When we opened our doors back in 1998 as one of the first four RE/MAX franchises in the Las Vegas metropolitan area our goals were to build a dynamic business by building effective partnerships with our clients, agents and suppliers. Fast forwarding to today, we are the number one RE/MAX team in the world in terms of sales volumes. This growth is indicative of the quality of service and marketing that we’ve provided to each and every one of our clients and are establishing effective partnerships with each of our agents via mentoring processes, specialized training and going the extra mile when/as needed to ensure they consider themselves part of the extended family. Technology Focused REALTOR® We have immersed our business in technology when/where possible in order to make sure we can get timely information out to our clients in today’s 24/7/365 world and we are constantly looking for new ways to help our agents leverage technology to enhance their productivity and customer service. We integrate web based communications into all of our marketing processes when and where feasible, have one of the largest web sites in the country with extensive amounts of information geared towards informing our potential clients about our local community. Our wide array of technology components include connectivity via a t1 line, mls access, a state of the art training center, utilizing electronic communications when/where feasible with our clients and agents which includes: e-mail, text alerts, video and audio messaging, a state of the art lead generation system that is accessible to online lead inquiries anytime from any remote location, rss feeds, blogs (public and private) complimented with a significant ongoing investment in emerging web 2.0 tools. Philanthropic Community Focused Agency RE/MAX Central is an active participant in a number of Las Vegas charities and non-profit organizations and is aligned with philanthropic goals of our parent corporation. RE/MAX corporation has dedicated itself to helping the children’s miracle network and has raised over $75M since becoming the exclusive REALTOR® sponsor for this organization since 1992 and has also been a co-sponsor of the Susan G. Koman Race For Cure Benefits Organization. We don’t just talk the talk when it comes to being involved with charitable events that our parent corporation has aligned itself with; one of our two founders is on the Las Vegas BOD for the local chapter of the children’s miracle network and our other co-founder is a team leader for the Sentinels for Freedom, an organization focused on helping our returning veterans transition back into their local community with a job that is meaningful and commensurate with their career goals. Many of our agent/partners are involved with numerous charities in the greater Las Vegas area and a number of them are very actively involved in ensuring the local Las Vegas Susan G. Korman race for cure event is a tremendous success! Marketing Focus Agency RE/MAX Central considers marketing to be a core competency for our company not only for outreach marketing via our marketing advantage(tm) services on behalf of our clients but via our proprietary lead generation marketing system for our agents/partners. And, we don’t stop with a sophisticated marketing program on your behalf, we couple this with a back end telecommunications system that enables us to pinpoint the effectiveness of our marketing, enabling us aggressively promote your listing via marketing processes that generate immediate results. Our marketing advantage(tm) services are sophisticated and quite extensive on behalf of our clients. While many Las Vegas real estate firms take a one size fits all approach to marketing, we’ve developed specific powerful systematic marketing plans that blend traditional and online marketing in unique ways - each marketing campaign blends standards elements and some that are tailored to your specific type of real estate property. Re/MAX Agency is the only real estate firm in the greater Las Vegas area that publishes its own 80 page standalone “Homes by Price” glossy magazine on a bi-annual basis. This full color glossy publication is one of the cornerstones of our marketing advantage program – it is distributed via hundreds of outlets throughout the Las Vegas area including physician’s offices, automotive dealerships, grocery and convenience stores, retail stores and many other locations. Giving your home listing massive reach into the greater Las Vegas market, as it is viewed by approximately 60,000 people – we know of no other REALTOR® in our market that utilizes this type of aggressive marketing.
