High-producing franchise vs AI-identified top performer

Best Agents Match — proven by data

The agent who earned your match

Haven AI doesn't assume any agent is a top performer — it proves it. Every agent is scored on 20 quantitative outcome dimensions using real transaction data. You get the one who earned it.

RE/MAX — experienced but self-selected

High volume, but which agent is yours?

RE/MAX attracts experienced agents through its commission model. The average RE/MAX agent outperforms some other franchises. But within RE/MAX, performance varies widely — and the top agent in your neighborhood is not automatically the most visible one.

Frequently asked questions

Is Best Agents Match better than RE/MAX for selling a home?

BAM and RE/MAX serve different purposes. RE/MAX is a premium brokerage franchise known for experienced, high-producing agents. BAM is an AI matching service that identifies which agent — regardless of franchise — has the best performance data for your specific home. If the top-performing agent in your area happens to be RE/MAX affiliated, BAM might match you with them.

What is RE/MAX and how does it work?

RE/MAX is one of the world's largest real estate franchises. Agents pay a desk fee to their local RE/MAX office and keep most of their commission (often 95%+). Sellers work with RE/MAX agents who they find through referrals, Zillow, or the RE/MAX website. There is no AI matching service.

Does RE/MAX use AI to match sellers with agents?

RE/MAX does not have an AI matching system for sellers. The RE/MAX website and app allow sellers to search for agents by area, and RE/MAX markets its network as home to high-producing agents — but performance vetting is not built into the matching process.

Are RE/MAX agents better than average?

RE/MAX's model attracts experienced agents because the high desk fee is only sustainable for agents who close enough deals to cover costs. On average, RE/MAX agents tend to be more experienced than some other franchises. However, "experienced" is not the same as "top-performing in your specific neighborhood," which is what Haven AI measures.

How does RE/MAX's commission structure work?

RE/MAX agents typically keep 95–100% of their commission but pay a monthly desk fee to their office. This structure attracts agents who do high volume. Sellers pay the standard listing commission to their RE/MAX agent.

Is BAM free like using a RE/MAX agent?

Yes. Both options are free for sellers — you pay the agent's commission at closing. BAM adds no fee on top of the standard commission.

Can BAM match me with a RE/MAX agent?

Yes. Haven AI is franchise-agnostic. If a RE/MAX-affiliated agent scores highest on Haven AI's 20-dimension evaluation for your home, that agent would be your match. BAM optimizes for performance data, not brand affiliation.

What are Haven AI's 20 dimensions vs RE/MAX's selection criteria?

Haven AI measures sale-to-list ratio, days-on-market, negotiation outcomes, local deal volume, response time, client ratings, and 14 additional performance dimensions using real transaction data. RE/MAX's selection process is market-driven — agents attract clients through advertising, referrals, and platform visibility.
