REMAX Premier Expands into Chicago’s North Shore with Acquisition of Five Compass Offices

Chicago, IL – REMAX Premier, one of Chicago’s top-performing real estate brokerages, is proud to announce its expansion into the North Shore through the acquisition and rebranding of five Compass offices located in Glencoe, Glenview, Highland Park, Lake Forest and Winnetka. These offices—now with The REMAX Collection, the luxury division of REMAX—bring a strong foothold in the North Shore’s competitive luxury market and will begin transitioning to the REMAX brand between now and October 13. An official announcement event will be hosted next week at the Northmoor Country Club in Highland Park.

This expansion brings the full strength of the REMAX brand to one of the most prestigious real estate markets in the Midwest. Recognized as the most trusted real estate brand in the U.S.¹ and the most productive by transaction sides², REMAX offers buyers and sellers in the North Shore access to unmatched global exposure, innovative technology and marketing tools that elevate every listing. Properties listed with REMAX are marketed in more than 110 countries and territories and can be translated into local languages and currencies—an essential advantage for international luxury buyers.

“REMAX is more than a brand—it’s a platform built for productivity, innovation, and agent empowerment,” said Janice Corley, Founder and CEO of REMAX Premier. “We’re excited to expand that value to the North Shore, where clients and agents alike deserve access to the most trusted name in real estate, cutting-edge technology and marketing tools that truly move the needle.”

The addition of REMAX Premier in the North Shore also opens new doors for licensed agents in the area. With a business model designed to support entrepreneurial agents and maximize their success, REMAX offers a compelling alternative to traditional brokerage structures.

“Unlike many real estate companies today that are owned by venture capital or hedge funds with no local presence,” Corley added, “REMAX was founded to empower entrepreneurial agents—giving them the freedom to run their business as they see fit, with the support of a brokerage owner who is truly invested in their success.”

With this expansion, REMAX Premier now operates 10 offices with hundreds of agents across Chicagoland and Houston, TX.
