DENVER – RE/MAX Commercial(R), part of the world’s most productive real estate network*, hosted its tenth annual Commercial Symposium conference earlier this week at RE/MAX World Headquarters in DENVER. Over 150 commercial real estate practitioners attended the two-day conference where they heard from industry leaders and innovators who celebrated the growth of RE/MAX Commercial and highlighted new opportunities in commercial real estate.
“It’s an exciting and dynamic time for commercial real estate,” said Mike Reagan, RE/MAX Senior Vice President, Business Alliances. “The industry is constantly evolving and our practitioners are taking advantage of the many opportunities these changes present. The annual RE/MAX Commercial Symposium is the ideal opportunity to familiarize and educate our network so they can stay on top of the latest trends.”
RE/MAX Commercial has already seen exceptional growth this year. Achievements include:
o Growing to more than 3,100 worldwide RE/MAX Commercial practitioners**
o Now over 620 commercial offices or divisions in 68 countries and territories**
The RE/MAX Commercial Symposium featured courses on diverse topics including multi-family housing growth, how marijuana legislation impacts business, effective listing presentations and the cities of tomorrow. Attendees gained insight on changes in population and demographics, foreign investments and consumer trends from industry insiders.
Greg Lindsay, keynote speaker and renowned expert on urbanism, globalization and real estate development, addressed the changing urban environment that will affect commercial real estate in the future. He also provided strategies practitioners can take to position their businesses for the changing industry.
“The most successful cities and strongest real estate markets over the last decade have been places that are locally close and globally connected – Denver being one example,” Lindsay said. “As Amazon’s list of requirements for its second headquarters indicates, occupiers and their employees want to live and work in cities with a high quality of life, good walkability and transit and great air connections. New practices and technologies such as shared mobility and workspaces are only reinforcing these trends.”
RE/MAX Commercial was recently ranked in National Real Estate Investor (NREI) magazine’s annual Top Brokers list for the seventh consecutive year. Less than a third of the 56 commercial real estate brokerage firms featured in this year’s ranking posted more than $11 billion in transaction volume in 2016. RE/MAX Commercial was ranked 16th with $11,035,477,508 in global transaction volume with more than 25,000 global transactions.
