این مقاله به فارسیRead in FarsiAt the RE/MAX R4 conference in Las Vegas in March 2024, I was ranked number 47 among all RE/MAX agents worldwide for 2023, and I also received a Lifetime Achievement Award. R4 is RE/MAX's largest annual gathering, and more than 5,000 people from around the world attended the March 2024 edition.
I am Moe Asgarian, a broker with RE/MAX in Toronto, and what follows is my own account of that week and the two awards that came out of it. The rankings cover 2023 production, and they were announced in Las Vegas the following March.
What the RE/MAX R4 Conference Is
R4 is the conference RE/MAX holds in Las Vegas every year, and it is the largest annual real estate event in the world. The point of it is to bring agents and brokers together so they can trade views on the business and on where the industry is heading. As of the March 2024 conference, RE/MAX operated in more than 110 countries and territories, with hundreds of thousands of agents and realtors working under the brand.
Most of the programme is training. Every year there are workshops, analytical talks and practical sessions, all built to make agents better informed, and the stated goal behind them is simple: learn how to give clients better service. There are social events in the mix as well, which is how a company that size keeps feeling like one group of people.
Who Filled the Room in March 2024
More than 5,000 people from around the world came to R4 in March 2024. Agents arrived from Japan, Spain, Argentina, Australia, Canada and the United States. That mix is a large part of the value. You spend a week hearing how the same business runs in markets that look nothing like Toronto, and it changes what you think is normal.
RE/MAX also invites well known guests each year, and that is one of the parts I enjoy most. The special guest at the March 2024 conference was Ellen DeGeneres, the comedian and television host, who also makes significant real estate investments and is not a stranger to this world. That talk was one of the memorable pieces of the week, full of useful detail about real experience rather than slogans.
How RE/MAX Ranks Its Agents
R4 is not only speakers and classrooms. One of its most important functions is the annual review of performance. RE/MAX ranks its agents on what they achieved over the year and gives awards and medals to the people at the top. The rankings run at two levels, by country and worldwide, so an agent can place nationally and place globally in the same year.
I have been among the top RE/MAX agents in Canada for years, and I am clear about where that comes from. Clients trusted me, that trust held across a long stretch of time, and the ranking is the arithmetic of it. A ranking counts closed business, so what it really records is who put their biggest financial decision in your hands.
Number 47 Worldwide for 2023 and a Lifetime Achievement Award
For 2023 I placed 47th among all RE/MAX agents in every country where the company works, which put me inside the global top 50, and I was among the top RE/MAX agents in Canada for that year as well. Both results were announced at the March 2024 conference in Las Vegas.
The second award was a Lifetime Achievement Award, which RE/MAX gives only after an agent has built up a long record of results. Sitting in the global top 50 for 2023 as an Iranian Canadian agent is a very large honour for me, and it belongs to my team as much as it belongs to me. Nobody closes that volume of files alone.
What a Global Ranking Means for Clients in Toronto
A medal does not sell anyone's house. What a ranking does tell a seller or a buyer is how much business a broker actually closes, year after year, and that volume is where market judgement comes from. You price a house well because you have priced many houses, not because you read a report. Our approach has not changed: give the best service we know how to give, and keep earning the trust that produced the ranking in the first place.
Forty seventh in the world for 2023 raised the bar instead of settling anything. It left me with more motivation and a heavier sense of responsibility, and the target for the next R4 is higher than this one.

Stay well and take care.
