14 Years Straight: REMAX Named a Top Global Franchise Once Again

REMAX has been named a Top Global Franchise by Entrepreneur for the 14th consecutive year, highlighting the brand’s international reach and the business opportunities it offers entrepreneurs around the world. The 2026 rankings position REMAX as the No. 1 global real estate franchise and 65^th franchise brand overall.

The REMAX network includes more than 145,000 agents in nearly 8,500 offices and a presence in over 120 countries and territories, and REMAX agents worldwide sell more real estate than any other brand¹. The REMAX network pairs broad global recognition with the local knowledge and leadership needed to serve clients and grow businesses in individual communities.

“REMAX is recognized around the world, but the opportunity is always local,” says Shawna Gilbert, Senior Vice President of REMAX Global. “REMAX agents and Broker/Owners bring the brand to life in their own communities, creating careers, serving clients and building businesses that reflect their markets. Their ambition and leadership continue to expand what the REMAX network can achieve across countries, cultures and borders.”

Entrepreneur’s Top Global Franchises ranking is designed for entrepreneurs considering franchise ownership in the U.S. or abroad. The publication evaluates brands seeking international franchisees, giving added weight to international size and growth while also considering costs and fees, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. The continued recognition of REMAX reflects a franchise system with the scale, credibility and support to help independently owned businesses establish a presence in diverse markets.

“For entrepreneurs around the world, REMAX offers the opportunity to build a locally led business with the resources and relationships of an established global network behind them,” says Pierre Montagna, REMAX Vice President of Global Sales. “New Broker/Owners can draw on the expertise of professionals who understand the brand and the realities of doing business in different markets, while creating an operation that fits the culture and needs of the communities they serve.”

Fourteen consecutive years of recognition demonstrate the consistency of the quality professionals behind the REMAX name and the possibilities created when local entrepreneurs connect through a global network.
