Twenty Chicago real estate offices and office groups in the RE/MAX Northern Illinois network, operating a total of 50 offices across the region, recently were spotlighted in the nation’s most prestigious survey of real estate office productivity.
The 2008 Real Trends 500, an annual report from Real Trends magazine, is a ranking of the 500 leading real estate offices or office networks with common ownership in the nation. The offices are ranked based on prior-year transaction volume, as well as by sales volume.

RE/MAX Northern Illinois offices accounted for 11 percent of the 186 RE/MAX affiliates in the United States recognized by Real Trends.
