RE/MAX Accelerates UK Expansion as Franchise and Self-Employed Agent Model Drives Record Growth

RE/MAX, the global real estate network, is experiencing rapid expansion across the UK as its franchise-led, self-employed agent model continues to attract high-performing estate agents and new entrepreneurial franchise owners.

Built on a combination of local ownership and global brand strength, the RE/MAX UK network has grown significantly, fuelled by rising numbers of franchisees opening offices and a surge in experienced agents choosing the self-employed structure. This model offers agents greater autonomy, higher commission potential, and access to RE/MAX’s international marketing, technology, and support systems.

“Experienced agents want independence without losing the power of a strong brand behind them,” said a spokesperson for RE/MAX England & Wales. “Our model gives them the freedom to build their own business with the backing of a globally recognised network.”

The franchise structure has enabled RE/MAX to scale quickly across the UK, reducing traditional overheads while ensuring every office is run by motivated local entrepreneurs with a direct stake in market performance. Meanwhile, the self-employed associate model continues to draw seasoned professionals eager to break away from traditional salaried roles.

Together, these two pillars have positioned RE/MAX as one of the fastest-growing hybrid models in the UK property sector — combining the customer trust of a global brand with the agility of locally owned, independently operated offices.

RE/MAX England & Wales has announced further plans for expansion, with new franchise territories opening and an ongoing recruitment push aimed at self-employed agents seeking greater career freedom and earning potential.
