RE/MAX expands to Malaysia with new regional franchise agreement

DENVER - RE/MAX announced Friday it has signed a regional franchise agreement in Malaysia, further expanding its global footprint that now spans more than 110 countries and territories. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a healthy financial position with a "GOOD" overall health score and strong liquidity metrics, as current assets exceed short-term obligations by 1.57x.

The new operation in the Southeast Asian nation will be led by Kelly Ang, a real estate entrepreneur with over two decades of industry experience. Based in Kuala Lumpur, RE/MAX Malaysia plans to build a network of Registered Estate Agents and Real Estate Negotiators across the country.

"Having worked in the real estate industry for over two decades, I’ve developed a deep understanding of market dynamics and consumer needs," said Ang. "Our experience, paired with the robust support system at RE/MAX, positions us to thrive in this exciting new chapter."

The Malaysia region has already received the 2025 International Prestige Brand Award from the Asia Excellence Entrepreneur Federation, recognizing the professionalism of its affiliates.

Shawna Gilbert, RE/MAX Senior Vice President of Global and Commercial, described Ang as "a driven, strategic professional with the expertise to establish RE/MAX Malaysia as a benchmark for real estate excellence throughout the country."

The expansion into Malaysia follows recent international growth in Côte d’Ivoire and Bahrain.
