MYTHS ABOUT WORKING AT RE/MAX

MYTH #1 - "It is too expensive to work at RE/MAX"

As we acknowledge, there are companies cheaper than RE/MAX, but we certainly are not even near the top of the most expensive. There's an old adage that 'you get what you pay for'.

• Look at our systems
• Experience the best with our support staff
• Work easier and wiser with our technology
• Learn and share ideas with proven sales professionals

You might not have known - 40% of our Sales Representatives are on alternative commission programs. Maybe similar to the one you presently are on - or better!

MYTH #2 - "I have to have 1, 2, 3, 5 years of experience before I can join or be good enough to work at RE/MAX."

Experience is doing business, not being in the business. If you know how to take listings and make sales and are willing to work, you may be ready for RE/MAX. With the RE/MAX brand name, experience and management, reaching the $100,000 formula can be easier than you think.

MYTH #3 - "But I'm not a superstar."

You don't have to be. Locally we have average, good and top producers. If you want to become a superstar, we can help make your quest easier at RE/MAX.

MYTH #4 - "There is no training at RE/MAX"

On the contrary, RE/MAX has some of the finest training available, and the only full time Career Development Manager. The RE/MAX Satellite Network - RSN has the latest news on technology and business, RE/MAX's Succeed Program assists newer agents and you'll be exposed to annual conferences guaranteed to inspire you! See our Training Calendar.

MYTH #5 - "I've been told RE/MAX won't do well in a market slump."

The exact opposite is true. Our superior Associates create a flow of activity that generates new business for everyone. In addition, the flexibility of the RE/MAX concept allows each Sales Associate to put together more transactions, putting more money in your pocket for each

MYTH #6 - "I'll lose business if I make a move."

Generally, the opposite is true. It gives the Sales Associate an excellent opportunity to contact friends and former clients about your new promotion. In addition, the company writes a press release. It's been proven at RE/MAX that your enthusiasm and activity levels increase with your move and often create new business.

MYTH #7 - "The Broker of such a large office may not have the time to help me."

The Broker is ready, willing and eager to help with all questions. The Broker, as well as experienced agents and support staff, are readily available.

When you're Windsor and Essex County's #1 Real Estate Company, the competition tends to get nervous and myths begin to surface to protect their market share*
