I have been licensed since 1988 and with RE/MAX since 1995 and presently Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Prime Properties. ... 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.
