The Remax network is also made up of more than 70 regional sub-franchisors, most of them independent of Remax, LLC, varying in size from a metropolitan area to an entire country. Remax values community involvement at all levels of the organization, from individual Associates to corporate headquarters. Children's Miracle Network and Susan G. Komen for the Cure are two prime beneficiaries. Dave and Gail Liniger founded Remax in Denver, Colo., in 1973, prompted by their dissatisfaction with the way real estate business was conducted at the time. Most real estate offices used the commission-split system, requiring sales professionals to forfeit half of their commissions to their brokers in exchange for an office environment and company services. The top producers contributed the most to the operation's overhead, thus supporting the amateur, part-time and low-producing agents. Support services were lacking in quality. The Linigers wanted to change all that. They believed that to attract and retain the best agents, brokers must offer maximum compensation, advanced support services and the freedom to succeed. Agents would share office overhead and pay management fees, and in return receive a wide variety of real estate services and more control over their business.
