New Start-Up

Susan Shin, an experienced real estate developer in the north suburban area, focused her attention on the brokerage side of the real estate market.

"Even agents who work for other companies have a great respect for the RE/MAX brand, and one close friend, who had worked for many of the top real estate firms, told me RE/MAX was the best in terms of the support it offers and its brand recognition in the marketplace. I then did some of my own research on RE/MAX and liked what I found out."
