Franchise merger creates state’s largest ReMax company
With the state’s housing market down 40%, two of the area’s largest realty franchises merged to cut costs, eliminate duplication, and serve more clients. In the process, they’ve created one of the largest realty offices in Michigan.
According to excerpts from the story:
Two Grand Rapids-area ReMax franchises are joining forces to become part of the largest ReMax company in the state.
ReMax Success owners John Hilton and Sue Kazma-Hilton are merging with Daniel Slot and Robert Plesscher of ReMax Real Estate Professionals.
The resulting entity will be a network of three offices in the Grand Rapids area and four in the Lansing area with 135 agents.
“This makes us the largest ReMax company in Michigan,” said Kazma-Hilton.
The new company will do business as ReMax Real Estate Professionals and have about 45 agents in the Grand Rapids area.
The physical consolidation took place Friday. ReMax Success closed down its office at 1009 44th St. SW in Wyoming and moved into the combined offices at 2876 28th St. SW in Grandville.
In addition to the 28th Street location, the new business has an Ada Township location and will build a new office near Celebration Cinema in Grand Rapids.
