By Atlas Watchline Staff · Corporate · August 14, 2026

Shareholders and other securityholders of Real Brokerage and RE/MAX Holdings approved Real’s proposed acquisition of RE/MAX Holdings at special meetings on Aug. 14, 2026.

Securityholders of Real Brokerage Inc. and RE/MAX Holdings approved Real’s proposed acquisition of RE/MAX Holdings at special meetings on Aug. 14, 2026, moving the deal closer to a combination that would form Real REMAX Group.

The companies said the transaction still depends on remaining closing conditions, including a final order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

According to the companies’ release, about 99.0% of votes cast by Real shareholders supported the arrangement. The release also said 98.9% of votes cast by Real shareholders, optionholders and restricted share unit holders voting together as a single class were in favor, and holders of about 78.8% of the voting power of RE/MAX Holdings common stock approved the acquisition.

Real described itself as a technology-powered real estate brokerage with more than 36,000 agents in all 50 U.S. states and Canada. RE/MAX Holdings said RE/MAX has more than 145,000 agents in nearly 8,500 offices and operates in more than 120 countries and territories.

The companies said the combined business would support more than 180,000 real estate professionals across more than 120 countries and territories. They also said it would have about $2.3 billion in pro forma 2025 revenue and $157 million in adjusted EBITDA before synergies.

Tamir Poleg, chairman and chief executive officer of Real, said the shareholder support reflects confidence in the companies’ vision for a more connected real estate ecosystem. He said the combined company would have more scale, talent and resources to invest more, build faster and create greater value.

Erik Carlson, chief executive officer of RE/MAX Holdings, said the vote is an important milestone for REMAX franchise owners and the broader network. He said the combination could strengthen value for broker/owners and agents while preserving the company’s entrepreneurial culture, local leadership and REMAX brand.

The release said the parties expect the transaction to close shortly after the remaining conditions are met, and they expect that to happen in the next couple of weeks. It also said vote details will be filed in Real’s Form 6-K, RE/MAX Holdings’ Form 8-K and Real’s report of voting results on SEDAR+.
