REMAX.COM Cited As The Most Visited Real Estate Brand Web Site

Another Hitwise Top Ten Award has been presented to www.remax.com, based on the number of visits to the site in the last quarter of 2007. The site ranked second overall in the real estate industry category in the United States and was the top ranked site among real estate brokerage brands. The site averages more than 2 million unique visitors each month.

The RE/MAX site offers consumers the ability to search more than 90 percent of all listed properties for sale in the U.S., delivering access to more multiple listing services and more individual property listings than any other real estate brokerage brand.
