The acclaimations for 2014  continue to roll in and word has been received that RE/MAX LLC has ranked as the #1 Real Estate Franchise according to the latest Franchise Times Top 200 report.

Re/Max Publicist Ronda Scholting explains the highly competitive criteria,

“The exhaustive annual survey is based upon 2013 world-wide sales and growth and includes franchisors from a wide variety of business sectors.”

The report outlines that real estate sales are based on total volume of homes sold.

For the 6th year running Re/max dominates their category, and while worthy of celebration, the honours comes as no surprise to the worldwide real estate powerhouse. The company, ranking twelfth overall, moved up two full slots from the previous year. As a top 20 competitor, Re/Max holds a prestigious spot amongst such franchises as Tim Hortons (#18), Marriott Hotels & Resorts (#11), and McDonald’s, who secured the number one slot on the list.

The astonishing jump from position 14 to 12 in just a year can be attributed to incredible sales growth. The 15.6% increase seen this year is more than triple that of nearly any of the top ten franchise’s reported numbers.

As far as industry competition goes, Re/Max certainly doesn’t need to be watching their back, according to the internal press release, “The closest real estate franchises were ranked #28 and #45.”

Additionally, the company made the top ten cut for sales growth, securing the #2 position in the ‘Fastest Growing Franchise‘ category, second only to Circle K.

Re/Max CEO Margaret Kelly has a straightforward approach to franchising.

Re/Max CEO Margaret Kelly commented on the straightforward nature of the company’s enduring success:

“Our philosophy at RE/MAX has always been very simple. Attract new franchisees by providing support services and competitive advantages that help them succeed. It’s why we continue to grow, innovate and evolve.”
