New to the Business?
Our Quick Launch program is designed specifically for newly licensed agents, so you can focus on building your business — not worrying about overhead.
Starting a career in real estate is exciting — but the financial reality can be daunting. Between licensing costs, association dues, and brokerage fees, many new agents feel the pressure before they've even closed their first deal.
Quick Launch changes that. For a full year, we offset your monthly costs, cover franchise and royalty fees, and provide your signs, business cards, name frames, and a newspaper announcement — all included. You start on a conventional split, then progress to 90/10 as you build momentum.
Most importantly, you're assigned a dedicated mentor — an experienced agent who receives a stipend from the brokerage to invest time in your success. That's not lip service; it's a financial commitment we make to your development.

Your Workspace
Walk into most real estate offices and you'll find a nice reception area up front — and a bullpen of cubicles in the back. Not here. At RE/MAX Garden City, every agent gets their own private, sound-insulated office with a full furniture package. Your clients are invited to YOUR office.
Your own private office with double pedestal desk, credenza, bookcase, quality agent chair, and client chairs.
Dedicated team offices with attached secretarial suites for agent teams.
Small conference rooms (closing rooms) and larger boardrooms available for meetings and closings.
Full wireless connectivity for presentations, training sessions, and day-to-day work.
On-site cafe — a comfortable space to recharge, connect with colleagues, and grab a coffee.
Adjacent to our training centre, our retro diner is the heart of the office — perfect for lunch, impromptu meetings, celebrations, or just catching up with colleagues.
You're Not on Your Own
At RE/MAX Garden City, our motto is “you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself.” Our full-time support staff treats agent service as job number one — from preparing an offer on the fly to helping you navigate FINTRAC compliance.

More Than a Workplace
Our agents don't just work together — they genuinely enjoy each other's company. From our annual Awards Gala to spontaneous get-togethers at the diner, the culture here is something you have to experience to understand.
Celebrating the year’s achievements in style
Our annual summer tradition
End-of-summer gathering for the whole team
Our most anticipated event of the year
A dedicated room where agents’ clients’ children can pick out a toy — because here, families matter
Agents sharing strategies, scripts, and solutions together
“Pretty well every real estate company can provide you with a business card, a sign, and a phone. Here at RE/MAX Garden City, we strive to make it feel like you're coming home.”
Transparent Compensation
We believe compensation should match where you are in your career. That's why we offer three distinct programs — and we'll walk you through each one privately to find the right fit.
For New Licensees
A full-year program with monthly cost offsets, covered franchise fees, and a conventional-to-90/10 split progression. Designed to get your career started without the financial stress.
For Established Producers
A monthly operational fee, 90/10 split, and once you reach the cap — 100% commission with only a modest per-transaction processing fee. Built for agents who are tired of paying endlessly.
Flexible Alternative
A conventional split model with negotiated rates based on your production history. Replaces the monthly desk fee for agents who prefer this structure.
Commissions are paid twice a week. When we receive the commission, you get paid that morning — by cheque or e-transfer. You work hard for that commission, and we don't believe in making you wait.
Let's Talk
Whether you're ready to make a move or just exploring your options, we'd love to hear from you. No pressure, no obligation — just an honest conversation about your career.

No, newly licensed agents are absolutely welcome. Our “From the Ground Up” program is specifically designed for agents who are new to the business, providing foundational training, mentorship, and a clear path to building a successful practice.
Yes. Unlike many brokerages that offer cubicles or shared hot-desks, RE/MAX Garden City provides private offices fully furnished with a double pedestal desk, credenza, bookcase, quality agent chair, and client chairs.
We offer a comprehensive suite of training programs including SUCCEED (our proprietary development program), Buffini & Company’s Peak Producers coaching, From the Ground Up for new agents, The Money Machine investment seminar, Blueprint for Success business planning, and personalized one-on-one coaching with management.
Yes, absolutely. All inquiries and conversations are kept strictly confidential. We understand the sensitivity involved in exploring a move, and your privacy is fully respected throughout the process.

Absolutely. We have dedicated team offices with attached secretarial suites designed specifically for agent teams. We’ll work with you to ensure the transition is seamless for everyone involved.
Once a month, we publish a branded electronic newsletter that goes out to your entire database automatically, at no cost to you. It’s professionally designed, keeps you top-of-mind with your contacts, and requires zero effort on your part.
We have a full-time social media director who can help with content ideas, filming, video editing, music, posting — all at no charge. Whether you need a quick property video or a full brand campaign, our team has you covered.
