The www.remax.com Web site continues to be the most visited destination among all real estate brokerage brands, and “remax” was the second most frequently used real estate search term, according to an analysis of Internet searches in June by Hitwise, a leading online competitive intelligence service that looks at how Web sites are used.

Remax.com was the only real estate brokerage Web site among the 10 most visited real estate sites last month, according to Hitwise. The site averages more than 2 million unique visitors each month.

As the second most popular real estate search term, “remax” was used in 0.81 percent of real estate searches conducted in June. That level of usage contrasts with 0.38 percent for “real estate,” which ranked fi fth among the most frequently used terms, and 0.31 percent for “realtor,” which ranked eighth. The top-ranked real estate search term in June was “realtor.com.”

“Our consistently strong showing in the Hitwise monthly ranking of Web sites and search terms demonstrates consumer trust and awareness of the RE/MAX brand,” said Jim Merrion, regional director of RE/MAX Northern Illinois.

“Using www.remax.com gives consumers access to 95 percent of multiple listing services in the United States and many in other nations. It permits buyers to search listings in cities and states all across the country, and assists sellers with neighborhood valuation questions,” he said.

The RE/MAX franchises in Antioch, Joliet and New Lenox were among

those joining the exclusive ranks of Miracle Offi ces in 2007. That honor

was bestowed by the Children's Miracle Network (CMN), a network of premier

hospitals addressing the special needs of children in the United States and Canada.

To become a Miracle Offi ce, each agent donates to CMN either a portion of every commission earned or a one-time annual amount. Funds raised for CMN by these offi ces either benefi t Children’s Memorial Hospital of Chicago or Children’s Hospital of Iowa City depending on where the offi ce is located.

Below are just a few of the many reasons each offi ce decides to make this important, philanthropic commitment.

RE/MAX Advantage Realty, of Antioch, located at 532 W. Lake St., is operated by Broker/Owner Larry Fales

“I’m proud that we are now a Miracle Offi ce and pleased at the commitment shown by our agents,” said Fales. “Supporting the outstanding work of Children’s Memorial allows us to help many, many families just when their need is the greatest, and that is a wonderful feeling. Our goal is to maintain the Miracle Offi ce status of RE/MAX Advantage Realty for years to come.”

RE/MAX Realty of Joliet in Joliet, located at 221 Springfi eld Ave., is operated by Broker/Owners Nancy and Marc Freeman and Robyn Pissetzky.

“Our concern for children’s health refl ects the commitment of all our agents to the families of our community, and for that reason we are proud to support the wonderful work of Children’s Memorial,” said Nancy Freeman, who serves as managing broker. “The hospital helps children and their families confront and overcome a full range of health issues, and we feel honored to play a small part in helping the hospital achieve the miracles it performs every day.”

The RE/MAX All Properties in New Lenox, located at 1938 E. Lincoln Highway, New Lenox is operated by broker/owners Donald Benkendorf, Sr., Donald Benkendorf, Jr., and Leo Koulouris.

“Every agent in our offi ce was proud to see us achieve this goal and show such solid support for the work of Children’s Memorial, one of the most respected children’s hospitals in the nation,” said Koulouris. “One of our priorities is to let the families of our community know that we appreciate the confi dence they show in us, and assisting Children’s Memorial is a great way to say thank you because the hospital helps so many families each year.”

For more information on how you can become a Miracle Offi ce, contact Laura Ortoleva, Communications Strategist for the Region. She can be reached at (847) 428-4200 or [email protected].
