Reader’s Digest names RE/MAX
‘Most Trusted Residential Real Estate Brand in Canada’
ON (May 3, 2010)
Digest will unveil its “Most Trusted Brands” list in its May 2010 issue. The magazine commissioned
independent third party Harris/Decima to conduct 1,500 online surveys among a random sample of
its panel members from October 2 – 15, 2009.
“The results of the survey are proof positive that our sales associates are the best in the business,”
says Michael Polzler, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX Ontario
A reputation based on consistent results. RE/MAX associates sell one in every three homes in Canada
and carry more professional designations than any other realtor in Canada. We’re specialists in all
niches from residential, recreational, and commercial properties to luxury homes. Our focus has
always been service excellence, which includes a serious emphasis on professional development and
education. The status quo may work for some, but after almost 40 years in the business, we’re not
content to rest on our laurels. “
Reader’s Digest looked at 28 different product categories from cereal to real estate and allowed consumers to select the brands that they trusted the most. RE/MAX joins leading brands such as RBC Royal Bank, TD Canada Trust, Air Canada, and Blackberry.
“Our commitment to the communities in which we live and work also runs deep,” says Polzler. “I
think that’s something that has always set RE/MAX apart. We’ve been involved in charitable giving
long before the terms ‘corporate philanthropy’ and ‘cause marketing’ were common. RE/MAX
realtors participate in countless vital programs and causes each year that help the most vulnerable
members of our society and strengthen the foundation of neigbhourhoods from coast to coast. Their
enthusiasm, spirit and dedication to others never fails to inspire.”
Charitable giving is woven into the fabric of the RE/MAX organization. The company and its salesforce has demonstrated a strong desire to give back, exceptionally active in both corporate and local
charities. Close to $40 million has been raised in support of Children’s Miracle Network since 1992 –
which funds research and development, outreach programs and upgrades to equipment and facilities
at children’s hospitals and foundations across the country. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
is also a cause close to the hearts of RE/MAX associates—one that RE/MAX continues to support
through its popular Sold on a Cure Program and the annual Yard Sale for the Cure.
