RE/MAX holds the top position for a third consecu-
tive year among real estate brands in the 36th annual
2015 Franchise 500 survey by Entrepreneur maga-
zine. This year’s ranking also marks the 12th time in
16 years that RE/MAX has been listed as the top fran-
chisor in the real estate category.
“We’re pleased and honored to be recognized among
such well-respected franchising powerhouses,” said
Dave Liniger, RE/MAX CEO, chairman and co-founder.
“We take pride in the many advantages RE/MAX pro-
vides to our franchisees, including global brand recog-
nition and more than 40 years of operational exper-
tise.”
Entrepreneur magazine’s annual survey reveals the
impact of the newest trends and the industries poised
for growth. It measures companies based on quantifi-
able methods, such as financial strength and stability,
growth rate, size, number of years in busi-
ness, length of time offering franchising
opportunities, startup costs and financing
options. More than 927 companies were
considered for the top 500 ranking. RE/
MAX was listed among highly-recognized
businesses, including 7-Eleven Inc., Mc-
Donald’s and The UPS Store.
In 2014, Entrepreneur magazine also
ranked RE/MAX the top real estate fran-
chise in a three separate categories – Fast-
est Growing, Global and Low-Cost.
RE/MAX received a number of other indus-
try recognitions last year. In October, it was
honored as the only real estate franchise
for the seventh consecutive year in the
“Top 50 Franchises for Minorities” com-
piled by the World Franchising Network
and featured in USA Today. The same month, RE/MAX
was also named the No. 1 real estate franchise in the
2014 Franchise Times Top 200.
