RE/MAX CRM

The RE/MAX Customer Relationship Management System is a comprehensive, in-house system designed to help you keep track of your client network. It goes beyond just storing contact information; the CRM also sends reminders for important dates like birthdays or property anniversaries. Other features include property matchings for contacts, an activity log to track client communication, and statistics on emails sent.

You can easily share any marketing Items of Value (IOV) with your clients as they're automatically integrated into the CRM. These items, crafted by the RE/MAX SA Marketing team, enable you to add value to your client service, including Gift Tags, Congratulations Cards, Happy Anniversary cards, and more.

RE/MAX LMS

The RE/MAX Listing Management System is your comprehensive in-house, bespoke management software solution, consolidating all your listings into one accessible platform. With the RE/MAX LMS, you can effortlessly view and manage your listings, publish to all the major listing platforms from one place, check listing status, edit details, and generate reports with ease. Additionally, LMS simplifies enquiry management and allows you to capture and monitor your deals. All in all, it's a platform for organising and tracking all your interactions.

RE/MAX Resource Centre

The Resource Centre serves as the central hub (repository) for all brand-related information and marketing materials, readily available for franchises and agents to utilise as needed. With each new marketing campaign, agent toolkits are rolled out, granting you access to high-quality artwork at no cost. Via the Resource Centre, you can easily access these toolkits, along with a host of other marketing templates and resources.

Design Hub

Easily craft customised listing brochures & customer engagement marketing materials for your clients, using our RE/MAX Design Hub tool. The Design Hub accommodates various campaign categories, offering over 1000 brochure templates for one-click PDF, JPG, and PNG production, or seamless sharing via email, Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp.

Max Center

RE/MAX is also a global brand, which means that all RE/MAX associates automatically gain access to Max Center, the global intranet system offering an array of services and resources including RE/MAX news, logos, events, marketing materials, products, and more. Serving as the gateway to the RE/MAX Design Center, LeadStreet, and RE/MAX University® (RU), Max Center is where agents from around the world share ideas and exchange referrals — for free. You can also access the RE/MAX Hustle tool via Max Center, which is a free-to-use video tool that allows you to create short, customisable video content to promote your own services.

Webinars & Live Online Courses

RE/MAX SA is one of the only agencies to offer a Certified Distressed Sales Agent designation (CDPA), which qualifies agents to work on Bank Mandated Sales through the four major banks in South Africa (ABSA, Standard Bank, Nedbank, and FNB). We also offer a variety of livestream webinars and interactive online courses throughout the year to keep our associates up to date with the latest tech and developments in the industry.

In business for yourself, but not by yourself

At RE/MAX, our business model is unique as it’s built around the concept of entrepreneurship. Each RE/MAX office is independently owned and operated, and high-performance agents have the opportunity to join an office as an independent contractor. This means that RE/MAX associates are offered the freedom to make their own business decisions independently, but still have the backing and support of an established global brand.

But wait…there’s still more!

This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of what RE/MAX has to offer our sales associates and Franchise Owners. We've implemented these systems, alongside a host of other benefits, to ensure that you, our agents and franchise owners, have a competitive edge and can establish yourselves as industry leaders. For more information about our RE/MAX offering, give our Regional Support Office a call on 021 700 2000.

Have more unanswered questions? Here are some related questions – and answers

Does RE/MAX give agents leads?

Agents have the ability to receive leads through our RE/MAX Rapid Referral System. Additionally, agents with CDPA accreditation receive distressed property leads from banking institutions. An agent might also receive leads through any enquiries made on remax.co.za.

Do estate agents get a basic salary?

No, estate agents don’t usually get a basic salary but rather earn commission based on each sale. This does, however, depend on the agreement between the individual and the specific RE/MAX franchise with which they work.

How much does a property agent make in South Africa?

Earnings will fluctuate depending on sales because it is based on commission earned, which can be affected by the number of sales and the city or town in which they are based.
