New Ad Campaign Illustrates True Value of Real Estate Agents “Sign of a RE/MAX Agent” Launches in January

DENVER – RE/MAX, LLC will launch its new ad campaign at the end of the month. Created by the real estate franchisor’s lead advertising agency Camp + King, the “Sign of a RE/MAX Agent” campaign focuses on the true value that a RE/MAX agent offers throughout the home buying experience from concept to close. The colorful 2016 campaign is anchored by four 30-second TV commercials that feature a behind-the-scenes look at what RE/MAX agents do to ensure a positive experience – the hustle, the staging, the open house, the leap of faith, the offer.

"The challenge every day for real estate agents is conveying their value and then delivering the results buyers and sellers are looking for – and nobody meets the challenge better than RE/MAX agents," said Adam Contos, RE/MAX Chief Operating Officer. "We wanted our new ads to tell this story in a whole new way, and we found just the right agency to pull it off."

Camp + King filmed the “Sign of a RE/MAX Agent” spots on location in Los Angeles with famed music video director and photographer Autumn de Wilde. She aspired to show the heart and character of real estate agents through the commercials’ unique production style. “RE/MAX agents are dedicated to making the home buying and selling process as frictionless as possible for their clients,” said Jamie King, Camp + King Founder & CEO. “As such, much of what they do happens behind the scenes – we wanted to celebrate these moments and bring them to life.” The 2016 national ad campaign will run throughout the calendar year starting February 15; print and radio will begin the same month as well. Agents in participating RE/MAX regions will also have access to a variety of customizable assets for use in multiple formats: TV, radio, print, out-of-home, digital and social.

RE/MAX, LLC Sells Last Corporate-Owned Brokerages Brokerage Sales Make RE/MAX 100% Franchised Organization

DENVER – RE/MAX, LLC has sold its two remaining corporate-owned brokerages, RE/MAX Northwest in Seattle, Wash. and RE/MAX Equity Group in Portland, Ore. Last year, the global real estate franchisor sold RE/MAX 100 with six offices in Maryland and Virginia. As a result of these three brokerage sales, RE/MAX franchise offices are now completely independently owned. “When RE/MAX went public in 2013, we stated our intention to divest of these three corporate owned brokerages to ensure that our focus would be entirely on the growth of our network as a franchise organization,” said Dave Liniger, CEO, Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder of RE/MAX, LLC. “We’re so pleased that in each of these sales, current RE/MAX broker/owners were the buyers. There couldn’t have been any better outcome than this.” The owner of RE/MAX On the Lake, Matt van Winkle, now owns the largest number of RE/MAX offices in Washington state with the purchase of RE/MAX Northwest. The largest real estate brokerage in Oregon, RE/MAX Equity Group, and its 12 offices was purchased by Chuck and Chad Ochsner, the father and son owners of one of the largest brokerages in Colorado, RE/MAX Alliance. The Ochsners now own 33 RE/MAX offices with more than 1,400 agents. Last April, RE/MAX 100 was sold to RE/MAX Realty Group broker/owner Ken Crowley. The two companies together have more than 400 agents and combined sales of nearly $1.4 billion. “We’re confident that the agents in all these offices, and their clients, are in very good hands with these new owners, who are among the most accomplished individuals in our industry,” Liniger added. RE/MAX has over 6,800 franchises in nearly 100 counties, a global footprint larger than any competitor. The Denver-based franchisor was recently recognized as the leading real estate brand in the Franchise 500 survey by Entrepreneur magazine; measured by growth, strength and stability, this year marks its fourth consecutive year leading the industry. RE/MAX has held #1 market share in the U.S. and Canada each year since 1999 as measured by residential transaction sides. # # #
