RE/MAX co-founder announces retirement

RE/MAX Holdings, the parent company of Motto Mortgage, has announced that co-founder Gail Liniger has retired from the board of directors and has been named vice chair emerita.

Liniger co-founded the real estate brokerage alongside Dave Liniger in 1973 and has served as vice chair of the board since 2013. Under her leadership, RE/MAX launched the Motto Mortgage brand, which has grown to over 225 offices in 40 states.

Liniger also served as chief executive officer of RE/MAX for several years prior to its initial public offering in 2013.

“There is really no adequate way to articulate what a profound positive effect Gail Liniger has had on RE/MAX, RE/MAX Holdings, and the hundreds of thousands of professionals who have aligned with the brand through the years. Gail has been a visionary, a role model, a strategic leader, and an inspiration since the very beginning,” Roger Dow, lead independent director of RE/MAX Holdings, said in the company’s news release. “Her new title of vice chair emerita is an ongoing reminder of the core, overarching values most essential to the company and its success.”
