RE/MAX Network Supports Earthquake Victims in Turkey, Syria

On Monday, February 6, 2023, a series of devastating earthquakes struck regions of Turkey and Syria, causing destruction to communities and claiming the lives of more than 36,000 people. While relief operations continue, RE/MAX affiliates are making financial contributions to help.  

RE/MAX, LLC has established a donation page, in collaboration with CARE USA, to help fund ongoing relief efforts in Turkey and Syria. Donations can be made here: care.org/REMAX 

While RE/MAX does not have a presence in Syria, the independently owned and operated RE/MAX Turkey region has over 5,700 agents in 260 offices across the country. Twenty of those offices, and about 200 of those affiliates, were located in communities hit hardest by earthquakes. To date, RE/MAX Turkey is reporting that all affiliates are accounted for.

RE/MAX Turkey leaders and affiliates are on the ground helping in many ways, and the region has set up a relief fund to support efforts.

“It’s hard to fathom what people in Turkey and Syria are experiencing right now,” says Shawna Gilbert, RE/MAX Senior Vice President of Global and Commercial. “RE/MAX Turkey has been a standout region for more than 25 years, so its leaders and affiliates have relationships and friends throughout the network. Our hearts are breaking for the communities we know this region to love, cultivate and support. Our hope is that through financial contributions, the RE/MAX network can help these communities navigate the aftermath of such destruction to the cities they call home.”

Anyone interested in offering financial support to affected communities in Turkey and Syria can do so via care.org/REMAX.
