Myths

At RE/MAX advertising costs are extremely expensive so even if you pay far less to RE/MAX, you will be paying a lot of money for ads.

All agents have the same lead opportunities at all firms.

-

We take an active position in helping

team members generate more business.

Let us look at how we do this:

RE/MAX represents approximately 50% of all national real

estate advertising. Century 21 announced in 2009 they have

eliminated all such national exposure which means RE/MAX

will far exceed this percentage in 2010.

Why is this important? Because all RE/MAX national

advertising drives consumers to REMAX.com and then to

our team members through RE/MAX LeadStreet.

Market Presence

-

SOLD!

The most lucrative way in which we

help you generate leads is with your

name and your sign. Every sign,

advertising, and personal marketing

call goes to you. If you were a seller,

who would you want handling

every inquiry on your home?

An up-time agent, new agent, or

an agent with a similarly priced property? NO.

Sellers want YOU, the agent with the most knowledge of their

property handling potential buyers.
