RE/MAX Crest | Masters

What RE/MAX Crest | Masters does

RE/MAX Crest | Masters is a privately held real estate brokerage operating as a franchisee under the RE/MAX brand, with five franchise offices located across the Greater Vancouver area — specifically in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, and West Vancouver. The company provides residential real estate brokerage services, including property sales, purchases, and leasing, through a network of independent agents who work from these offices and transact via the MLS system (with property imagery served by Paragon). The franchise also operates under the trade names RE/MAX Crest Realty and Masters Realty.

The business model is transaction-based: agents earn commissions on property sales, with the firm capturing a share via the standard RE/MAX franchise split and desk-fee structure. The company makes no public disclosures on commission rates, agent counts, or transaction volumes. Its go-to-market is sales-led through direct agent relationships with individual home buyers and sellers, supported by RE/MAX brand recognition (described on the franchise's own site as "the leader in the industry in Canada"), the managing broker's training and support, and agent achievement programs that include tiers such as Chairman's Club ($500K–$749K gross commissions), Titan Club, Diamond Club, Pinnacle Club, Lifetime Achievement, Circle of Legends, Luminary of Distinction, and Paramount of Excellence ($30M+ gross commissions and 30+ years tenure).

The company's technology footprint is minimal: no mobile app, no public API or SDK, no proprietary platform features beyond standard MLS listing integration, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Customer acquisition is primarily through the franchise website, MLS listing visibility, agent referrals, and word-of-mouth within the Greater Vancouver real estate community. The franchise does not publish financial information, has no disclosed parent company, no institutional investors, no funding history, and no M&A activity; its legal name is RE/MAX Crest | Masters Group, and it operates as an independent franchise within the broader RE/MAX network.
