who
brings
a
unique
combination
of
strategic

operational

to

table,”

in

“His

as
we
continue
to
expand
the
RE/MAX
footprint
and
provide
even
more
support
to

He’s
the
right
person
to
help
us
grow
and
lead
the
charge
into
the
future.

“Bringing
Chris
on
board
is
an
important
part

resources
available

affiliates.
We
are

in
the
future,
as
RE/MAX

to
redefine
what
it
means
to
be
the

real
estate

leader
worldwide,”
Carlson
added.

Lim
expressed
excitement
over
joining
RE/MAX,
citing
Carlson’s
vision
as
a
key
factor.

“I’m
inspired
by
Erik’s
vision
for
the
Company
and
the
direction
RE/MAX
is
taking,”
he
said
in
a
statement.
“The

is
about
innovation,
growth
and

and
the
best
is
yet
to
come
for
RE/MAX
as
we
lead
the
way.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
our
franchisees
and
agents
to
drive
growth
strategies
across
the
network.”

Before
joining
RE/MAX,
Lim

served
as
president

of


Christie’s
International
Real
Estate
.
He
also
held
leadership
roles
at

@properties
,

Realogy
Holdings

and

Climb
Real
Estate
.
Lim’s
experience
attracted
recognition
from
industry
peers
as
he
appeared
on
the
Swanepoel
Power
200
and
Trendsetter
lists.

RE/MAX
is
currently
undergoing
other
changes
in
its
leadership
suite.

Amy
Lessinger
announced
her
resignation

as
president
effective
Jan.
17.
Carlson
will
serve
as
the
interim
president.

RE/MAX
has
also
shown
signs
of
struggles
with
its
domestic
agent
count,
forcing
the
company
to
explore
other
business
models.
The
company
reported
that
its
total

agent
count
dropped

0.7%
year
over
year
to
143,542
as
of
midyear
2024,
fueled
by
a
6.3%
decline
in
U.S.
agents.
Lim’s
hiring
could
be
a
key
factor
in
correcting
this
issue
and
bringing
more
agents
into
the
fold
for
RE/MAX
in
2025.
