Six RE/MAX leaders have been named to the prestigious 11th annual Swanepoel Power 200 (SP200), a compilation of North America’s most powerful and influential figures in real estate, released this week by real estate management consulting firm T3 Sixty. Among them are RE/MAX Canada President Christopher Alexander, who rose in rank this year to #48, up from #67 in 2023. Meanwhile, RE/MAX President and CEO Nick Bailey cracked the Top 10 in 2024, up from the #11 spot last year.
They are joined by four other RE/MAX leaders: James O’Bryon, Chad Ochsner and Brenda Tushaus, who head up the network’s largest multi-office, multi-state brokerage groups in the US; and Amy Lessinger, Senior VP of Region Development at RE/MAX.
