REMAX Launches Loyalty Program That Rewards Agent Engagement
2025 is a year of innovation for REMAX. And among myriad enhancements to its ever-expanding value proposition, REMAX has a new, interactive way for affiliates to take advantage of everything the brand has to offer. MAXEngageSM, a gamified, easy-to-use app, empowers real estate agents to build their businesses bigger in a fun, creative and competitive way. The concept debuted onstage at the 2025 REMAX R4 convention in February. “With the launch of MAXEngage, REMAX is the first global real estate franchisor brand fueling its agents with a loyalty and rewards program,” says Travis Saxton, Executive Vice President of Strategy for RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. “This exclusive app is yet another competitive edge for REMAX agents that supports business growth and our commitment to deliver the best experience in all things real estate.” Within the MAXEngage app, users can partake in socially led challenges that tap into various REMAX resources and encourage them to get louder about their business. Challenges available at launch are focused on winning in the digital realm by embracing the refreshed REMAX logo and generating social media content. Over time, new challenges will include tasks like completing education courses, creating great listing presentations, sharing referrals and more. When users complete these challenges, they earn points and badges that ultimately correlate to redeemable, real-life rewards (a feature available to U.S. and Canadian users now and coming to the global audience soon, too.) In addition to being able to track their own personal performance and progress within the app, REMAX agents can check out how they stack up against others through the global leaderboard. MAXEngage is available to all members of the REMAX network – a community of more than 145,000 entrepreneurs worldwide. The app is currently configured for English and Spanish, and will soon be accessible in French, Chinese, Portuguese and Arabic, too. A digitized central gathering space, MAXEngage also allows users to chat with others through the app’s community forum, a spot for meaningful connection and idea-sharing inspiration. Plus, it’s where agents can learn tips and tricks for using tech tools, hear about upcoming education opportunities, and more. 25_236_maxengage_social_rk_finalThe REMAX network is ready to log in – and dive inJason Rains, leader of the Your KC Seller team with RE/MAX Elite Realtors in Lees Summit, Missouri, is a member of the REMAX Trailblazers group, an assembly of affiliates involved in the rollout of the brand’s latest innovations, like MAXEngage. He’s ready for this particular digital platform to take the network by storm – especially when it comes to social media content creation. “Absolutely loving MAXEngage so far! This is a way for REMAX agents to get involved and brand themselves along with the most powerful name in real estate,” Rains says. “I talk to a lot of agents who say they don’t post or engage on social media because they don’t know what to say or what to post. MAXEngage helps to take the guesswork out of what to post. Within the app, you can complete the challenges, engage in the community, and connect with other REMAX agents,” he adds. Aimee Lee Lucas, a social media-savvy agent with RE/MAX Preferred Properties, Inc. in Knoxville, Tennessee, shares her excitement for the tech tool’s debut, too. “REMAX is making incredible strides, and it shows in a big way. From the redesigned logo to the launch of

For many real estate entrepreneurs, receiving business through referral is the mark of a job well done. And exchanging referrals among trusted professionals locally and globally is cornerstone to the culture of REMAX – the brand with a presence in more than 110 countries and territories. To help its affiliates make these connections more efficient, REMAX has launched MAXRefer, a new end-to-end referral platform that gives REMAX affiliates access to direct and open referral opportunities with over 145,000 peers worldwide. Assisted by AI, MAXRefer is yet another robust technology tool from REMAX that strengthens the brand’s already unmatched value proposition. “At REMAX, we’re finding the best ways to help agents win more business and save more time. MAXRefer is another great example of that,” says Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. “The innovative platform is a tech-driven resource for REMAX professionals to identify and connect with a referral agent they can trust to get the deal done.” Referrals are the REMAX wayOne of the best assets of REMAX affiliation is tapping into an active, worldwide network of serious professionals who help each other succeed. Many of the brand’s affiliates credit in-network referrals as a main source of business. MAXRefer streamlines the process of finding the right agent to send a referral to. And AI helps get there. When an agent is looking to send a referral to a REMAX peer, they can input the criteria – location, real estate specialties, etc. – and find a bevy of options who fit the bill. Seeing the transaction through from start to finish, MAXRefer includes a built-in referral fee payment system for convenience. REMAX affiliates can access MAXRefer through its dedicated tile in MAXCenter. “REMAX affiliates may be located continents apart, but they serve clients who move across borders. That’s why being part of the brand’s incredible global referral network is such a benefit,” Carlson adds. “REMAX is leveling up several of its business-building tools in 2025, like MAXRefer, to equip agents with the right resources to grow now and in the future.” MAXRefer is one of many recent innovations from REMAX. Another is MAXEngageSM, an exclusive, gamified app that inspires creativity and competition to help REMAX affiliates build their business. With the launch of MAXEnagage, REMAX is the first global real estate brand fueling its agents with a loyalty and rewards program. When entrepreneurs join REMAX, they unlock the advantages of an unstoppable international network, world-class resources, industry leading brand recognition1 – and so much more. 1Source: MMR Strategy Group study of unaided awareness.

In Colorado, the Denver metro area’s real estate market is bustling – and agents need a competitive edge to stand out from the crowd. That’s a big reason why one of the city’s prominent real estate teams has moved its business to REMAX. Formerly known as inMotion, the new, 37-agent RE/MAX inMotion brokerage is now part of the global REMAX network – known its culture of productivity, reputation for excellence, and the No. 1 name in real estate1. “inMotion agents are committed, accountable and optimistic, and they lead with integrity and grit,” says Jacqueline Solares, Co-Broker/Owner of RE/MAX inMotion. “When we decided to align with a national brand, it was important to choose one that reflected those same values. And that’s exactly what we found with REMAX.” Solares leads the enterprise alongside Jorge Chavez, who used to be with a REMAX brokerage before trying out the independent business route in 2016. At REMAX, Chavez earned the brand’s Diamond Club award – one of the highest honors for sales in a single year. In 2018, Solares joined Chavez and helped scale inMotion to its current size. They also operate a Motto Mortgage franchise, which compliments their REMAX business to curate a seamless customer experience. Jacqueline Solares and Jorge ChavezJacqueline Solares and Jorge ChavezThe duo knows the value of collaboration – and encourages agents to support each other along the path to success. “Any agent who joins our team will know that every decision we make as leaders is made with their best interest in mind,” Solares says. “We foster an environment where everyone is reliable, supportive, and aligned with our shared mission.” Chavez adds, “Everybody here comes from a place of contribution. We are mentors – and when new agents come on board, they’re empowered to ask any question to anyone. We’ve created a culture where everyone is happy to help each other out.” They’ve created a culture of productivity, too. A force to be reckoned with, the agents of REMAX inMotion have closed nearly $830 million in sales volume since Chavez first started the team. The brokerage’s balloon-backed futureWith a mutual growth mindset and plans to capitalize on Denver market share, Solares and Chavez were excited to align with a brand that could help them get there. And they were especially excited to choose a household brand name consumers trust. “One of the biggest reasons we moved to REMAX is because of the branding. It will be very helpful as we expand our presence in the local luxury real estate market,” Solares shares. That brand recognition is certainly hard to beat. REMAX leads the industry in brand awareness1, and is continually elevating its look to help entrepreneurs connect with customers – especially as more and more people start their homebuying and selling journeys online. In the luxury sector specifically, REMAX affiliates can engage with The REMAX Collection – the brand’s dedicated luxury home marketing division. Now aligned with REMAX, the agents of REMAX inMotion will also benefit from the brand’s plethora of resources that support professional growth, from innovative technology platforms to digital education sessions to business-building events to an active global referral network. And that just scratches the surface. “We interviewed with other real estate companies, and we ended up choosing REMAX because of all of the technology and support it offers,” Solares says. “REMAX is the brand for us to grow with.” 1Source: MMR Strategy Group study of

Spring is the season of new beginnings. And that’s especially true for the many people who sell their home during this time of year. Ready to enter the market this spring? keep these three things in mind: 1. Data shows bustling market activityFrom February to March, home sales were up 23% across the U.S., according to the latest REMAX National Housing Report which surveyed the real estate trends of 50 U.S. metro areas. The nationwide median sales price in March – $435,000 – was $8,000 higher than one month earlier, too. Also of note: In that same time frame, new listings jumped up 29.8% and total housing inventory – the overall number of homes for sale – grew 8%. The findings show both supply and demand seeing momentum on a countrywide scale as spring rolls along. 2. Spring curb appeal is criticalCurb appeal is an important factor of selling a home any time of year – after all, the outside of your place is often where people form their first impressions, whether in online listing photos or an in-person tour. During the spring, however, there’s more opportunity to spruce up the home’s outdoor space and get creative. Make sure to prioritize curb appeal when selling this spring. For a clean appearance, mow the lawn, trim any overgrown shrubs or trees, remove weeds beginning to sprout (especially from walkway areas), get rid of any debris – like sticks and leaves – that are lingering from previous seasons, apply fresh mulch to plant beds, clear the gutters, and sweep the front porch and steps. If grass is mainstay outside your home, support its growth and health by getting back on a routine watering schedule and overseeding to promote fullness. Other exterior upgrades can make a big impact on prospective buyers, too. Powering washing the outside of the home and touching up any chipped paint will give it a fresh appearance. And consider adding flowerpots with bright blooms, a new welcome mat, upgraded porch lights, and even a refreshed address plaque. These swaps can help showcase the home as well cared for, and make visitors excited to step inside and see more. 3. A real estate agent can make all the differenceSelling a home is a significant milestone – and it’s best to not go it alone. A trusted real estate agent can bring robust skills, invaluable experience, innovative strategies and more to the table and help ensure a smooth sale. They’ll guide you through the process and go to bat on your behalf every step of the way. Good news: REMAX agents have more real estate sales experience than other agents, and they have the experience needed to get the job done in today’s market. Because of that, REMAX agents help hundreds of thousands of families buy or sell a home each year. If you’re looking to sell a home this spring, get in touch with a local REMAX agent today.
