Global REMAX Week 2026: How Our Network Comes Together to Give Back

October 4–10, 2026

Every October, something remarkable happens across the REMAX network: agents and brokers in offices spanning more than 110 countries and territories pause their transactions, listings, and closings to focus on something bigger than business — their communities. That’s Global REMAX Week, and this year it returns October 4–10, 2026.

What Is Global REMAX Week?

Global REMAX Week is an annual, network-wide initiative that invites REMAX affiliates around the world to volunteer, support local causes, and share their community impact under one shared banner. It’s a chance to show what “local expertise, global reach” really means — not just in how we sell real estate, but in how we show up for the neighborhoods we serve.

As Shawna Gilbert, Senior Vice President of REMAX Global & Commercial, put it: “Global REMAX Week highlights that combination of international connection and local action, and it shows how service can bring our network together across markets.”

Why It Matters for Agents and Brokers

This isn’t just a feel-good marketing moment — it’s a real opportunity to strengthen your presence in the community you work in every day.

  • Deepen local relationships. Volunteering alongside neighbors, clients, and local organizations builds trust that outlasts any single transaction.
  • Tell a better story. Clients and prospects increasingly want to work with agents who are invested in more than the sale. Global REMAX Week gives you an authentic story to share.
  • Be part of something bigger. Last year, participants from more than 40 countries and dozens of U.S. states took part — everything from packing meals and organizing shelters to spending time with shelter animals. Your local effort becomes part of a global one.
  • Boost morale and culture. For brokerages, a shared week of service is a great way to bring agents and staff together outside the usual grind of listings and closings.

How to Participate

Getting involved is simple. Here’s the official four-step playbook:

  1. 🍎 Give back. Collect donations, volunteer, or pick a way to support your local community.
  2. 📸 Capture it. Snap a photo or video of your team’s impact.
  3. 🏷 Tag it. Share on social media with #GlobalREMAXWeek.
  4. 🌟 Tell the story. Write about what your office or region is doing so the wider network can see it.

Ideas to Get Your Office Involved

Not sure where to start? Consider:

  • Partnering with a local food bank, shelter, or community center for a day of service
  • Organizing a neighborhood cleanup or park beautification project
  • Hosting a supply or clothing drive tied to a local nonprofit
  • Volunteering at an animal shelter or rescue organization
  • Coordinating a fundraiser and matching donations as a brokerage

Whatever you choose, keep it authentic to your community’s needs — the strongest Global REMAX Week stories come from local causes agents already care about.
