The real estate powerhouse continues to grow
its roster of strategic alliances, promoting leadership and
entrepreneurship opportunities for all
DENVER, April 14,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RE/MAX, LLC today announced
a new corporate partnership with the Women's Council of REALTORS®.
Through this new relationship, RE/MAX Affiliates in the U.S. are
even more empowered to become involved with the Women's Council and
its extensive resources and leadership development opportunities.
The Women's Council's online referral system paves the way for new
connections within a membership network of 12,000 high-achieving
real estate professionals.
RE/MAX has a long history of championing a welcoming business
environment for all aspiring entrepreneurs.
Nearly 50 years ago, Dave and Gail
Liniger, two young, ambitious professionals, set out to
build a real estate company that would operate differently than
competitors and ultimately disrupt the real estate industry as a
whole. They hired employees and invited real estate professionals
to join the RE/MAX network who were best qualified, regardless of
gender – a concept not widely adopted at the time. It's a culture
that has continued to evolve and define RE/MAX company values to
this day.
At the end of 2021, the RE/MAX network had 3,400+ Broker/Owners
and over 74,000 RE/MAX agents identifying as women*. RE/MAX
Holdings, Inc., parent company of RE/MAX, also exemplifies its
support of female leadership with two of five C-Suite
executives and 50% of the Board of Directors identifying as
women.
The mission of the Women's Council of REALTORS® is centered
around advancing women as business leaders in both the industry as
well as the local communities they serve. "There are over 800
RE/MAX Affiliates involved in the Women's Council and we are
excited about the potential for this number to grow through our new
corporate partnership with this great organization," says
Shawna Gilbert, RE/MAX
Vice President, Global Development, who will direct the
partnership. "By joining the Women's Council, women leaders in the
RE/MAX network can help ensure their perspectives, collective
experience and ideas are considered – which in turn creates greater
potential to inspire real change."
The Women's Council of REALTORS® joins a comprehensive lineup of
organizations RE/MAX is working with to break down barriers to
homeownership, build a more inclusive real estate experience and
live up to the Company's ethos of being a business that builds
businesses.
Additional organizations RE/MAX supports include the LGBTQ+ Real
Estate Alliance, Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA)
and the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals
(NAHREP).
