Magazine: 'RE/MAX is the No. 1 Real Estate Franchise'

RE/MAX is the nation's No. 1 real estate franchise - and the No. 10 franchise overall - according to Entrepreneur magazine's 29th Annual Franchise 500 survey.
The survey appears in the January 2008 issue and on the magazine's Web site.

7-Eleven beat out Subway to capture the top position overall. Subway, which had ranked No. 1 for the past seven years, came in at No. 2, with Dunkin' Donuts at No. 3.

RE/MAX has a long, successful history in the survey. It ranked No. 11 overall a year ago, No. 8 in 2006, No. 10 in 2005 and No. 19 in 2004.

Among real estate franchises, RE/MAX ranks No. 1 for the eighth time in the past nine years. The closest competitor - ERA - came in a long way back, at No. 43.

RE/MAX ranks No. 1 overall in the Low-Cost Franchises category. It finished No. 2 last year.

Additionally, RE/MAX tops all real estate competitors at No. 7 on the Global Franchises list and No. 10 among Fastest Growing Franchises.

All companies in the rankings are judged by the same criteria, the most important being financial strength and stability, size and growth rate. Also considered: number of years in business, length of time franchising, startup costs, litigation, percentage of terminations and financing options.

The factors are plugged into a Franchise 500 formula, with each eligible company receiving a cumulative score.
