Hi, I am a Licensed Associate Broker, and have been successfully selling Real Estate FULL TIME, for 29 years..... 20 of those w/RE/MAX Benchmark Realty Group. ... RE/MAX began as a dream and a plan on a pad of paper, a controversial idea to build a real estate powerhouse where experienced, productive agents would keep more of their commissions and enjoy the freedom to run their business as they saw fit. Combining this model with robust marketing and other agent services RE/MAX absolutely changed the real estate landscape forever.
