RE/MAX to stream education, training programs worldwide

RE/MAX International today announced that beginning in January 2006, select education and training programs, which previously was only available on the RE/MAX Satellite Network (RSN) via EchoStar and received by offices and in agents’ homes beamed over a broad satellite “footprint” (primarily North America), will now be available by streaming video on the organization’s extranet called RE/MAX Mainstreet.

“We have been testing this for several months with segments of our video programming and will begin this new project by offering about a half-dozen full programs,” said Mike Ryan, senior vice president of RSN. “The plan is to eventually stream virtually all RSN programs that are applicable to our international audience.”

RSN has provided “segments” of video streaming through the Mainstreet channel for several years, but will now be providing entire programs for any RE/MAX member anywhere in the world who has Internet access.

The RE/MAX franchise network is a global real estate system operating in 58 countries, with more than 5,800 independently owned offices and 113,000 member sales associates.
