RMA Global Eyes 175,000+ US Agents as RE/MAX Deal Opens Pipeline to Revenue Scale
RMA Global outlines roadmap to scale US real estate agent subscriptions
RMA Global (ASX: RMY) has provided investors with clarity on its US market expansion playbook following the recent RE/MAX partnership announcement. The update explains how the company intends to convert brokerage agreements into individual agent subscriptions across a market roughly twice the size of Australia’s entire active agent base.
The company’s strategy centres on a two-pronged approach: securing wholesale brokerage deals first, then upselling enhanced functionality directly to individual agents within those networks. Chairman David Williams described the RE/MAX agreement and other brokerage discussions as “wholesale deals providing marketing support for each group as a whole,” with the real upside coming from offering premium services to all agents with brokerage support and encouragement.
The RE/MAX partnership alone covers 75,000 agents, approximately twice the total active agents in Australia. RMA Global has confirmed it is in active discussions with several other major US brokerage networks, most ranging between 10,000-20,000 agents. One prospect exceeds 100,000 agents, larger than the RE/MAX network itself.
The company aims to sign one or two more brokerage deals before 30 June 2026, providing near-term catalysts for investors monitoring the US expansion progress.

The brokerage-first strategy explained
RMA Global’s wholesale-then-retail model creates a structured pathway for market penetration. Under this approach, brokerage agreements provide a foundation product to the entire network, then the company upsells enhanced functionality directly to individual agents. Brokerages have aligned incentives, benefiting when their agents subscribe to premium features that strengthen the network’s overall marketing position.
The process follows three clear steps:
- Sign brokerage enterprise deal – The brokerage enters into an agreement that provides a base product to their entire business
- Launch co-marketing programme with brokerage support – RMA Global works with the brokerage on coordinated promotion of the platform’s expanded functionality, typically receiving a feed of each agent’s data
- Upsell individual agents and teams – Enhanced features are marketed directly to agents with brokerage endorsement and encouragement
This model creates a warm lead pipeline. RMA Global receives agent data feeds from brokerages and has brokerage endorsement for upselling, reducing customer acquisition friction compared to cold outreach in a new market.
The enhanced functionality is designed to position agents in front of the market and keep them top of mind as local area experts. Williams noted that the company has “previously commented to the ASX on the size of the cashflow prize if US agents sign and pay at the same rate as Australian agents,” describing this as “a very big number.”
US pipeline signals further deal flow
RE/MAX represents the first signing, not the only target. The company has confirmed active discussions with multiple brokerage networks across varying scales. Most prospects operate with 10,000-20,000 agents, whilst one under discussion exceeds 100,000 agents, surpassing RE/MAX in size.
David Williams, Chairman
“Timing on when we will sign more agreements is difficult to predict. However, I am hopeful that we will sign another one or two before 30th June.”
The pipeline signals that RMA Global’s model is resonating with US brokerages beyond the initial RE/MAX partnership. For investors, this creates clear near-term catalysts to monitor through Q4 FY26 as additional partnership announcements may materialise.
What premium subscriptions deliver to US agents
The enhanced functionality that agents pay for mirrors the product already generating revenue in Australia. Premium features are designed to position agents as local market experts and maintain top-of-mind awareness with consumers researching property transactions.
Importantly, brokerages maintain aligned incentives under these agreements. Additional product uptake by agents and teams feeds into the brokerage’s own marketing and competitive positioning, creating mutual benefits that support the upsell process.
This is not unproven technology entering a new market. It represents geographic expansion of a validated revenue model, with the Australian subscription base providing proof of concept for the value proposition being offered to US agents.
The revenue opportunity in context
The scale disparity between Australia and RMA Global’s US opportunity is material. RE/MAX alone provides access to 75,000 agents, whilst Australia’s total active agent base sits at approximately 37,500. Williams characterised the potential cashflow if US agents convert at Australian subscription rates as “a very big number.”
| Market | Agent Pool | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Australia | ~37,500 active agents | Established, paying subscribers |
| RE/MAX US | 75,000 agents | Partnership live, upsell commencing |
| Additional US pipeline | 100,000+ agents (largest prospect) | In discussions |
The addressable market in the US represents multiples of the established Australian base. Even partial conversion rates would deliver material revenue uplift compared to the company’s current subscriber footprint.

CY26 priorities and what to watch
Management has outlined clear execution priorities for the year ahead. Williams stated that the focus will centre on closing additional brokerage deals and converting individual agents and teams into paying subscribers.
David Williams, Chairman
“CY26 will be consumed with closing additional brokerage deals and then upselling individual agents and teams.”
This frames 2026 as the execution phase. The strategy is set, the initial proof point is live, and the company now moves to delivery against a pipeline of similar-scale opportunities.
For investors, the milestones to monitor are straightforward: additional brokerage partnership announcements (with management flagging potential for one or two more before 30 June 2026) and eventual disclosure of US agent subscription uptake. The update provides transparency on how the RE/MAX deal translates into revenue potential and confirms the company’s approach is repeatable across multiple US brokerage networks.
