RE/MAX Sells and Renews Nearly 1,000 Franchises Between July-November 2021

Global expansion efforts

During this period, RE/MAX also expanded the brand’s presence to Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Guyana. With the addition of Guyana, RE/MAX now has a presence in every country in South America.

Some of the new franchisees are converting their existing offices. RE/MAX Broker/Owner Stephen Fleming, for instance, rebranded his independent brokerage to RE/MAX Pathway in October. Fleming, who’s been in the business since 2003, recognized that the Harrisburg, PA area is an increasingly competitive market, and that aligning with RE/MAX was the best way to spark additional growth at his office.

"We were drawn to RE/MAX, not only because of the value and what you get with the franchise,” says Fleming. “It's more than that, it's a community of like-minded, success focused individuals who never hesitate to work on our behalf to get things accomplished."

Peter Luft, RE/MAX Vice President of Franchise Sales, enjoys opening new doors for entrepreneurs looking to succeed in the real estate industry. “We’re adding new offices and opening them quickly so they can start taking advantage of all that RE/MAX provides, such as access to RE/MAX University® education, extensive referral opportunities and dynamic marketing and technology tools.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome Stephen Fleming and our other new owners to the RE/MAX brand as they dedicate themselves to serving their agents, enhancing their communities, and helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals.”
