RE/MAX has been named the No. 1 real estate franchise

Entrepreneur magazine will announce in its January issue that RE/MAX ranked above all competitors in its 2013 Franchise 500.

This is the 10th time in the last 14 years that RE/MAX has won the honor of being the No. 1 real estate franchise in the survey that is dominated by iconic brands such as Subway, 7-Eleven, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s.

“We are pleased, but not surprised, to be ranked No. 1,” said RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly. “Our sales associates, broker/ owners and regional master franchisors are talented groups who help each other excel whatever the market conditions. The 40th anniversary of RE/MAX in January is a tribute to our company’s agent-centric philosophy and the innovative entrepreneurs that it attracts.”

Entrepreneur franchise ratings are based on financial strength and stability, growth rate and size, and startup costs. In the U.S., RE/MAX leads the industry in per-agent productivity and has No. 1 market share.
