Re/Max Malta recently hosted '60 minutes with Re/Max', a recruitment event aimed at attracting individuals looking for a change in career in the real estate sector.

The event was held at the Corinthia Hotel in St George's Bay and was addressed by Chuck Lemire, chief operating officer and managing director of Re/Max Europe.

The event was introduced by Re/Max Malta managing director Kevin Buttigieg. He thanked over 100 guests for attending and explained that two Re/Max associates and a Re/Max franchise owner would be sharing their experience.

Michael Bonello, franchise owner of Re/Max Tigné said he started his career in real estate with a leading real estate agency. However, he saw the potential of Re/Max when they started in 2004 and joined as their first sales associate. After being nominated top selling associate for three consecutive years, he was given the opportunity to open his first franchise.

Today, he has 22 sales associates and his ambition is to be this year's top-selling office. He is also negotiating the purchase of a second franchise.

Chris Carabott, sales associate for Re/Max Central, gave a detailed overview of what Re/Max meant to him.

Lorraine Bonnici, letting associate for Re/Max Letting for three months, described the company as a family that works together to create opportunities for each other.

In his presentation, Mr Lemire said he never imagined he would become COO of Re/Max. He started in the real estate industry as a sales associate for another company in Boston, Massachusetts, and spent 12 years selling property before he was contacted by co-founders of Re/Max of New England, Frank Polzler and Walter Schnieder, to recruit him in the role of executive vice-president.

After the event Mr Lemire said the Malta region was extremely important to "our network".

The event came to an end with a cocktail reception where Re/Max agents and guests shared their experiences.
