41 Years and Counting: RE/MAX Named a Top Franchisor by Entrepreneur

2025 marks another year – 41 years, to be exact – of RE/MAX being named to the Entrepreneur Franchise 500, a ranking of leading franchisor brands.

The companies on the prestigious annual list are evaluated based on factors like cost, fees, support, size, growth and brand strength.

According to Entrepreneur, the ranking underscores the resiliency of the franchise model through any economic conditions and the increasing interest for entrepreneurs to build their business on the foundation of a renowned franchisor – like RE/MAX, which has a presence in more than 110 countries and territories and leads the real estate industry in brand awareness*.

“It’s an honor for RE/MAX to once again earn a spot on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list alongside other household name brands spanning all industries,” says Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, parent company of RE/MAX, Motto Mortgage and wemlo.

“With RE/MAX, franchisees benefit from a variety of competitive advantages – from the brand’s global reputation to the tools, resources and support that can help them excel in their local markets.”

Throughout 2024, RE/MAX was named to multiple prominent franchisor lists developed by Entrepreneur, including Top Global Franchises, Top Franchises for Less Than $50K and Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners.

That recognition is fitting, because when franchisees launch their RE/MAX business, they’re joining something special. In fact:

• RE/MAX is the most productive real estate network in the world**.
• RE/MAX agents average more sales than other real estate agents.
• RE/MAX is in more countries than any other real estate brand.
• More buyers and sellers think of RE/MAX than any other real estate brand***.
