By Amanda Okker, RE/MAX Senior Editor

RE/MAX unveiled the brand-new RE/MAX Mobile App on Monday during the annual  RE/MAX R4 Convention in Las Vegas. Downloads of the free app for iPhone and Android  smartphones spiked  well into the thousands in the hours following the announcement. To download the free app, which features U.S. listings and much more, visit  getmobile.remax.com or scan the QR code at the right with your iPhone or Android smartphone.  The iPhone app wows on the iPad, too. And rest assured, an iPad app is coming soon! To find the RE/MAX Mobile App by visiting the App Store or Android Market, simply search "RE/MAX." RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly announced the exciting new tool, developed in partnership with Homes  Media Solutions, to a cheering R4 Opening General Session crowd of more than 4,000 RE/MAX Affiliates  in Las Vegas."Your clients and prospects can get details of homes right in front of them, across town or  across the country," Kelly said. "When they see something of interest, they tap a button and a RE/MAX agent  gets the lead, with, as always, no referral fee." "Our clients expect the absolute best, and the RE/MAX Mobile App keeps us on the cutting edge of real estate  technology so we can deliver the best to them," Melte said. Affiliates outside the U.S.should check with their regional offices for information on mobile app solutions in  their regions or countries. You can take action right now Kelly's key action items: "Download it, rate it and share it." This mantra was plastered all over the RE/MAX R4 convention area as a reminder that downloads, ratings and  promotions of the RE/MAX Mobile App benefit everyone. These actions help guide users to the best real estate  search app, create more exposure for listings, and generate more valuable leads for agents. Watch the mobile app video that was played during the R4 session. And download the RE/MAX Mobile App  FAQs for additional information. How to put it in your clients' handsThe best way for customers to get a hold of the RE/MAX Mobile App  is for you to tell them about it. Simply point them to getmobile.remax.com, where they'll find links to download  the app for iPhone and Android. If they visit the site on their smartphone, they'll automatically be redirected to  the RE/MAX Mobile App download page in their phone's app store. All future mobile app promotional resources will be added to this page as they're developed. Why they (and you!) will love itThere are a number of features that consumers will rave about, not  the least of which is that they'll see all the listings wherever they are or wherever they want to be – just like on remax.com! Here are some other great selling points. Users can: Download and enjoy it free of charge Instantly search nearby homes for sale based on their current location   Customize their searches using advanced search filters View properties using the dynamic map search Quickly zoom and navigate neighborhoods with interactive "balloon view" maps  Generate turn-by-turn driving directions from their current location to properties that interest them Save their searches and favorite listings to their smartphone or tablet Easily share properties for sale with friends and family via email  Determine the best financial options, loan amounts and monthly payments with the integrated mortgage calculator  Quite simply: It's another avenue to the No. 1 real estate network. And when consumers initiate contact with an agent about a property that interests them,  a lead is generated and delivered to a RE/MAX agent instantly. And as always, it's delivered through LeadStreet – with no referral fees attached. Plus, one  click can connect them right to a phone call with the listing agent. Just the beginning As Kelly mentioned during the R4 opening session, the RE/MAX Mobile App is just the first technology milestone of the year. As promised, a better remax.com is also on the way. "Work on the redesign is moving ahead with great energy and vigor," Kelly said. "The site is going to be a huge upgrade over what we have now (which, by  the way, is already the most-visited site among franchise competitors). It will push the envelope, serve the interest of consumers, and generate even more valuable leads for you!"

Home Buyers & Sellers Prefer RE/MAX

Results from the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Home Buyer/Seller Study, recognize RE/MAX for providing the highest overall consumer satisfaction for both home buyers and home sellers. In last year’s study, two different companies ranked the highest in each category, but this year home buyers and sellers both rated RE/MAX the highest.  "It all comes down to professionalism and a commitment to a premier level of customer service," said RE/MAX Chairman and Co-Founder Dave Liniger. "Because RE/MAX agents average more experience and training than other agents, they are better prepared to deal with home buyers and sellers in any kind of market. And, consumer preferences tell the story . . . nobody sells more real estate than RE/MAX."  This is the fourth annual study of home buyer and seller satisfaction with the largest national real estate companies, conducted by J.D. Power and Associates. For the home buying experience, three factors were considered: agent/salesperson, office and a variety of additional services. Four factors were examined for the home-selling experience: agent/salesperson, marketing, office and a variety of additional services. 

Details from the study indicate that on a scale of 1,000, homebuyer respondents ranked RE/MAX with a score of 805 and home sellers put RE/MAX on top at 791. The 2011 study includes more than 4,200 evaluations from 3,680 respondents who bought or sold a home in the U.S. between March 2010 and April 2011.

In two other 2011 industry surveys of the country’s top real estate brokerages, RE/MAX agents averaged more transaction sides than agents at the other national franchises. The RIS Media Power Broker Survey and the REAL Trends 500 both showed that RE/MAX agents averaged over 14 transactions sides, more than double the average of many competitors.

The success of RE/MAX agents is the result of its comprehensive educational platform, RE/MAX University, which offers over 1,100 educational programs on-demand, and available online, on television, on smart phones and in classrooms around the world.
