RE/MAX Makes a House Call

Launches Platform that Invites Home Buyers and Sellers to Ask and Get their Real Estate Questions Answered


Toronto, Oct. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Have a question? RE/MAX can answer it!

To complement a recent brand refresh to a modern and digital look, RE/MAX has announced that they will be telling and showing why the brand has been Canada’s number-one real estate company for over 40 years. Launching “The RE/MAX House Call,” they are openly inviting new and first-time homebuyers to a virtual Q&A, where consumers are able to post their real estate questions and get advice and feedback to help guide them through the home buying and selling process

The social media campaign, connecting millennials with real estate insights from across the nation, aims to showcase the brand’s vast experience in the real estate industry. It will run from October 18 to November 21, 2017.

Consumers are invited to submit their questions via Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #AskREMAX, for the chance to win a weekly $200 Visa gift card. All entries will be reviewed and select questions will receive a video answer each week from one of RE/MAX’s reputable agents anywhere in Canada. Full information and contest rules and regulations can be found at online at #AskREMAX contest.

“We are excited to connect our real estate expertise with homeowners—and the next generation of young, first-time homebuyers—in a way they can relate to and trust,” said Christopher Alexander, Regional Director, RE/MAX INTEGRA Ontario-Atlantic Canada. “Recognizing that buying or selling a home is a significant emotional decision, we wanted to put a more personal touch into how we connect with consumers about their questions. Video answers are the perfect way to add a face to the information received, and reaffirms both the brand’s commitment to our customers as well as the value a qualified realtor brings to the table.”

After November 21, homebuyers will still be able to communicate on their own terms via the new Ask RE/MAX online chat tool, which was launched to the public on October 12.

“In an era where millennial homebuyers prefer text to talk, videos have taken over news feeds and marketing to a moving target is the challenge, The RE/MAX House Call reiterates the need for face-to-face connections, but with a digital twist,” adds Alexander.

The RE/MAX House Call was created as part of the recent refresh to stay in line with customer needs. The updated logo balloon and typeface (announced on August 21) was designed specifically for digital and mobile use, aligning the company with the modern tastes of next-generation buyers.
