Pros

Like any broker, your time is yours' to be as successful as possible. The office staff is very helpful and the technology is industry-standard, but it's no where near innovative.

Cons

With $1,0000+/month office fees and, at best, an 80% commission, you need three closings per month, at a minimum, to support your business and at least contribute to your family's income. During the height of the real estate meltdown, repeated inquiries to corporate from many agents went ignored. We pleaded for relief from the hundreds of dollars due in the Re Max International Dues every year. Never mind all of the money that they take from you throughout the year. There are many brokers out there to work for, so you please make sure that you weigh all of the options, ans their various costs. Remember, there will be no relief in costs, should the markets decline, again, so please chose your broker carefully. RE Max has recognition, but the high commission agents are transforming toward a different business model.
