5 Real Estate Companies Acknowledged as Top Franchises
This is the fifth consecutive year that RE/MAX topped the real estate franchisors in ranking, and it’s the 14th time in 18 years that RE/MAX has made the list. “Many of our franchisees gravitated to the RE/MAX model because our focus has always been on the needs of the agent,” said Chris Pflueger, RE/MAX’s vice president of business development, in a statement. RE/MAX has in excess of 97,000 real estate agents in over 95 countries, adding 231 franchise locations in 2016 alone, based on the ranking report. “We provide our broker-owners with the leading-edge tools, on-demand education, global brand recognition and more than 40 years of industry-leading experience to attract and recruit the top performing real estate agents in their markets,” Pflueger said.
HomeVestors of America came in at number 52 and Keller Williams Realty at 77. Weichert Real Estate Affiliates Inc. increased 32 spots to number 105 this year, the 13th consecutive year the brand has been named to the list. Realty One Group came in at number 168.
