MGM NEWSLETTER
November - 2013
Management Speak:
Last month RE/MAX MGM celebrated Diwali and
the Gujarati New Year by gifting trees. Apart from
that the office decided against bursting crackers. It is our endeavor to save the environment
and show that realtors do care for the planet. RE/
MAX International has done a lot of efforts in
this direction and the headquarters are housed
in a LEED certified building. For the size of the
company we have extensively used technology
to reduce paperwork and increase our efficiency.
Indian GDP growth has slumped to a sub 5% level this quarter. While its not very low compared
to the global GDP or GDP growth average in any
developed country, developing economies are
used to a double digit growth. India used to have a GDP of 7% and upto 12% in recent past. The
general belief is that a new government elected with a majority would only be able to turnaround
the fortunes of the country. This may not be wrong, but what one should not forget that a this
is the best time to invest in real estate. With the elections round the corner the sentiments of
market will improve and the prices will come up soon.

Like we have seen in the past, about 2-3 years India experiences “slow growth” and thereafter
about 2 years we see double digit GDP growth. Common practice is to buy when the market is
good, while common sense is to buy when the market is bad. As I would put it: buy right now.

RE/MAX MGM Congratulates RE/MAX ADVANTAGE and Mr. Anand Choksi
for completing 3 years in RE/MAX. Here he narrates his journey of last
three years in RE/MAX which is worth reading.
RE/MAX ADVANTAGE: A journey of 1000 miles starts with a single
step......
After 8 years of stay in Canada, I moved back in December 2008 and was trying to get
my feet wet again in my home town Ahmedabad. I started working with LG Electronics
as a Zonal Manager and since the entrepreneurship blood was running down my nerves,
my eyes were looking for a business opportunity that will give me the independence and
ambitious life!
Dive into RE/MAX:
RE/MAX was not a new name to me as my house in Canada was sold by a RE/MAX agent.
It took 6 months of brainstorming and evaluating the business opportunity for me to make
up my mind to get into real estate industry with RE/MAX- the World’s largest real estate
brokerage company. My total work experience was in Telecom and Consumer Durable
industry. With no knowledge about real estate, on 21st November 2010 I took the first
step of my journey and Inaugurated RE/MAX ADVANTAGE. With all high spirit, leadership qualities and zest to drive miles in this industry I
started putting lot of hard work and believe me - focus and patience were the keys.

6. RE/MAX Mumbai –Gujarat – Maharashtra
Journey with RE/MAX from 2010 to 2013:
RE/MAX ADVANTAGE started the business in November 2010 in 300 sqft office space and we built the team of 10 associates by end of the
first year. We were recognized as the Best Broker Office for highest net agent gain in the region for the second quarter of inception and as
the National Broker office for the third quarter. This boosted my confidence and I accelerated myself into recruitment, training and expanding
our office-space with an additional 650 sqft space in February 2012 and got the team strength to almost 20 associates. Having seen the
thick and thin of real estate, we transacted in innumerable properties in all verticals be it commercial, residential or land. We as a team have
been on the learning curve as always which was the secret mantra of our success. To build even a stronger base, in June 2013 we added a
new location of 2000 sqft Office space with a better set of amenities for the Broker Associates and to service the clients with magnificence.
Putting the pieces of puzzle together:
Right early in this journey I had figured out nothing comes easy in business. Over these 3 years, I have done my best in all the following
verticals knowing each one was a part of the puzzle to see the full picture in place. All that the business demanded right from myself being trained at the RE/MAX Regional office and RE/MAX Headquarters, attending national and international conventions, setting up office
operations, expanding the team of Business Associates, training them with the basics of Real Estate, Transacting in properties, providing
best services to clients, administrative support, builder tie-ups, lead generation, marketing in various streams, team building activities to
maintaining the profitability was all done under the roof of RE/MAX ADVANTAGE to make it what it is today.
Achievements:
RE/MAX ADVANTAGE has been awarded as the National No.1 Broker Office across the entire network of RE/MAX India consequently in years
2011 and 2012. More to this, RE/MAX ADVANTAGE marked into the history of the RE/MAX Network by expanding its horizons and opening
one more Broker Office in Ahmedabad - RE/MAX ADVANTAGE Plus. RE/MAX ADVANTAGE has also been awarded as the National Franchise
of the Year 2013 across all industries/companies by Franchise India. The company is built on the philosophy of providing the best services
to the clients and a promising career for the associates.
What started as a modest operations in 300 sq feet office space 3 years back is today a thriving business with 2 locations in 3000 sq feet
space and a team of over 40 members. As a team we have transacted in over 1000 properties. We have a long list of loyal clients and satisfied builders. The achievement I am most proud of is what I have been able to do for my associates. The associates that came from different
walks of life and joined hands with me, are now envisioning a very bright future and a promising career ahead. Many of our associates have
been recognized and awarded as top performers in the entire RE/MAX India network. Today RE/MAX ADVANTAGE is on auto pilot mode
where in the team keeps getting bigger, inquiries keep flowing in, transactions are happening and we keep crossing milestones: a journey
that is set to reach heights!
Together Everyone Achieves More – here I fully mean this for the bunch of 40 we have in our office without which RE/MAX ADVANTAGE
wouldn’t have been such a fun journey...and our best is yet to come...!

RE/MAX Rings NYSE Opening Bell
Executives with RE/MAX Holdings, Inc., one of the world’s leading franchisors of real estate brokerage services, celebrated the company’s
recent initial public offering (IPO) this morning with a visit to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) floor.
RE/MAX Chairman and Co-Founder Dave Liniger, Vice Chair and Co-Founder Gail Liniger and Chief Executive Officer Margaret Kelly rang
the opening bell, surrounded by a group of RE/MAX officers and board members.
The company’s stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Oct. 2 under the ticker symbol “RMAX.” The bell ringing
is one of the most momentous events in the history of the 40-year-old Denver-based company.
“When we founded RE/MAX in 1973, Gail and I could never have imagined that we’d have the opportunity to ring the opening bell,” said
Dave Liniger, RE/MAX Chairman and Co-Founder. “This is truly an exhilarating milestone. Not only for us, but for each and every member
of the RE/MAX Network around the world.”
This has been a year of continued success for RE/MAX. In 2013, for the fifth consecutive year, RE/MAX ranked as the leading real estate
franchise organization in the Franchise Times Top 200. The survey is based on annual worldwide sales. RE/MAX placed 14th among all
franchises, gaining two places over its standing in 2012.
RE/MAX was also named one of the Top 50 Franchises for Minorities by the National Minority Franchising Initiative through the World Franchising Network - the only real estate company to make the Top 50.
In the first half of the year, RE/MAX added 299 franchises worldwide, with 112 new franchises in the U.S. Through the end of June, franchise
sales were up 4% from the same period in 2012.
