RE/MAX Expands Global Footprint in Côte d’Ivoire

When roaming around the world, it’s easy to find a RE/MAX office. After all, the global real estate leader has a presence in more than 110 countries and territories.

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.”

Put simply, the dynamic trio’s plan is growth.

“Our goal is to establish RE/MAX as the market leader in Côte d’Ivoire. We aim to drive industry growth by attracting top talent, integrating technology, and forming key partnerships with financial institutions, developers, and policymakers to enhance market growth and accessibility for buyers and investors,” they add.

“Seeing agents thrive with RE/MAX, deliver superior service and drive real economic impact in our communities is truly inspiring. We also look forward to leveraging the RE/MAX global network to attract international investors and position Côte d’Ivoire as a prime real estate destination in West Africa.”

In terms of the next-level experience the global real estate leader provides its affiliates, Gilbert notes how joining RE/MAX means tapping into a powerful network – one comprised of more than 145,000 passionate professionals who connect at brand events (like RE/MAX R4!), stay in touch digitally, learn from one another, form lasting friendships and exchange referrals. The brand’s worldwide impact is especially underscored during Global RE/MAX Week, the annual dedicated week of community service.

“People recognize RE/MAX all around the world – and it’s the network of outstanding professionals that make RE/MAX the trusted, productive and unstoppable brand it is,” Gilbert adds. “It’s our priority to provide affiliates the best resources, tools and support they need to build business bigger than ever before.”
