Entrepreneur magazine's "Fastest Growing" list is a
spin-off of the magazine's annual "Franchise 500" survey, the
oldest and most comprehensive franchise ranking in the world. The
fastest-growing rankings are based on the number of new franchise
units added in the U.S. and Canada
from July 2015 to July 2016.
In the U.S., RE/MAX experienced the highest percentage of
franchise sales growth in the Carolinas, New York and Florida regions in 2016.
Earlier this year, RE/MAX was named as the top real estate
franchise and ranked in the top 10 of the prestigious "Franchise
500" survey. Companies are chosen for the list based on multiple
criteria, including financial strength, stability, size and growth
rate.
With a presence in over 100 countries and territories, the
RE/MAX network's global footprint is unmatched by any other real
estate brand. Internationally, RE/MAX experienced the strongest
franchise sales growth in Latin
America and Europe last
year. Increased franchise sales contributed to the global
franchisor's total agent count, which grew by 7.4 percent
year-over-year, as of the third quarter in 2016. Over 110,000
agents worldwide now call RE/MAX home.
