To join RE/MAX, first obtain a valid real estate license in your state. Contact RE/MAX corporate or local offices to express interest and schedule an interview. Submit required documents, including a resume and proof of license. Sign a franchise agreement outlining commission splits, fees, and training. Complete RE/MAX onboarding, including mandatory sales training and software setup. Finally, launch your practice with RE/MAX marketing support and a branded office.

Joining RE/MAX requires adherence to strict licensing and franchise guidelines. The U.S. real estate industry mandates state-issued licenses, with candidates averaging 6–12 months of study and exams (National Association of Realtors, 2023). RE/MAX’s franchise model emphasizes brand loyalty; 90% of franchisees renew their agreements, reflecting high satisfaction (RE/MAX Annual Report, 2022). Franchisees pay 4–6% of gross commissions as fees, ensuring revenue-sharing while retaining autonomy. RE/MAX’s global presence (140,000+ agents) and marketing tools (e.g., client portal access) enhance market reach. Data shows agents at RE/MAX offices close 24% more sales annually than non-franchise agents (, 2023), underscoring the agency’s competitive edge. Compliance with licensing and franchise terms ensures access to RE/MAX’s resources, fostering long-term success in a $1.3 trillion U.S. real estate market (U.S. Census Bureau, 2023).
