A CULTURE OF CARING RE/MAX Platinum Services’ agents care about their communities and know their clients do too. That’s why our brokerage is a 100% Children’s Miracle Network office. Every agent contributes part of their commissions earned on each closed transaction to CMN. We’ve been honored to be recognized by the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals® as the Highest Total Contribution from a Single Office in the RE/MAX Pacific Northwest Region. Because 100 percent of the donations benefit local CMN, RE/MAX agents are helping kids in their very own neighborhood receive the best care possible. The best part is, clients receive a personalized Honor Card letting them know a donation has been made in their name to Children’s Miracle Network. Participation is a great way to increase your chances of earning repeat and referral business!
“When you’re a RE/MAX Platinum Services agent you can feel proud knowing you’re making a difference in your community!”
