RE/MAX agents outsell their competition by 3 to 1 nationally, and 70 percent of a RE/MAX agent's business comes from repeats or referrals. That's more than twice the industry average. Here's what makes RE/MAX agents stand out:

Education/CRS
All RE/MAX agents have advanced education in residential real estate. On a national average, RE/MAX has more CRS designated agents per capita than any other major real estate company. (CRS is a bit like the MBA of real estate.) The bottom line is this: RE/MAX agents know their business.

Experience
Newcomers in real estate don't cut their teeth at RE/MAX. RE/MAX Properties hires only experienced, competent professionals. At RE/MAX Properties of LaGrange and Western Springs, the agents average over 16 years of experience.

Community involvement
RE/MAX Properties agents live in the communities they work in. Their own children attend the schools. They participate in the community functions. They are members of the churches and social organizations. RE/MAX agents have a very personal interest in and strong commitment to the areas in which they work.
