RE/MAX or Keller Williams

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Southland II

If you were going to change companies, would you go to RE/MAX or Keller Williams? i have been with RE/MAX for almost 2 years. The firm I am at is disolving and I have to make a choice to go to one of theother RE/MAX offices in the area, or somewhere else. I have narrowed it down considerably and my only other choice at the moment is a Keller Williams office. So, give me some advice, my fellow Realtors! Thanks!

Hi

This recently happened to me in Bend, Oregon where my ReMax office closed with less than 30 days notice. What a dilemma. I went onto the MLS after interviewing other brokearges and looked into who had the most closings by the most people. You don't want to go to a brokerage where only the principal brokers are making the sales. Also, you don't want to be paying a high amount of rent in this market. Who has the market share? Look up closed sales and listings.

I ended up going with a great brokerage run by Prudential Northwest Properties in Bend. We are now growing strong. One of the things I love about Prudential is their huge amount of support in office and in their online products.

I wish you luck with this challenging decision! The flip side is that you can change without feeling as though you weren't loyal to ReMax. It may be a good thing for you. Differentiate yourself!

Lisa,

Why limit to only two choices?  Interview many and try to make the best choice.
