Pros

Re/Max gives its realtors a tremendous amount of personal freedom. The vast majority of people working in Re/Max offices are helpful and hardworking. Because of the nature of the job, the offices themselves are often empty. If you like sales and don't want to be behind a desk for 10 hours a day Re/Max may be for you. If needed (and for a price) there is plenty of support offered by the company. Re/Max gives its realtors a tremendous amount of personal freedom.

Cons

The real estate market is in serious trouble and business for most mid-level realtors is drying up. This makes it very difficult to maintain a steady income with a commission based structure. Employee morale is generally low (as a result of the market) but Re/Max gives its advisers plenty of tools to build and maintain their businesses.

Pros

The most recognized name in real estate in Canada and USA. They have the best marketing tools of any real estate company and most of them are free of charge. The compensation or real estate commissions are the best in the marketplace. They are on the leading edge of any technology that assists in your marketing ability and provide premier market presence by spending millions on keeping the brand on top. A very charitable organization as well supporting Childrens Miracle Network, Kumon Breast Cancer Awareness, plus numerous other special interest groups and programs. Peers are a very professional group and very willing to help.

Cons

Head office could make independant office visits more frequently. As a RE/MAX Realtor you are recognized by peers from other companies as a "Top Producer or you wouldn't be at RE/MAX" and it occassionally breeds contempt or jealousy from some of your peers from other companies.

Pros

Flexiblity of more or less being your own boss makes it a very nice place to work in terms of taking a day off when you need to, etc, or shaping your schedule different from day to day as needed. Earning power has no upper limit, so in a good market, you can do very well financially

Cons

Have to be willing to work totally on commission. Just the demands of real estate can interfere a good bit with your family life...i.e. weekend and evening hours, and having to have your cell phone on nearly all of the time
