RE/MAX Executive Realty Massachusetts
RE/MAX Executive Realty is one of the most dominant real estate companies in Massachusetts with top market share in a number of communities including Hopkinton, Holliston, Milford, Ashland, Grafton, Upton, Medway and Franklin to name a few.
While being affiliated with a strong company like RE/MAX Executive Realty is important, the real estate franchise you choose is far less important than the Realtor® you choose to work with. Asking good real estate interview questions is critical in making sure you select the right Realtor® to work with. These kind of questions are surely going to weed out a real estate agent you should not be hiring! Keep in mind that every Realtor markets homes differently. There are some very good Real Estate agents and some that should have no business holding a license!

Why Choose RE/MAX Executive Realty to Accomplish Your Goals
There is some merit however, on why an agent would choose to work for one company over another. The reason I choose RE/MAX and RE/MAX Executive Realty in particular is because I wanted to have control over my business. After working under the corporate mantra of Prudential Real Estate, when I started my career in 1986, I decided a change was necessary in 1996, if I wanted to take my real estate business to the next level.
One of the best decisions of my life was to choose to work for RE/MAX Executive Realty. The structure of the RE/MAX system is much different than “traditional” companies like Century 21 and Coldwell Banker. In a RE/MAX system the individual agent is empowered to make all their own business decisions. This is what I wanted…to have complete control over how I run my business.
In the “traditional” system the agent relies on the owner or manager to call all the shots. How a property is marketed and advertised is up to the company and NOT the agent. In the RE/MAX system the individual agent you hire to sell your home will be making all the business decisions on what is best to accomplish your goals. The decision to join RE/MAX is what catapulted my business to the next level. In fact, last year I reached new heights by becoming the #1 RE/MAX agent in all of New England!
RE/MAX Is A Market Share Leader in Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate
RE/MAX Executive Realty has been one of the dominant Metrowest Massachusetts real estate companies over the last seventeen years. In fact, year after year RE/MAX Executive Realty leads in the Metrowest Massachusetts real estate market share for many of the towns in the area for listed and sold homes. In real estate, the goal is to always sell your own listings. The sellers, after all are your clients and have paid you well to perform. One of the many reasons why RE/MAX Executive Realty lists and sells more homes than any other agency in the Metrowest area is because of the skills of the agents along with the lines of communication.
The lines of communication work different at RE/MAX. When a consumer inquires about your home they ALWAYS speak with the listing agent i.e the person YOU hired to sell your home! Doesn’t that make the most business sense? Of course it does but yet almost all the other real estate companies that service real estate in and around Metrowest Massachusetts do not work that way.
These traditional companies have what is referred to as “office time”. During office time an agent answers the phone waiting for calls to come in for the homes that the company has listed. When a consumer calls, unless they specifically ask for the listing agent, they have to speak with the “on duty” agent. The “on duty” agent is not the listing agent. There are many reason why this system is not ideal.
The on duty agent may not have seen the house ~ It is difficult to represent a property well when you have not seen it. If you are flipping through papers to answer a consumers questions, you are less apt to convert that call to a client. Consumers want information quick! A savvy consumer can tell when an agent does not know their stuff. Many calls do not get converted to clients because of the agents skill level.
Top agents rarely man the phones ~ The agents that typically become the office secretary are the new agents, part time agents, and agents that don’t do much business. Can you picture a top producing Realtor manning the phones waiting to get a new client this way? I didn’t think so!
What if the agent manning the phone has a competing listing? I can tell you from experience when I worked for a traditional company, there were many occasions when I would over hear the “on duty” agent try to steer the buyer to one of their own listings. The RE/MAX system is designed for the listing agent to take ALL the calls on your property.
As mentioned briefly above, one of the other big differences in how a RE/MAX company works is that each agent makes all their own marketing decisions. RE/MAX agents are responsible for their own overhead. In traditional companies the owner of the company is responsible.
The agent has no say in when, where, and how much a property gets marketed. At RE/MAX the individual agent you hire is in control and does what is best for that particular property.
Can you guess what happens in a system where the agent pays for all their own expenses and does not rely on the owner to take care of all the overhead? You guessed it… the RE/MAX system attracts the best of the best in the industry. The Realtors that know they will be making sales every month regardless of what is happening in the market. RE/MAX attracts top producers! It is rare to see new or part time agents working at RE/MAX. Remember RE/MAX agents pay all their own expenses including rent and everything from paper clips to signs. Basically anything associated with running a business is paid for by the Realtor!
Choose a Realtor® with a Strong Internet Presence
The average time in the business for a RE/MAX agent is thirteen years! This is substantially higher than every other real estate company. Even within the RE/MAX system there are good Realtors® and there are GREAT Realtors®. Most of the time it does not cost you anymore to work with the the best of the best. If you are selling a home in the Metrowest Massachusetts area, picking a Realtor® with a strong Internet presence should be one of your top goals.
Your home or condo should show up on all the sites that garner the highest amount of Real Estate traffic. The agent you choose should have a website and more importantly the website should come in relevant online searches like the town, state, and the word “Real Estate”.
An agent that can rank well for a competitive search term like this will be drawing buyer clientele! Want to see some of the sites with the highest amount of Real Estate traffic online? See Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate marketing.

- Record RE/MAX Production – In 1999, RE/MAX Associates were involved in more than 1 million sales transaction sides within a single year in the United States alone – an industry milestone. The audited production figures represent the most transaction sides in a single year ever recorded by any real estate network. The RE/MAX network has repeated the feat ever since.
The RE/MAX Concept – RE/MAX stands for “Real Estate Maximums.”
In exchange for paying a management fee and a share of the monthly office overhead, RE/MAX Associates keep the maximum allowed amount of their commissions and receive the many benefits of RE/MAX programs and services.
By offering Associates maximum commissions and maximum career freedom, RE/MAX influenced competitors to re-examine and adjust their own policies toward sales agents, thus dramatically changing the industry. As the network grew, renowned for its top producers and quality service to consumers, so did support programs, making RE/MAX a dynamic force in real estate education and technology.
The organization was one of the first real estate companies to have its own proprietary television network and one of the first in the industry to develop a site on the World Wide Web.

In January 2007, “Entrepreneur” magazine ranked RE/MAX No. 6 – up from No. 9 – on the 2006 Top Global Franchises list and again named RE/MAX “Best of the Best” for real estate services for the seventh time in eight years. RE/MAX climbed from No. 11 of Fastest Growing Franchises to No. 7 and finished in position No. 2 among Top Low Cost Franchises. It’s no wonder more people look to RE/MAX to help them in the home buying process.
On average, RE/MAX Associates sell more real estate than other agents. They are better qualified to set the right price for the homes they list, are better equipped to market those homes, and are likely to find clients engaged in the home buying process in a shorter period of time. That experience and education also means they are better qualified to find the right home for any buyer. The home buying process can be a daunting task, but with the expertise of a RE/MAX Associate, buyers can rest easy.
