Comparing RE/MAX and Realty Executives is about more than brand preference — it's about which franchise fits your financial profile and funding strategy. Investment ranges from $75K to $1.2M.
Both brands have active SBA lending histories — RE/MAX with 262 SBA loans and Realty Executives with 26. This means proven lender acceptance and established underwriting paths for franchise buyers.
SBA 7(a) loans are the most common franchise funding vehicle, offering up to $5M with as little as 10% down. PeerSense connects franchise buyers with the specific lenders who have approved loans for these brands — not generic referrals, but lenders with actual franchise lending track records.
Data sourced from SBA loan records, Franchise Disclosure Documents, and public filings. Updated regularly. Not financial advice — consult with a lending professional before making investment decisions.
