RE/MAX Community Relations

It starts with two young real estate agents sitting at the kitchen table and ends with over 5,000 successful associates sitting on top of the world. Over the past thirty years, the RE/MAX story has become an industry legend and proof of the power of a great idea.
1973
RE/MAX is born. Dave and Gail Liniger, two 20-something real estate agents from Denver, Colorado, decide to develop a new real estate concept.

1974
