Honors continue to roll in for RE/MAX leaders in 2025. Nine members of the RE/MAX network and the RE/MAX corporate leadership team have been named to the 2025 RISMedia Newsmakers list – a compilation of notable people making waves in real estate.
Conditions in 2024 created opportunity for the best leaders to embrace change, adapt and succeed. The Newsmakers, according to RISMedia, are those who are doing just that.
“The real estate industry is upheld by incredible leaders who continue to bring fresh ideas and innovations to the table. These RE/MAX leaders’ commitment to raising the bar in real estate and leading by example – based in trust, professionalism and productivity – is a true example for all,” said Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, the parent company of RE/MAX, LLC, Motto Mortgage and wemlo.

Other third-party industry accolades have identified big wins for RE/MAX so far this year, too.

Plus, for the 41st year in a row, RE/MAX was named a top franchisor by Entrepreneur.
