DENVER, Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- More home
shoppers searched on remax.com in 2016 than any other national real
estate franchise website, according to recent data provided by
Hitwise. The website had more than 77 million visits last year,
more than the next two competitors combined and nearly double the
number of annual visits of its closest competitor.
The total number of visits to remax.com in 2016 was up 28
percent from the previous year, while three of the four next

its closest competitor. It is a testament to incredible brand power
of RE/MAX, the quality of RE/MAX agents, and ever-increasing
consumer engagement with the network's flagship website.
