"The U.S. housing market began an encouraging rebound in June after COVID-19 interrupted 2020's promising start," stated Adam Contos, RE/MAX Holdings Chief Executive Officer. "We're well positioned to help our affiliates build on this positive momentum given the financial and structural strength of our business model, which to date has enabled us to keep staff intact and continue to expand our value proposition. In the field, our RE/MAX and Motto professionals have adapted to the current environment exceptionally well, leveraging technology and adhering to social distancing guidelines, to expertly guide consumers in a safe and largely virtual way."

Contos continued, "Our RE/MAX and Motto networks are finding opportunities to grow and build their businesses in this very demanding time. Motto posted its best second quarter of franchise sales yet, and its franchise sales on a trailing-twelve-month basis are the highest in its four-year history. On the RE/MAX side, global agent count continued to rise, while agent count in the U.S. and Canada stabilized in June and July. Our franchisees in both brands continue to demonstrate their local leadership by bringing productive agents and loan originators into our networks – and then helping those individuals get even better at what they do. Their recruiting efforts – supported by our programs and services – are critical to our ability to succeed in every kind of environment."
