RE/MAX Future grows Elmhurst brokerage after joining RE/MAX network

RE/MAX Future has expanded to more than 20 brokers in Elmhurst and Chicago’s western suburbs after owner Jack Pysz moved the longtime independent firm into the RE/MAX network. The shift is aimed at adding resources, training and brand reach while keeping the brokerage’s local focus.

Why it matters: - RE/MAX Future’s move gives the Elmhurst brokerage broader brand recognition and more tools for agent growth. - The expansion comes as the firm pushes deeper into residential sales, luxury homes, new construction, investment properties and development. - Pysz says the transition helps the brokerage compete as technology, consumer expectations and the agent business continue to change.

What happened: - RE/MAX Future grew to more than 20 real estate brokers in Elmhurst and Chicago’s western suburbs after Jack Pysz transitioned the business from an independent brokerage to the RE/MAX network. - Pysz ran the brokerage independently for about 14 years before making the change. - Pysz remains owner and managing broker and stays involved in management, agent development, training and transaction oversight. - The brokerage serves buyers, sellers, investors, builders and developers across Elmhurst and the western suburbs.
