On day two of the 2022 RE/MAX R4 convention, the energy remained high, the learning engaging and the networking, as always, proved to be priceless.

Nowhere was this more evident than during the Global Referral Exchange, which featured representatives from more than 25 countries, including Brazil, Ireland, Indonesia, Bolivia, Chile, Cayman Islands and so many more. 

The global network, with a presence in more than 110 countries and territories, features more than 140,000 agents in nearly 9,000 offices. Referrals and networking have long been identified as a favorite among RE/MAX affiliates.

Matilde Aguirre, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX United Realty in Coral Gables, Florida, just outside Miami, says the value the Global Referral Exchange gives her business is immeasurable.

“I come to the convention to make new friends while meeting all my friends that I have run into year after year and work on referrals with,” says Aguirre, who estimates around  20% of her business comes from referrals. “From Latin America, Puerto Rico, you name it.”

To the RE/MAX network, she says, “Thank you for being my support.”

As flags were waving, refreshments were served and gifts were exchanged, affiliates in attendance also swapped business cards, phone numbers and flyers. Lasting impressions are important and Thiago Medeiros, a Regional Owner of RE/MAX Brazil, certainly delivered.

With a tattoo of the RE/MAX balloon on his right arm and a tattoo that translates to #followthemodel on his left, Medeiros is one of 50 RE/MAX affiliates in Brazil who represent the brand with a tattoo.

“I’m crazy about RE/MAX,” Medeiros said. “I love RE/MAX and I love the tools.”

R4, which attracted more than 7,000 RE/MAX affiliates from 42 countries were in attendance at the annual convention, spanned three days in Las Vegas.
