What is RE/MAX?

RE/MAX is an international real estate company with a network of real estate agents that help people buy, sell and rent homes and commercial properties. RE/MAX can also help you find open houses, virtual tours and price-reduced properties.

In addition to traditional real estate services, RE/MAX has a partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. RE/MAX agents can donate to the Miracle Home Program on behalf of their clients after each closing in order to invest in their communities.

How does RE/MAX work?

RE/MAX is a network of franchised brokerages that are independently owned and operated, so each office should have its own broker’s license and real estate agents to help you with your needs.

Once you connect with a real estate agent, their services will depend on what you’re looking for:

  • Buyers and people looking to rent can get help finding the right properties and navigating the purchase or rental process.
  • Sellers and people looking to lease out their properties can get help advertising their listings, holding open houses and closing on deals.

RE/MAX’s website and mobile app can also help you search listings for properties, and if you aren’t working with an agent already, you can search for one nearby by specialty and location.

RE/MAX’s services are slightly different for luxury homes and commercial properties, which come with their own listing platforms and agents with experience in those markets.

RE/MAX fees

RE/MAX doesn’t publicly share its agents’ fee rates, but that’s normal for the industry.

With most real estate transactions, fees are generally based on commission. Commission rates on real estate purchases typically range from 5% to 6% of the purchase price, split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents. While the seller technically pays this commission, the cost is generally factored into the price of the property.

Bear in mind that commission percentages are always negotiable and should be agreed upon upfront. Having commission percentages written into your initial contract should save you from any surprises later.

Still have questions?

Can RE/MAX be trusted?

RE/MAX is an established real estate franchise company with a large reach both nationally and internationally. Through its website and online account portal, you can connect with a real estate agent in your area when you’re ready to buy, sell, rent or get current market information. It’s worth checking reviews related to your local agent and office, though, since their trustworthiness and performance may have more of an impact on your real estate goals than RE/MAX’s overall reputation.

    Working with Tracy ** was a wonderful experience. As a first-time buyer, Tracy coached us through a complex out of state search and closure on our dream home. Tracy took the time to explain every single step, patiently answering endless questions. She demonstrated mastery and expertise of the market and process in all phases of the transaction. She was a true advocate and genuinely cared about developing the optimal connection between buyer, seller, and community. The entire process was revelatory, exciting, and divine, thanks to her guidance and negotiation skills. I highly recommend Tracy ** to anyone looking to buy in Maryland.

    We had an outstanding experience working with Jason ** of RE/MAX in Destrehan. We’ve worked with agents before, but Jason set a completely different standard. From day one, he went above and beyond. Jason didn’t just unlock doors and point out features — he took the time to walk through each home with us, pointing out potential issues, explaining the pros and cons, and even talking through what certain fixes would realistically look like. That kind of honesty and knowledge is rare and we truly appreciated it.

    His understanding of home construction, local neighborhoods, and the contractors you actually want to use made the entire process feel easy instead of overwhelming. He was also incredibly responsive — texts, calls, questions, you name it. He handled everything quickly and made what could’ve been a stressful process feel surprisingly easy.

    The biggest moment for me was when we found the home I ended up buying. Jason immediately noticed a couple of potential issues with the home and discrepancies between the listing and the disclosure. He brought it to our attention, discussed options of how to address them, recommended a way forward, and negotiated a fair price adjustment that protected our investment. We truly couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more reassuring home buying experience. Even after the sale, Jason is still here to help us get settled in. There is a reason Jason is ranked as a top broker in the area, we’d recommend him to anyone, and he is absolutely our 1st choice if we ever need a real estate agent again.

      The WORST experience of my life. I had to terminate my contract after a terrible 42 days with the agent Alayza out of Hopewell Junction. Falsifying/misrepresentation of my property. Dismissive attitude when asked to change things. Took pictures with her phone, used AI to generate them, falsely I may add. Brought her kid to the contract signing. VERY unprofessional on social media, derogatory gestures and language. I sent proof of ALL of my misfortunes with this said realtor and I was still requested to pay for canceling by the broker when it was completely the realtors fault. VERY immature and not experienced enough. More worried about likes and views on social media then treating her costumers with respect, as if she was going to earn a huge commission off my house.

      Absolutely awful management. Remax / Haven Realty charged me a $207 missed maintenance fee even though someone was there to open the door. Maintenance left, then minutes later slapped me with the charge. My dispute was denied with no accountability, leaving me stuck with late fees and unable to pay my promised rent on time. On top of that, maintenance never fixes anything and actually made the problem worse. Multiple requests have gone ignored. Dishonest fees, poor service, zero responsibility. Worst rental experience I’ve ever had. Avoid at all costs.

From the very first conversation, Brian proved himself to be knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us find the right home in Cape Coral—not just a home. Brian knows the Cape Coral market inside and out. He listened carefully to what mattered most to us, guided us thoughtfully through each step of the process, and was always available to answer questions or offer honest, practical advice. His professionalism is matched by his integrity, and that combination is rare.

      What truly sets Brian apart is that he treats you like a person, not a transaction. He was patient, thorough, and always had our best interests at heart. We never felt rushed or pressured—only supported and well-informed. If you are looking for a realtor who is trustworthy, hardworking, and deeply knowledgeable about Cape Coral real estate, I cannot recommend Brian Koonmen of RE/MAX Cape Coral highly enough. He is exactly the kind of professional you want on your side.

      Called to rent a $14,000 apartment in west van, Sean **'s assistant Beijing ** picked up his phone and we asked to see it at 2 which she said was fine, but had to check back with the owner for some details and call us back after. Not only did she not call back, when when we called she didn't pick up. I had to call back multiple times. After a few hours she picked up and when I asked her about it she said, "Oh they don't allow pets," and I asked her why she didn't call back to let me know instead of letting us wait for her, she said, "Oh I have so many calls I don't know who you are, I was waiting for you to call me back." We clearly DID call many times, not only was she unapologetic, her attitude is even worse.

      Her attitude is rude and unprofessional, you would think someone trying to rent out a $14,000 per month apartment would provide better service and attitude. Just know whoever listed with this team, your apartment could have been rented out today, but because of their lack of service and professionalism, your home will continue to sit on the market.

      REMAX of Rockford Michigan's owner/broker does not handle client complaints professionally. Upon asking for a change on a contract our realtor tricked us into signing (unethical in accordance to RESPA: did not give a copy upon signing; did not explain that it was a contract, instead misrepresented it as a one-time agreement that simply allowed said realtor to show the house to a couple she knew was interested before officially placing house on market) the broker yelled at us claiming to be offended we felt conned and that she would not end the contract unless we pay them 5% of what the sale would be whether or not they sell the house.

      The realtor meanwhile, took the "for sale" sign out of our yard, quit acting as our realtor, yet they still held our 13-month contract, we do not remember or have proof we signed, over our head. Legal teams had to intervene and have made this first-time home-selling ordeal incredibly more stressful and horrible than it already was.

      I leased a property (**) managed by Torrence ** of RE/MAX Premier / The TLF Group LLC. After driving 11 hours from out of state (Texas) to move-in in November 2024, I found the unit to be in an uninhabitable, unsafe, and unprepared condition. As a combat veteran, I’ve lived all over the world in various conditions, and I’ve never lived in a home as deplorable as this. I moved out the same day I moved in.

      Despite prior communication, a paid deposit, and a virtual tour, the move-in revealed severe issues, including an unsecured front door, major HVAC/soot contamination making the air unsafe to breathe, evidence of roof leaks/water damage, broken smoke detectors, and significant debris throughout the property. The lease was immediately terminated by mutual consent. The core of my complaint is that after the agent, Mr. **, initially offered to refund the full $1,650 security deposit, he subsequently refused to return the funds.

      It has been over a year, and I still have not received my money. I have since filed a lawsuit against the business (The TLF Group LLC) in Cobb County on October 27th, 2025 and have made a formal complaint with the Georgia Real Estate Commission (GREC). The failure of this agency to deliver a safe, habitable property, compounded by the refusal to return the deposit as promised, was highly unprofessional and caused significant financial and emotional hardship, including unexpected costs with my moving company. Be warned, Mr. ** appears to actively wipe negative reviews from his platforms. I advise all prospective renters to proceed with extreme caution.

      I am pissed! David **, a so-called RE/MAX realtor, has turned what should have been an exciting journey into an absolute nightmare. He had the audacity to advertise a three-bedroom home in Eastlake, Ohio, boasting "new" HVAC, plumbing, and appliances. Really? From day one, it was clear we were sold a bill of goods. Yes, the house was a mess, I know. The contractors were “hard at work,” the pipes had frozen and dishwasher was sitting in the middle of the floor. They promised everything would be fixed within 30 days. We had 45 days until closing, we thought, “Perfect! What could go wrong?”

      Fast forward 45 days: after three inspections, we learn they need another 15 days, then an extra week. Meanwhile, our old/current landlord is losing her mind because we’re leaving, and she changes the locks on closing day, that finally comes, and while we do a quick walkthrough, all “roses and sunshine.” Then comes moving day—the hottest day of the year. I have MS, and that sweltering heat pushes me straight into the hospital thanks to a NO-WORKING HVAC system. The new dishwasher. Water all over the floor! I call an electrician to fix the water heater, which keeps blowing the breaker. He touches the door and gets electrocuted! What was supposed to be a $350 job skyrockets to $1,000—all thanks to the mess David left us with.

      Weather now cooler we try the furnace and of course it not working. In just the first month, we've dumped between $16,000 to $20,000 into repairs—oh joy! And surprise, surprise, RoofMaxx comes and found THREE holes in the roof, $500 to patch and another $10,000 are income taxes come. When I picked up the phone to call our realtor, what do I get? "The paperwork’s signed; it’s all on yours!" And now we can’t afford an attorney I can't express how pissed we am dealing with this incompetent nightmare. Save yourself the hassle—we’ll never recommend David **. It’s a disaster!

Very stuck up in her behavior, and basically called me and my husband unethical for not wanting to hurt ourselves and our position simply for her convenience. After insisting that "all realtors do it this way," and telling me that I wouldn't find someone who would be willing to do it differently, I called a different realtor from a different company who had *no* problem working with us in a manner that didn't involve us shooting ourselves in the foot, and rolled her eyes at the claims the REMAX agent had made.
