WHAT IS RE/MAX INTEGRA?From a single office that opened in 1973, RE/MAX, LLC founders Dave and Gail Liniger have grown RE/MAX into a global real estate network of franchisee owned and operated offices with more than 100,000 sales associates worldwide. As the largest master sub-franchisor within the RE/MAX network, RE/MAX INTEGRA operates 30% of that worldwide network, with 30,000 sales associates in over 35 countries. RE/MAX INTEGRA began in 1980 when Frank J. Polzler and Walter J. Schneider purchased the rights to sell RE/MAX franchises in the Ontario and Atlantic regions of Canada. In the following years they acquired the same rights to New England, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Europe. All of the above regions now operate under theRE/MAX INTEGRA name.
