Frequently Asked Questions
WHO IS RE/MAX ONE? Who is re/max gold?
RE/MAX One, founded in 1987 as Todd C. Olson Real Estate brokerage, joined the RE/MAX network in 2000 as RE/MAX Olson & Associates. In 2015, Todd Olson stepped down and Keith Myers became President and sole owner of the company. Tired of playing defense, Myers knew that companies needed to grow to continue to offer the best services to agents and thrive in the marketplace. He sought to discover the best way to help agents. In 2017, he met with RE/MAX Gold CEO, James O'Bryon. Myers had long admired RE/MAX Gold's continued growth along with unparalleled services provided to their agents throughout Northern & Central California. Over the course of the next few months, O'Bryon & Myers developed a relationship that led to a partnership and a plan to grow throughout Southern California just as Gold had done in Northern California. In 20 months, RE/MAX Olson went from 5 offices and 180 agents to 13 offices and over 400 agents in 4 counties. In 2019, RE/MAX Olson became RE/MAX One. Together, RE/MAX One & RE/MAX Gold have formed a powerful alliance of more than 2280 agents in over 107 offices, with over $11 billion in annual sales volume. They remain the #1 independently owned real estate company by transactions in CA and the #1 RE/MAX franchise in the world by volume.
