Kelowna, BC (February 24, 2011) – The 16 RE/MAX offices in Calgary, AB, have been recognized with the 2010 Consumers’ Choice Award®, an honor presented to those companies that have been voted as the best in their field by consumers. Independent surveys show that the offices, and agents who work from those offices, excelled overall in customer satisfaction and have earned the confidence, trust and loyalty of their community.

RE/MAX is not just a leader in residential and commercial real estate. We are a true community partner with a strong involvement locally by providing bursaries in our Quest for Excellence Bursary Program, awareness for much needed Provincial Organ Donor Programs, fundraising for CBCF’s Yard Sale for the Cure, as well as, donating over $39 million across Canada for the Children’s Miracle Network since 1992.

Holding a 34.94 % market share in 2010, RE/MAX agents in Calgary did more transactions than agents at any other company. Always putting the consumer first, RE/MAX has

risen above the rest by offering education and protection for their clients by including programs like Fit to Sell and insurance with Tranquilli-T.

The Consumers’ Choice Award® is a program of the Consumers’ Choice Institute, which utilizes a leading independent research firm to conduct surveys in several major cities each year. Winners are determined by two consumer groups: the general public and the business community. The survey is open-ended and asks participants to name their choices in each category.

RE/MAX is Canada’s leading real estate organization with more than 18,400 Sales Associates in over 700 independently-owned offices. The RE/MAX franchise network is a global real estate system operating in 85 countries. More than 5,900 independently-owned offices engage nearly 90,000 member Sales Associates who lead the industry in professional designations, experience and production while providing real estate services in residential, commercial, referral and asset management.
