Dona McGovern - RE/MAX On the River

Dave and Gail Liniger founded RE/MAX in Denver, Colorado in 1973. Upset with the bad name that poorly trained novices and casual part-timers were giving the real estate profession, the Linigers started RE/MAX as a real estate company that would limit itself to hiring only full-time, experienced professionals. They wanted a company where homebuyers and sellers could walk into any office in any market, confident they would receive the level of professional service that a transaction of such magnitude demands. What began in 1973 as "a pad of paper and a dream" is now a global real estate franchise network that spreads across the world. Along the way, RE/MAX fundamentally changed the way the real estate industry conducts business. In an industry rife with mergers and acquisitions, RE/MAX is the only major real estate network still owned and directed by its original founders.
