.
Ryan joined RE/MAX in 1994 as Director of Operations and quickly
became the driving force behind the real estate industry's first
educational television network, known as RE/MAX Satellite Network
(RSN). He then evolved RSN into the award-winning RE/MAX
University® (RU), a 24/7, on-demand platform broadcasting in high
definition to RE/MAX Associates around the globe.
"Mike, or 'Ryno' as he's known at RE/MAX Headquarters, has
played a significant role in shaping the company since 1994. He's
made an enormous impact on the lives of our membership, employees
and friends in the industry," said RE/MAX CEO Adam Contos. "During his tenure, he's touched
virtually every facet of the company, including education,
franchise sales, marketing, communications and global
expansion."
"It's been my honor to work alongside Co-Founders Dave and
Gail Liniger and so many other
influential real estate leaders and entrepreneurs," said Ryan.
"I've been fortunate to be part of the premier brand in the world.
I've learned something new every step of the way."
As Executive Vice President, Ryan currently oversees Strategic
Business Alliances, Franchise Sales, Commercial, Luxury, Multimedia
and Education. But his influence extends far beyond the RE/MAX
Network. During the U.S. housing crisis, Ryan worked with U.S.
government officials to develop housing policies that helped
distressed homeowners and saved the careers of countless agents and
brokers. He advocated for the Certified Distressed Properties
Expert (CDPE) Designation, which enabled thousands of agents to
become specialists in foreclosures and short sales and helped
countless homeowners during the recession.
Ryan has served on numerous National Association of REALTORS®,
regulatory and real estate boards and committees. He has received
many awards throughout his distinguished career, including the
National Real Estate Leadership Award presented at the 2017 NAR
National Convention. He was recently named a 2019 RISMedia Real
Estate Newsmaker.
While Ryan's retirement from RE/MAX is effective Jan. 2, he will transition his responsibilities
over the next several months and will serve as an industry advisor
to the company.
"I plan to take some time off with my wife and my family, and
then move into the industry advisor role," said Ryan. "I continue
to be excited about the future of RE/MAX and this industry - and
I'm blessed to have as much curiosity and passion as the day I
started."
"We can't thank Mike enough for everything he's done," said
Contos. "Mike is a dear friend, a tremendous leader and a mentor to
so many, and we wish him the very best as he and his wife Diane
step into the next chapter of their lives."
