Global REMAX Week 2025! A Great Time To Make a Real Difference

Since day one, REMAX affiliates have created and upheld the brand’s industry-leading culture – one rooted in professionalism, productivity, integrity and compassion. These likeminded entrepreneurs share a collective desire to serve and improve their local communities.

One prime example: participating in Global REMAX Week, the REMAX brand’s annual event for community service around the world. The 2025 Global REMAX Week will take place October 5-11.

What started as a singular day of service five years ago has evolved into a full week of giving back. During Global REMAX Week, affiliates find creative ways to get involved, often targeting the specific needs of their community. REMAX has a presence in more than 110 countries and territories, and people in many of these places participate in the event – making for an immense impact across continents.

For REMAX agents and offices seeking inspiration in 2025, here are a few examples of what affiliates have done in past years during Global REMAX Week:

• Hosted fundraisers to support local charities
• Collected donations for food, children’s toys, pet products and school supplies
• Participated in outdoor clean-ups
• Planted trees
• Donated blood
• Volunteered at food donation centers, schools, animal shelters and senior citizen centers
• Chartered REMAX hot air balloon rides to spread joy
• Gotten involved with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals

“REMAX affiliates make a difference in the lives of others all year round, but Global REMAX Week is an important opportunity for everyone to go above and beyond with their charitable efforts. In 2025, all REMAX affiliates around the world are encouraged to participate in helping communities and changing lives,” says Shawna Gilbert, Senior Vice President of REMAX Global and Commercial.

“Global REMAX Week is one of those times that makes you immeasurably proud to be part of this amazing real estate network,” she adds.

So, why do affiliates choose to give back during Global REMAX Week? For many, the main reason is the opportunity to serve people.

“At REMAX Gateway, we believe real estate is about more than transactions – it’s about people, relationships and community. Participating in Global REMAX Week each year enables us to embody our core value of giving back by involving our agents and supporting the charities and communities with which we have relationships,” says Jenifer Morin, manager of REMAX Gateway, a brokerage with offices throughout Virginia. “The teamwork opportunities are amazing and add to the depth of our solid company culture. Community service is a cornerstone of our culture because we know strong communities build strong businesses.”

Last year, the agents of REMAX Gateway took part in myriad charitable activities, including walking dogs and spending time with pets at a nearby animal shelter.

Morin continues, “When we come together to serve – whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or simply showing up – we create a ripple effect of positive change that goes far beyond the sale or purchase of a home.”

This sentiment is shared around the world.

“At REMAX Japan, we participate in Global REMAX Week because it’s a valuable opportunity to remind ourselves of the importance of giving back to the communities we serve. As professionals in real estate, our job is deeply connected to people’s lives, we believe that contributing to our communities is not only meaningful, but essential,” shares the REMAX Japan region, which hosted a community-wide cleanup effort. “We also feel connected to REMAX affiliates around the world during this week, which reinforces that we are part of a global network united by shared values and purpose.”

Over 7,000 miles away, REMAX affiliates in the Cayman Islands feel connected to their peers near and far through service, too. Last year, they raised money for local causes, cleaned up outdoor spaces, hosted community events and more last year.

“Global REMAX Week reinforces our shared values and reminds us that, even on a small island, we’re part of something much bigger,” says the REMAX Cayman Islands region, who is gearing up for the celebratory week in 2025.

This fall, participants of Global REMAX Week are encouraged to share their efforts – and inspire others – by using the #GlobalREMAXWeek hashtag on social media.
