RE/MAX Broker Spotlight: Q&A With Texas Broker/Owner Chris Harden

I have always had an entrepreneurial mindset and loved being my own boss. I saw the limitless opportunities in real estate.

RE/MAX® is known to be a home of the top producers and I knew their associates have the ability to build a business their own way without the corporate approach of some other brokerages.

Amazing. In 2010, I took an existing office that was having problems due to the challenging market of the time, and with guidance from RE/MAX, LLC, changed the culture and brought in some fresh air.

In 2008, RE/MAX market share in my area was not what it is today. But I saw potential with the RE/MAX tools and network, and brought those resources to the forefront. That has made quite the impact in my business.

I took over a struggling office and organically grew our agent count. Experience and knowing what I wanted contributed to this growth. We know we want to attract people that want to align with top producers. I used my experience, and incorporated what I thought was good from my previous company and what I think is good from RE/MAX, and melded the two into a robust business.

RE/MAX is helping me help enhance my agents’ lives. Some of my agents have recently joined RE/MAX from other companies and, with the business building tools RE/MAX has, I have been able to help them get to the next level of their business.

I think one of the biggest resources that my agents take advantage of is the referral opportunities with RE/MAX. This has opened the door of opportunity for some of my agents. As far as tools go, Megaphone has been a game-changer for some of my agents’ social media marketing initiatives.

I think one of the most valuable assets is what originally attracted to me to RE/MAX so long ago: The ability to build a business my way with one of the most reputable brand in the industry.
