More progress came in the early 2000s. The network launched a luxury homes division and RSN evolved into RE/MAX University. The pace of international growth quickened especially in South America. Unfortunately, the U.S. housing collapse and global economic crisis that began in 2007 took the real estate industry into its most challenging period in decades. Not surprisingly, Dave Liniger and other RE/MAX leaders aggressively sought solutions.

Today, the RE/MAX network has over 96,000 agents and 6,200 offices in more than 95 countries. RE/MAX China is among the newest regions, and it will take RE/MAX into an exciting new frontier. The global.remax.com property search site has helped connect this powerhouse network even more closely, offering buyers a central place to search for listings in dozens of countries, in their own language and currency. For many reasons, RE/MAX is viewed as the No. 1 brand in real estate.

RE/MAX enjoys a top position in a very competitive landscape. And with innovative technology such as the redesigned remax.com, the RE/MAX Mobile Suite, the new MyRU eLearning platform, and the new RE/MAX Commercial website, the network continues to break barriers and stay ahead of ongoing trends. That's been an enduring theme throughout the network's history which reached 40 years in 2013.
