Numerous agents and companies go around touting:
"We're #1"
"Top Company in Sales"
"Highest Sales Volume in the Region"
"We Sell More"
"Highest Number of Sales"
Anybody can say it, but can they all prove it?
That's what's important.
Next time an agent says that their company is the best, ask for the proof!

We are a great bunch of agents :-) Having been with the other company before joining RE/MAX Allegiance I am proud to be where I am today!
Cindy & Brian: It is interesting to see how statistics can be diced to show how successful a company is. I was suprised to hear who is nuimber in listings and sales in Prince William County today.
Brian - According to your stats, isn't it more accurate that RE/MAX Allegiance agents have 67% more transactions?
makes our 11 agents look like peanuts :o) congrats
CINDY: Thanks for your comment. I'm glad that we're both part of the Allegiance team.
CHRIS: It can be interesting. So, who's tops in PWC?
TCHAKA: Thanks for the correction. I've made it in the post.
THESA: Before I started with this RE/MAX franchise, I worked at a mom & pop (or more accurately Mom & Son) brokerage for about a year and a half -- I think we had 6 or 7 agents total.
It reminds me of a quote from a college football recruit who said "the last ten colleges told me they had the top five engineering program."
CHUCK: Very funny!
Brian - or ask them # 1 in what?????
BARBARA: Good point!
Brian, Aren't we just the berries? Arthur and I became RE/MAX agents in 1980 when nobody thought it would last, He left to "be on his own" in 1998. That means he works for me with no RE/MAX fees - it took him 18 years to figure it out, but what do you expect from a guy from New Jersey, Karen
Hey Brian,
We have a local car dealership that advertises they are the Number One Chevy dealer in the city where they are located. What they forget to mention is that they are the only Chevy dealership in that city! :)
KAREN: Thanks for your comment. Obviously the RE/MAX concept lasted and thrived.
NOT YET LICENSED: By the way, when do you expect to get your license? When you are the only one, you have to really try to not be number one! And you are simultaneously the best & the worst in town.
I guess the proof is in the pudding..LOL I've seen adds in the local papers of agents saying " we can sell your home FAST". If you look at their MLS listings, you'll see that some have been around for a long time.
If your MLS is like ours, you can manipulate the numbers to make them read just about anything. That's the scary part!
