Annual Agents’ Choice Awards Honor RE/MAX As Favorite Chicago Real Estate Web Site And Sales & Marketing Company

RE/MAX, the Chicago real estate leader, captured two top awards in the annual Agents’ Choice Awards poll conducted by Chicago Agent Magazine, a professional trade journal.

The Chicago real estate agents participating in the poll named RE/MAX their Favorite Sales and Marketing Company in the Chicago suburbs, and the RE/MAX Web site, www.illinoisproperty.com, their Favorite Web Site in the city and suburbs. This was the third consecutive year that www.illinoisproperty.com named the Favorite Web Site for the suburbs and the first time it won that honor for the City of Chicago.
The winners of the 2008 poll were announced in the Nov. 17 issue of the magazine and were selected based on results of a survey distributed to thousands of Chicago-area Realtors®. Winners in 15 categories received their awards at a ceremony on Nov. 18.

“It is an honor to capture these two important awards,” said Jim Merrion, regional director of the RE/MAX network in northern Illinois. “A tremendous effort goes into making sure our Web site keeps pace with the increasingly sophisticated needs of consumers who use the Internet to find a home or real estate agent. Our Web site is a very productive and user-friendly tool for both agents and the public. It consistently ranks as one of the most visited sites in Chicagoland by compete.com, an online competitive intelligence service.

“We are also delighted that RE/MAX has been named the favorite Sales and Marketing Company in the Chicago suburbs. The award is really a testament to the outstanding service and expertise that agents, owners and managers in RE/MAX offices across the Chicago suburbs provide to the public every day,” said Merrion. “We are pleased they have received this recognition from their peers.”
