REMAX Ecuador: Elevating Real Estate Opportunities in Latin America

As the REMAX network grows around the world, a game-changing region in Latin America is making big waves in its country’s real estate scene.

REMAX expanded its global footprint into Ecuador a decade ago. Ever since, the balloon-backed brand has strengthened its presence in communities near and far, with offices supported by passionate, experienced real estate professionals who care deeply about the places where they live and work.

“Since its arrival in the country 10 years ago, REMAX Ecuador has promoted a new way of doing real estate business, fostering agents’ professional independence and brokers’ entrepreneurial development. With cutting-edge technological tools, continuous training programs and a strong community, the network doesn’t just sell properties – it builds long-lasting, prosperous careers,” says César Mesa, founder of REMAX Ecuador.

“One of the cornerstones of this region’s success has been a culture of recognition. Each year, individual and collective achievements are celebrated, strengthening the sense of belonging and raising service standards nationwide,” he adds.

Their impact on the industry has been immeasurable, according to Shawna Gilbert, Senior Vice President of REMAX Global and Commercial.

“REMAX Ecuador has played an instrumental role in shaping the nation’s real estate sector – and it continues to do so each and every day. César Mesa and his team provide the best support to brokerage owners and agents, helping them adapt to an ever-changing industry and thrive,” she says. “We’re honored to have them as part of the global REMAX community.”

REMAX Ecuador is home to over 700 agents in 25 offices located across 11 cities throughout the country, including Guayaquil, Quito, Cuenca, Manta, Ambato, Loja, and more.

Together, these affiliates have solidified REMAX Ecuador’s stance as a market leader – one known for agents who are trusted, productive and professional. That reputation spans across the residential and commercial sectors alike.

REMAX Ecuador has been instrumental in helping commercial real estate professionals find success, and according to the region, multiple affiliates run a commercial certification course that has benefited hundreds of agents. Plus, more than 175 agents within the REMAX Ecuador network have been certified through the region’s REMAX Commercial Latam program, which equips professionals with insights to thrive in commercial real estate. To boost professionalism, many of the region’s agents participate in the “100 Days to Greatness” program from Buffini & Company – offered in partnership with REMAX.

REMAX Ecuador’s culture is rooted in agents sharing knowledge and helping each other.

Affiliates with all types of unique skillsets come together each year for the REMÁXIMO National Convention, an annual gathering of agents throughout the country. The event serves as the region’s hub of education, networking, and celebration. Beyond this flagship gathering, REMAX Ecuador hosts myriad training events and get-togethers to help agents and brokerages grow.

And growth is something the region knows about. In fact, REMAX Ecuador was recognized by BR Magazine for its leading number of affiliates, offices and listings nationwide.

“REMAX Ecuador is not only known for selling real estate, but also for its strong engagement with the communities it serves. We have a deep culture of giving,” Mesa shares.

César Mesa heads up REMAX Ecuador, along with his children Camilo and Juanita. The family is deeply committed to real estate, entrepreneurship, and the long-term growth of the REMAX brand in Latin America.

Mesa has more than 40 years of industry experience, from residential to commercial to development tourism to hospitality.

In 2015, he embarked on a journey with REMAX, starting the REMAX Ecuador region and eventually taking it from an emerging brand to a countrywide phenomenon. REMAX empowers entrepreneurs to build business their own way – and that’s precisely what Mesa did, adapting the REMAX model to suit the needs of local communities.

The author of a motivational book designed to help others forge their own business paths, Mesa is widely recognized as a mentor to aspiring leaders, providing structure, vision and growth strategy to help them build on the REMAX Ecuador foundation.

“REMAX Ecuador is preparing to open new franchises in strategic cities, strengthen its digital value proposition, and continue raising the service level of the industry,” he says. “The future of the network is bright.”

Leveraging the power of the global REMAX name is another way Mesa is building a business designed to win now and in the future.

“The REMAX name provides instant consumer trust and brand recognition,” he shares. “And the brand connects Ecuadorian agents to 145,000+ REMAX professionals worldwide for referrals and collaboration. It offers world-class training, marketing resources and technology tools, helping local entrepreneurs build scalable, sustainable businesses.”

Mesa adds, “Brand power sets REMAX Ecuador apart as both aspirational and accessible, empowering agents and franchise owners to grow with purpose.”
