Great brand name and history provides a good background story to support the agents. Unlimited income potential only hindered by the economy.Can work independently without constant supervision.

It would be better with more corporate and local owner support for agents during the slower economic times that would allow agents to continue to grow.

I enjoyed Re/max. The marketshare is great. I always stayed busy. Leads come in from both online and via e-mail. You can also get calls on floor.

Treat office staff better

Pros

1. Flexible because your self-employed
2. Very financially rewarding during stable economic periods
3. The training is among the best, if not the best in real estate sales and prospecting

Cons

1. Financially woeful when the economy is in a down turn
2. Lots of investment in cars, gas, insurance, brokerage fees, mls fees, realtor fees, fees, fees, and more fees.

Advice to Senior Management

The fees have not reflected the decrease in commission amounts. This is not a problem due to the local management. This is reflective of HQ and the dues. The commission splits are actually very fair provided that the agent makes commission.

Pros

The Remax organization allows realtors the ability to improve their craft and conduct business with a high level of professionalism.

Cons

The organization is made up of franchises and each office is independently owned. Sometimes an independent agent feels lost in a big organization.

Advice to Senior Management

Make it easier for the independent agent to be heard in the larger organization. Offer advice, classes or avenues that agents can give or take regarding the housing crisis.
