Browsing for a new place to call home is exciting. What’s more exciting? Finally finding “the one” – and imagining all of the memories yet to be made there. During your house search process, here’s how to know if you’ve come across an offer-worthy spot. The home has your essentialsWhen looking for a home, it’s smart to view some features as must-haves and others as nice-to-haves. For example, you might need a certain number of bedrooms, whereas cosmetic upgrades, or extras like a pool, might be among the things you want but can live without. If location is the top priority, you may need to compromise on some home features. If you have more flexibility in terms of location, you can expand your property search and have more inventory to choose from. Price is another important component – and it’s important for a house to be a good fit financially. Is a prospective home in your price range, especially after factoring in things like mortgage interest, insurance and potential HOA dues? Does it need renovations – and if so, what do those costs look like? Ponder questions like these as you zero in on a potential new home. The home helps you achieve your goalsYou might be searching for a forever home – or you could be looking for one that would suit your lifestyle for the next several years. Either way, when considering if a property is the best fit, make sure it aligns with your personal goals. An example: If you’re hoping to expand your family or have relatives move in to create a multigenerational household, determine whether the place you’re considering can support those plans. The home suits the needs of those who will live thereIt’s important that the home meets the needs of all stakeholders making the purchase, as well as those who will live there. Check that everyone is agreement and can envision their future in the home. This is true for kids and pets, too. Does the property have outdoor space? Or is it nearby to parks and outdoor recreation opportunities? Does it have a fence for four-legged friends who might be a flight risk – or a patio for those who like to catch some rays? Consider what features make sense for you and your loved ones. The home makes you happyBuying a home is an incredible milestone. In fact, it’s likely the largest transaction you’ll make in your lifetime. And being a homeowner can come with great perks, like stability, equity, freedom to get creative, and so much more. If the thought of owning a certain home makes you jump for joy, then it might just be “the one.” Starting the home search process? Connect with a local REMAX agent today. REMAX agents are knowledgeable and trustworthy – plus, they have the experience to get the job done in today’s market.

Read More....3 Productivity-Boosting Tips From an Under-30 Real Estate Pro
When a 21-year-old Bryan Schube entered the real estate profession, he was unsure of what the path to success would look like. Now an exceptional entrepreneur at 29, Schube can proudly say that path has been paved by hard work, dedication and innovation. Schube, an agent with RE/MAX Unlimited Results Realty in Tiffin, Ohio, has closed more than 220 transaction sides so far in his career, conducting sales in a wide variety of property types, from residential to commercial to agricultural. He’s also a valuable member of the Jones Home Team, which earned RE/MAX Chairman’s Club status for its high production in 2024. Schube, a finalist for the REALTOR® Magazine 30 Under 30 Class of 2025, shares three productivity tips for fellow agents: 1. Know your customer wellA customer-first approach is the key to success, according to Schube. “For me, real estate has never been just about selling houses – it’s about the people who make them home. Taking the time to really get to know my clients has allowed me to anticipate their needs, help them navigate challenges and make the process as smooth as possible. It’s about building relationships that last long after the real estate transaction is over,” he says. “I’ve always found that the best agents listen more than they talk. The more I understand my clients’ needs and wants, the better I can help them find the right home and negotiate the best deal. It’s not just about closing a sale – it’s about putting them in the right position to succeed.” 2. Leverage tech to expand your reachHarnessing the power of technology is crucial in real estate. Through cutting-edge marketing strategies (with trend-driven social media content) and integrated tech platforms, Schube continuously seeks ways to grow his sphere and enhance the real estate experience for clients and agents alike. “Using technology means connecting with more people and making the process smoother for my clients. By embracing the most up-to-date technology, like MAX/Tech® powered by BoldTrail, I can streamline communication, enhance marketing efforts and provide real-time insights,” Schube says. “My clients find this incredibly useful, as it helps them stay informed, navigate the market more efficiently, and achieve their real estate goals faster and with less stress.” He adds, “In today’s digital world, having a thoughtful online presence is crucial. I’ve found that using the right tech tools help me work smarter, not harder, while still delivering a top-notch experience for my clients.” 3. Have an effective support system in placeAligning with a productive team has shown Schube the value in being part of a collaborative community – one that roots for him every day. It’s something he’d suggest for other growth-minded professionals, too. “I’ve learned that no one builds a successful real estate career on their own. It’s all about surrounding yourself with people who challenge you, support you, and push you to be better every single day,” Schube shares. “I’m fortunate to have a team and brokerage who do just that – and it’s made all the difference. Their guidance has not only helped me grow but has also allowed me to become a leader myself. A supportive team and a forward-thinking brokerage create an environment where I can be my best and keep pushing toward bigger goals.” Through April 9, head over to REALTOR Magazine and vote daily for Schube to earn a spot in the 30 Under 30 Class of 2025.

In 2025, that unmatched footprint continues to grow. Toward the end of February, RE/MAX officially sold master franchise rights in Côte d’Ivoire, furthering its prominence across Western Africa. “We’re excited to welcome Côte d’Ivoire into our growing global network. The entrepreneurs leading this promising region have clear visions for success, and under their guidance, many real estate professionals will have access to exceptional opportunities,” says Shawna Gilbert, RE/MAX Senior Vice President of Global and Commercial. Constant Tanflotien, Aboubacar Coulibaly and Tibo Guigma-Premillieu will be heading up the new RE/MAX region. “We saw a unique opportunity to leverage the globally recognized RE/MAX brand, agent-centric business model, and cutting-edge technology to establish trust and credibility in Côte d’Ivoire’s evolving real estate market,” they share. “By introducing international standards of professionalism, transparency and innovation, we aim to elevate industry practices, formalize the sector, and create lasting value for agents, clients, and investors – while leaving a lasting impact on the country’s real estate industry.” 9cb9b05d-9b0c-4668-9a99-d0a825be50ca 3Put simply, the dynamic trio’s plan is growth. “Our goal is to establish RE/MAX as the market leader in Côte d’Ivoire.

RE/MAX is a business that builds local businesses – and the brand’s affiliates are able to do things their very own way. Just ask Elli Jennings Shindelar, whose mindset, determination and creativity have helped her business – and productivity – stand out from the competition. Shindelar is a member of the Jennings Real Estate Team with RE/MAX Real Estate Center in Ames, Iowa. She’s part of the RE/MAX Chairman’s Club, placing her among the brand’s highest producers in a given year. She’s also earned a coveted spot in the RE/MAX Hall of Fame for her impressive career production. Having recently turned 26, Shindelar is one of the the youngest entrepreneurs in these honorable RE/MAX groups. In an exclusive Q&A with RE/MAX News, Shindelar shares why client trust is the backbone of her business – and provides tips for fellow agents on showcasing their authenticity and achieving greatness. 472180575_9517695981652283_3530490988425730974_nElli Jennings ShindelarHow did you know real estate was the right career for you? I honestly didn’t – not at first. Real estate was all I ever knew growing up. My parents owned a RE/MAX brokerage, and I spent so much time in their office or tagging along on showings that it just felt like background noise to my life. It was never something they pushed on me, either. I had every intention of doing something different. My parents never said, “You should get your real estate license and join the family business,” even though I imagine that’s probably every parent’s dream. And now, with all of us licensed – including my brother and sister – it has become a dream come true. But it all happened naturally. I got my license for a practical reason: It was on us kids to pay for college, and I figured I could earn money hosting showing for agents I already knew. I understood the flow, I was comfortable in the environment, and I had worked in the office during high school to make extra cash. Then came a bit of beginner’s luck: During my first year of college, I was helping host an open house and I asked what to do if someone came through unrepresented. The agents said, “Why don’t you take them?” I didn’t expect much, but two different groups of first-time homebuyers showed up – both without agents – and just like that, I had clients of my own! From there, my business snowballed. I was only 18, but I already had an amazing support group of agents to shadow, as well as my parents, who modeled what it meant to be great at this job. They showed me real estate isn’t about being a pushy salesperson – it’s about being a good person, wanting to do the right thing, and building trust. That was the kind of agent I wanted to become. What has fueled your success, earning you a spot in the RE/MAX Chairman’s Club and RE/MAX Hall of Fame? Consistency. Confidence. And putting myself out there – even when it felt uncomfortable. I started selling real estate at 18 years old, and let’s be honest – convincing someone to trust a teenager to guide them through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives isn’t easy. I had to grow up quickly in the business. I had to learn how to come across as experienced, mature, and professional. It took a lot of self-talk, mentorship and learning on the fly. But even early on, I’d hear
