Re/Max ranks top real estate franchise

Re/Max International Inc. has joined successful franchise chains in the world, after being named in Franchise Times Top 200. Re/Max made its debut in the number 12 position in the 2009 ranking, ahead of all other real estate competitors, and in the company of top franchises such as McDonald's, 7-Eleven and Marriott Hotels.

"The Re/Max network continues to grow because we offer so much value to our franchise owners," says Margaret Kelly, chief executive officer of Re/Max International. This includes global brand recognition, the industry's most extensive educational resources, and all the support our offices need to be productive and successful. We like to tell our owners, that at Re/Max, you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself".

Since the beginning of 2009, nine countries have joined the Re/Max network and Re/Max International has sold nearly 400 franchises worldwide. Re/Max has an international presence in more than 70 countries.

The Franchise Times Top 200 is an annual financial snapshot of the 200 most successful US-based franchise companies as measured by worldwide sales. The complete list of honorees appeared on last month's issue of Franchise Times.
