A legacy of innovation and success

From its humble beginnings in the United States to its expansive presence across Europe, RE/MAX has revolutionized the real estate industry with its innovative approach and unwavering commitment to excellence.

1973

A new era in real estate

RE/MAX's journey began in 1973 with a revolutionary concept that transformed the real estate sector - "Maximum commissions". This concept made RE/MAX a phenomenon. Dave and Gail Liniger recognized the importance of empowering agents by allowing them to retain a greater share of their commissions. This innovative approach quickly gained momentum, setting the stage for RE/MAX's global expansion.

Their effort proved to be a resounding success, with the iconic red, white and blue balloon symbolizing RE/MAX's dynamism and innovation in the real estate sector. Spain was the debut country in Europe, and expansion was rapid to many countries on the continent.
