RE/MAX Marketplace Adds 11 Vendors

RE/MAX announced the addition of eleven companies to the RE/MAX Approved Supplier program. The new additions, spanning anti-crime resources, advanced real estate technology and sophisticated marketing services, equip affiliates with top resources that are simple to implement. The curated vendors enable real estate agents to focus on what they do best – helping clients buy and sell homes.

All services and materials are available for purchase – often at RE/MAX negotiated rates – directly through the RE/MAX Marketplace, the online portal exclusively available to RE/MAX agents in the U.S. and Canada.
