REMAX, the world's most successful real estate network was co-founded by REMAX International chairman Dave Liniger and his wife Gail Liniger in 1973 in Denver, Colorado. At that time, most salespeople were earning just 50% commission and office owners directly controlled every aspect of a salesperson's job. Agents were disillusioned and unmotivated and most left the industry within two years. Liniger, a real estate agent himself, felt there had to be a better way, and decided to start putting his dreams of a fairer real estate system into practice. He drafted an innovative business plan that put salespeople first and enabled both office owners and agents to succeed. He called his master plan REMAX, an acronym for real estate maximums. Liniger and his wife Gail, also a real estate agent, hoped to make a difference with their new company and its unique business structure. What they achieved was nothing short of a global revolution.

In an industry rife with mergers and acquisitions, REMAX is the only major real estate network still owned and directed by its original founders. Today Dave and Gail Liniger are still at the helm of REMAX International. The company's expansion has been unstoppable, with recorded growth every single year for more than three decades. On average, REMAX adds at least one new office to its international network each day and around 10,000 agents each year. REMAX operates worldwide with offices in over 65 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, United States of America, Canada, Africa, Europe, United Kingdom, Middle East, Central America, Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific.
