The RE/MAX Excellence story...
No doubt you've heard other peoples versions of RE/MAX Excellence. Some of what you have been told will be accurate, some not. Most of what others will have offered you will be coloured with bias.
You will agree that the RE/MAX system clearly works. 120,000 plus sales people from 69 countries around the world will attest to that. In fact, it has been statistically proven that no real estate organisation in the world sells more real estate than RE/MAX.
Why? It's in the doing. The RE/MAX system rewards the people that do the work!
The Phenomenon
RE/MAX is the fastest growing real estate organisation in the world.
Business magazine, Entrepreneur, has recognised RE/MAX as the number one real estate franchise in the USA for the past 4 years and in its recent Franchise 500 magazine, RE/MAX as the No. 1 Real Estate and the 11th fastest growing company in the world today.
RE/MAX is listed in the much publicized hard-cover business book '50 Companies That Changed the World' alongside the likes of the giant Microsoft.
Having revolutionised the real estate industry throughout the world, RE/MAX has boldly challenged the Australian market. After 10 years of business in this country, RE/MAX has over 96 offices with a sales force in excess of 718 performers all around Australia offering their real estate clients a new, more professional level of real estate practise.
RE/MAX is people focused – a new culture in our industry. RE/MAX want to be represented by the industries finest. Ultimately, it is the quality of its people – sales professionals –who have made RE/MAX the giant it is today.
A Closer Look at Your Earnings
RE/MAX Excellence associates have the option to earn up to 100% commission on every sale. In return, for all the office administration and marketing support, you are asked to pay a contribution towards these services each month. This is the 'desk fee' that our competitors perceive as being untenable and unaffordable. Your own office may have tried to apply this fear factor to you and your sales colleagues?
Nothing could be further from the truth. We prefer to call this monthly contribution our ‘shared office expense' this monthly charge will be far less than the one you are already paying. Yes, that's correct – you are already paying a desk fee where you are but you just haven't recognised it! Think about every commission you earn and the 50 %( or more for some agents) that you hand back to your principal? Very expensive desk fee!
The RE/MAX Excellence system is transparent. Our commission options allow you to start at your comfort level and grow at your own speed. 50/50; maybe 70/30; or up to 100% - your choice!!
If you are like most agents in a traditional office, you will often look at your pay cheque in dismay and ask "is it all really worth it?"
With RE/MAX.......absolutely!! Once a sales associate joins us and reaps the rewards, without exception, they wonder why they didn't make the move sooner.
Where are you today?
If you asked your current boss what he believed was his 'core product' he would probably respond with 'listing and selling properties.'
At RE/MAX Excellence, we look after things differently. We know our core product. It's creating an environment for agents like you to become their best, while allowing them to strive for success at a level and pace they're comfortable with.
We provide a supportive and harmonious office environment where people are genuinely valued and supported to the highest level in their endeavours to improve themselves.
At RE/MAX Excellence we realise there is strength in sharing. That is why you will find documents, information, marketing aids and the latest technology at your fingertips, for your own use on a daily basis. Concepts from around the world are shared and available online.
RE/MAX Excellence and the RE/MAX University offer you sales and motivational training through its exclusive satellite TV channel. This is a world first in the industry! Here you can view news about other RE/MAX colleagues, motivation, sales education and training online at a time of your choosing.
At RE/MAX Excellence, we believe it is crucial for you to take time out to devote to the personal side of life – your family and friends- and will always encourage you to keep your working hours in balance which will help recharge your energies.
At RE/MAX Excellence, you get your life back.
Where do you want to be?
RE/MAX Excellence sales associates are perceived as being independent entrepreneurs. This earns the respect of industry peers and other professionals in the community. Most importantly, it generates an intense pride that comes from making your own way, but with the strength of a global giant beside you.
Events and Training
The RE/MAX Excellence system is built upon the idea that the salesperson is the single most important part of our organisation. In support of that core concept, RE/MAX Excellence endeavours to provide as many events and training occasions as possible, to help recognise the importance of our members and grant them the opportunity to learn from one another.
RE/MAX Excellence prides itself on a culture of teamwork and idea-sharing. For this reason our events not only focus on motivation and education, but also on networking and collaboration while on the path to personal growth and outstanding results.
Annual RE/MAX Australasian Convention
Lasting for three days, the annual Australasian Convention is the biggest event on the RE/MAX calendar for members both in Australia and New Zealand. Each year the convention attracts hundreds of agents and brokers from across the two nations. Those attending are treated to deliveries from world class speakers, who actively engage our members on topical issues such as advances in technology, personal motivation, stress management and balancing work and lifestyle. The Convention also features an Awards Night which recognises the achievements of RE/MAX Australia's top –performers over the previous year. Importantly, a portion of the Convention is also allocated to fun nights and formal dinners to allow our members to relax, enjoy some time with their friends and colleagues, and take the opportunity to network with one another.
International Convention
Each year RE/MAX International hosts a Convention for RE/MAX members worldwide – this draws an annual attendance of approximately 15,000 people! Rotating between Las Vegas, San Diego and Orlando, much like the Australasian Convention, the International Convention features the industry's top guest speakers, training and entertainment.
High Achievers
To recognise and support RE/MAX Australia's high achievers, every 6 months members who have settled in excess of $150,000 in commissions during the previous 6 month period are invited to a variety of special functions which feature industry-best speakers and trainers. This is designed to assist our best people to become better and to continue their winning ways.
Sales Rallies
Motivation is the key to becoming a top-performing salesperson. Although a large portion of motivation needs to come from within, RE/MAX is eager to do whatever it can to stoke that fire within our members. With that in mind, RE/MAX Australia regularly hosts State-based Sales Rallies to motivate and challenge our members with top speakers and local success stories – helping to raise both expectations and results.
RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships
RE/MAX has been the worldwide naming sponsor of this major international event since 1995. In Australia and across the globe, golfers compete in state and national qualifying events in an attempt to win a spot at the World Finals held in Nevada, USA each October. Anyone can enter this event – you do not have to be a RE/MAX member or professional golfer. The event has several categories including juniors, men's, women's, seniors and super seniors divisions.
Community Events
Both centrally, and through our individual franchise offices, RE/MAX Australia is frequently involved in community events – particularly those involving our major charity partner, Camp Quality. Camp Quality is an outstanding not-for-profit organisation which runs ongoing recreational and education programs for children living with cancer and their families. Since 1999, RE/MAX has raised more than $500,000 for Camp Quality, through donations from our members and wide-variety of creative fundraising initiatives.
Orientation Training
Each new member of the RE/MAX Australia family undertakes a full-day Orientation Course. The course covers all of the systems, policies, procedures and philosophy's of the world s most successful real estate franchise network.
