LAS VEGAS, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- RE/MAX (NYSE:RMAX), the
global real estate franchisor, is holding its annual R4 international
convention this week at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Nearly 6,000
attending agents are here to listen to the vision of cofounders Dave
and Gail Liniger, learn best practices from respected coaches, and
network with their colleagues from 53 countries around the globe.
"The housing market has experienced a positive rebound during the
last few years and RE/MAX is pleased to play a role by serving so many
homebuyers and sellers," said Dave Liniger, CEO, Chairman of the Board and Co-Founder of RE/MAX, LLC. "Our
continued success is no secret, it's simply the high quality agents who
choose to work at RE/MAX. Consumers around the world have come to
expect a superior level of service from their RE/MAX agent and our
agents have delivered time and again."
Addressing the gathering this afternoon in the Mandalay Bay Special
Events Center, Dave Liniger announced that the company continues to grow
by all significant measurements. The audience was excited to hear the
details of the network's 2014 achievements as compared to the prior
year:
- Worldwide agent count grew by 5.1% to 98,010

With a presence in over 95 countries, no other real estate brand

by selling the Master Franchise rights to another five countries. It
remains true that nobody in the world sells more real estate than
RE/MAX.
Linger said, "RE/MAX agents are among the most productive in real
estate and they've been successful in both challenging markets and
recovering ones, and in a great many housing markets around the world."
