Since I’m a rookie agent, I went with a smaller local agency because of their reasonable costs and commission schedule. Some family members have put some pressure on me to think about Remax, but is the excitement really worth it? How does your structure look there, Remax realty enclaves? Is it worthwhile to brand balloons?

I would not recommend applying to places like Keller Williams or ReMax. I have had a personal experience with this company and I must say, it was quite disappointing. Not only was there a lack of proper training, but I also found that they were not entirely honest in their efforts to recruit new agents. I find all of their job ads to be misleading. If someone claims to be “transparent,” it’s best to leave as soon as possible! I feel so embarrassed. I recommend checking out places like Compass, Sothebys, or even considering a small boutique firm.

As someone considering a career with RE/MAX, I’ve done extensive research to understand the pros and cons. From employee reviews on platforms like AmbitionBox and Indeed, I’ve learned that RE/MAX is rated 3.4 out of 5, with a strong focus on work-life balance but lower ratings for pay and benefits. Additionally, some employees have shared disappointing experiences, citing a lack of proper training and limited opportunities for growth and advancement. However, others have found the brand’s global recognition and resources beneficial for their careers. Overall, while RE/MAX offers some advantages, it seems to have its share of challenges, particularly for office personnel.

When I first became an agent at Remax in 2005, I was a rookie. Looking back, I wish I had begun with a bigger brokerage that had a personal trainer. Locate a brokerage where the VP of Education/Training works. You want a setting that is dedicated to preparing you to be an effective agent. Additionally, there should be no fees associated with any of the training. When your annual income reaches $100,000 consistently, you’ll be prepared for Remax.
