REMAX Malaysia Joins Global Real Estate Giant For ‘Proven Value Proposition’
An unmatched global footprint. A network of trusted real estate professionals. A time-tested reputation. These are just three of the many competitive advantages that inspired entrepreneur Kelly Ang to open REMAX Malaysia in the Southeast Asian country of 35 million. The regional operation, which currently includes more than 50 Real Estate Negotiators (RENs) and the REMAX Founders brokerage, adds to the REMAX community’s presence in more than 110 countries and territories. Headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, the nation’s capital and largest city, REMAX Malaysia plans to grow its local presence of Registered Estate Agents (REAs) and RENs. They’ll be able to serve their clients and communities while leaning into the power of REMAX, the most productive real estate network in the world.* “I’ve dreamt of the opportunity to own and operate REMAX Malaysia since 2020,” says Ang, who will now lead the charge to expand the REMAX presence across the country. “I’ve always loved the brand, and I believe my experience, combined with the robust training and support provided by RE/MAX LLC, positions us to succeed.” Ang, a former REMAX branch owner with more than two decades in the real estate industry, has a deep understanding of local market dynamics and unique consumer needs. Honed over time, her experience also includes residential and commercial property project marketing, customer service and management roles within real estate agencies. “REMAX Malaysia has what it takes to help establish REMAX as an example of real estate excellence in local markets large and small,” says Shawna Gilbert, REMAX Senior Vice President of Global Development. “Kelly Ang is a highly focused, extremely productive professional with the skills and vision to expand REMAX into markets throughout Malaysia.” With a focus on trust and innovation, REMAX Malaysia has already been recognized with a 2025 International Prestige Brand Award. According to Ang, it’s a reflection of the region’s RENs and clients as well as the REMAX brand. Kelly Ang at the 2025 International Prestige Brand Awards“REMAX and REMAX Malaysia share the same values, especially integrity,” Ang says. “With REMAX Malaysia, we are eager to leverage our skills to deliver a truly elevated experience – to both the professionals who join us and the consumers we serve.” *As measured by residential transaction sides Written by REMAX News Recommended For YouBuilding Business From Island Vibes to Global Player: How REMAX Hawaii is Making Waves Get RE/MAX News delivered to your inbox!

When Matthew Golden, a standout wide receiver from the University of Texas, was asked during media interviews this spring how he would use his NFL signing bonus, he replied, “Definitely get my grandma a house. “For me, it’s always been about giving back to my people. To be able to do that, it would be the biggest purchase for me,” Golden said at the time. Just a few months later, his grandmother Penny – with tears in her eyes and gratitude written across her face – held the keys to her new home, purchased by Golden who worked with REMAX affiliate Nimesh Patel during the process. Patel, Broker/Owner of REMAX Fine Properties in Texas, was eager to help the NFL rookie achieve his dream – and quickly, ahead of training camp that would start in late summer. “It was such a blessing to work with REMAX and Nimesh to help me achieve this goal. My grandmother has done so much for me, and I’m humbled to be able to give back to her in this way,” Golden says. Watch ‘Get Golden Home’Watch NowKeysMatthew Golden and his Grandmother, PennyFinding a Way HomeAccording to Golden, his family lost the home he grew up in a few years ago. With other family members living nearby, it was important to him to repurchase the family home or find an even better home close by. So when Golden was selected by the Green Bay Packers during the first round of the NFL draft in May, he knew he would be able to fulfill his promise. He just needed to find the right real estate professional to guide him through the homebuying journey. Patel, who has been with the REMAX brand – the No. 1 name in real estate1 – since 2002, was an obvious choice. A seasoned professional, Patel embodies the spirit of REMAX, which is consistently voted the real estate brand with the most trusted agents2, is the most productive real estate brand in the world3 and is home to professional, full-time agents. “As a fellow University of Texas alum, it was an honor and pleasure to help Matthew achieve this dream,” Patel says. “We navigated some challenges in the process, but we’re thrilled with the outcome that resulted from our hard work – a new home for the Golden family.” HugMatthew Golden and his Grandmother, PennyReturning to RootsAfter weeks of searching and negotiating, Golden found the perfect home for his grandmother, one that fit her needs better than the original home. It’s the perfect ending to a journey that means so much to so many in the Golden family. “While we weren’t able to purchase our family home, we’ve found a house in an area that’s also meaningful to me,” Golden says. “Home is where my family is, and I’m excited for us to enjoy many meals, holidays and football watch parties together.” Patel donated 100% of the commission earned to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, where donations remain local. Thanks to his generosity and commitment to the community, the money will benefit Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. The timing was fitting, as August marks REMAX Month of Miracles, which honors the contributions of REMAX affiliates to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Since 1992, REMAX affiliates have donated more than $218 million to the organization to support children’s health in the U.S. and Canada.

Especially now, REMAX affiliates are smart to lean into the brand and its many advantages – the name, the technology, the tools and the unmatched power of the global network. That was a clear takeaway from the Aug. 5 Closing Session of the 2025 REMAX Broker Owner Conference (BOC) in Washington, D.C. In a pair of value-filled panel discussions hosted by Scott MacDonald, Broker/Owner of REMAX Gateway in Chantilly, Virginia, REMAX leaders and top coaches offered advice and insights that emphasized the critical role of strong leadership and provided practical strategies to help Broker/Owners elevate their offices. Below are some of the transformative takeaways they shared. REMAX Leadership:CEO Erik Carlson, REMAX Holdings CEO, on the REMAX reach: “The REMAX scale is unmatched. And when I talk to other CEOs who are running big brands or very large brokerages, they dream about having the scale we have – the distribution, the coverage and all the power it brings.” Carlson on the lasting importance of agents: “What an agent does on a day-in and day-out basis is quite extraordinary – the relationships they build, the trust they establish. Because of the complexity of the process, and also the financial and emotional aspects involved, buyers and sellers want somebody next to them.” Travis Saxton, EVP of Strategy, on technology: “Technology without a strategy is a complete waste of time. Together, we need to come out, get loud and tell our story. Our strategies are designed to help Broker/Owners and agents grow, promote and operate. We’re going to help them increase their profitability, win more listings and save more time.” Chris Lim, Chief Growth Officer, on increasing sales: “For me, sales is all about momentum. So the more momentum we have, the louder we get – and the louder we tell our stories, the more positivity we’ll get from that.” Abby Lee, EVP of Marketing, Communications and Events, on elevating the consumer experience: “We talk about elevating the brand – and it really means the experience. I think REMAX does that better than anybody else. Our agents do it better, and our Broker/Owners do it better. We stand for something different.” Industry Coaches:Valerie Garcia, speaker and author, on office culture: “I think culture has been twisted to mean lunches and breakroom snacks and ping pong tables. Culture is really just making people feel they belong. In my opinion, people don’t leave a culture they’re emotionally connected to. Growing a culture is about collecting people who are allowed to belong and be who they are.” Wayne Fredrick, CEO of See the Field Consulting, on avoiding apathy in the office: “My vision for real estate brokerages is that they sit down with agents and get to a granular level on a business model they have confidence in. If you’re working with your agents and getting it down to the two or three things they’re really confident about and want to go do, I don’t think apathy kicks in.” Jared James, industry coach and entrepreneur, on agent training: “The market is getting more and more difficult. So that’s a training opportunity. We have consumers who think agents are simply opening doors – and there are agents in some cases (from the time of COVID) who think the same thing. So it’s important to train agents all the way through the process.” Racheal Yeaman, VP with Buffini & Company, on ending the year on a strong note: “If you want more out of your office, if you want more productivity, have the hard conversations. Set the expectations and let everyone know what the standard is. And raise that
Read More....One in a Million: REMAX Agent Bruce Johnson Raises More Than $1M for Children’s Miracle Network
Alyssa Rae Johnson had a “sweet, soulful gaze,” says her father Bruce Johnson. For 20 days, he and his wife Mary basked in Alyssa’s beauty, beaming with adoration for their firstborn daughter. Sadly, Alyssa passed away before turning three weeks old, after spending the entirety of her short, impactful life in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto. Bruce Johnson’s life was forever changed. In turn, Johnson uses his life to forever change others’. A REMAX agent with REMAX by the Bay in Wasaga Beach, Ontario, since 1997, Johnson is known throughout the REMAX community for his million-dollar smile, larger-than-life personality and contagious kindness. He first captivated the global REMAX network in late 2013 when he and his then-12-year-old daughter Holly set off on their first Motorcycle for Miracles ride to raise $25,000 for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN). Establishing the Alyssa Rae Johnson Fund, they rode from Canada to Costa Rica and reached their fundraising goal in early 2014. Along the way, REMAX affiliates hosted Johnson and Holly in their homes, welcomed them into their brokerages, and signed a “journey flag” that would later be auctioned to benefit CMN at the annual REMAX R4 convention. “We’re in awe of the kindness of the people we meet,” Johnson said during the journey. Wanting to do more, in 2016 the father-daughter duo ventured out on their second Motorcycle for Miracles ride – this time across Canada, coast to coast – before doing so again in 2018 for the “Ends of the Earth Ride,” which took them pole to pole, from the Arctic to Argentina. Together, they raised an astonishing $750,000 during their first three rides. However, Johnson knew he had even more to give. Inspiring ActionJohnson, a REMAX Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, is one man making a big impact, but he’s also part of a network of more than 145,000 REMAX affiliates – many of whom have been inspired by Johnson’s efforts. Take Jennifer Evelyn, a REMAX Hall of Fame member and agent with REMAX Hallmark First Group in Ajax, Ontario. In 2021, Evelyn set out on a 300-nautical-mile paddleboard journey – from Ontario to Ottawa – to raise money for CMN. Her initial fundraising goal for Paddle for Miracles was $50,000; before she ever launched her journey from SickKids, she had raised more than $70,000 – most of which came from REMAX affiliates. At the time, Evelyn said, “One of the things Bruce mentioned to me is that people (impacted by Children’s Miracle Network) would be reaching out and sharing their stories. It’s pretty amazing what people are sharing with their lives. I’ve never had that opportunity to go that deep with a lot of these people who have been in my life for years. It’s pretty emotional.” Trudy Wilson, who Johnson has long championed for her incredible efforts, is another REMAX agent who has gone to great lengths to give back to CMN. The REMAX Hall of Fame member with REMAX Hallmark Eastern Realty in Bridgenorth, Ontario, swam the 380-kilometer (236-mile) Trent-Severn Waterway to raise funds for CMN in honor of her daughter Lauren, who sadly passed away at SickKids from severe birth injuries. Johnson, Evelyn and Wilson are far from alone in their generosity. For instance, REMAX Gateway in Chantilly, Virginia, recently raised $30,000 for CMN Hospitals and their local member hospital through their 22nd Annual Charity Golf Tournament. Throughout the U.S. and Canada, REMAX affiliates go above and beyond – and have a lasting impact on the children receiving treatment at any of the 170 CMN member hospitals in the

The 2025 REMAX Broker Owner Conference (BOC) in Washington, D.C., kicked into high gear August 4 with a dynamic opening general session that showcased the high quality of REMAX affiliates and the high energy of the leadership group supporting them. “There’s a faster pace of play at Headquarters,” RE/MAX Holdings CEO Erik Carlson told the more than 500 attendees. “We’re moving quickly – and with purpose – to enhance and modernize the advantages of being with REMAX. We’re innovating across the board – via people, process, products and technology. And everything is on the table, including marketing, tech and even our financial model.” The accelerated pace is evident in the powerful resources, services, products and platforms REMAX has already rolled out this year – with plenty more still to come. Refreshed Branding Modernizes SignageThe new offerings include the modernized branding that debuted at the REMAX R4 convention in February. As of August 3, it’s now available on yard signs, office signage and other physical products. “The new branding began as digital-first – and now we’re bringing it to life in the real world,” Abby Lee, EVP of Marketing, Communications and Events, said shortly after the session. “It starts with elevated yard signs – bold, modern and unmistakably REMAX. You’ll see more design options, more visibility and a premium presence that reflects our refreshed identity.” The year has also introduced ambitious AI-powered strategies around curated leads, global referrals, social media best practices, website enhancements and automated marketing. “A lot has happened since the BOC last year,” said Carlson, who is nearing his second anniversary as CEO. “We made some big promises to you, and we’re certainly working really hard to deliver on all of them. We’re enhancing the REMAX value proposition in all sorts of different ways to help your agents win listings, do it in less time and make more money, and help you be profitable.” Aggressive But FocusedThe senior leadership group, which includes several new members, shares an aggressive but focused mindset. “We’ve added world-class leadership talent, and they’ve hit the ground running,” he said, specifically noting the 2025 hiring of four highly credentialed senior executives – EVP of Strategy Travis Saxton, Chief Growth Officer Chris Lim, REMAX Canada President Don Kottick and SVP of Sales and Service Daniel Dennis. “They’re working to upgrade how we do things, and they’ve already helped us launch really important things – new services, deeper dives into AI, getting louder on social media, and building flexibility in our economic model.” The leaders see great value in masterminding with REMAX Broker/Owners and agents. “We’re leaning in and listening to you,” Carlson said. “We’re taking action on your ideas and your insights – and you’ve seen it throughout the year. We’re making purposeful changes to support you and your agents.” The REMAX combination of industry-leading agent productivity and global presence gives the entire network a competitive edge. It starts with agents closing sales – and brokerages earning market share – in their communities. After all, winning at the local level translates to the regional level, which translates to the national level, which translates to the global level,” Carlson said. “That’s the power of our team, the power of our brand and the absolute power of our scale. And our scale is super important – creating advantages other brands and competitors can only dream about.” A Milestone in SightThat power is also evident in cumulative achievements. For instance, Carlson noted that REMAX agents, collectively, are nearing 10 million closed transactions since the start of 2020. The milestone could be reached before the R4 convention in February. Whatever the timing, no competing brand
