Professional Realty, RE/MAX Equity Merge

RISMEDIA, Sept. 18 — On Sept. 12, The Professional Realty Group of Bend, Oregon merged with RE/MAX Equity Group, Inc. of Portland, Oregon.

The 50 former Professional Realty Group agents will continue to serve clients from their current location at 300 SE Reed Market Road in Bend, but will be moving into a larger facility within the next two weeks to accommodate anticipated growth.

Former owners Helen and Scott Halligan will continue to lead the office, which brings RE/MAX Equity Group’s total number of locations to 19 and total number of agents to nearly 1,000.

“Bend was always a clear choice for expanding our services,” says RE/MAX Equity Group President Jim Homolka. “Bend is the fastest growing market in Oregon and our referrals to the area have increased steadily. Merging with The Professional Realty Group is a great opportunity to come into the market with an established presence and an outstanding group of agents. They know the people and the market and already have a reputation for integrity and professionalism, values for which RE/MAX Equity Group is also known.”

“The high ethical standards and premier market leadership of RE/MAX Equity Group are a perfect match for our agents and our clients,” says Helen Halligan. “And now we have the technology and marketing resources of RE/MAX Equity Group along with the world-wide name recognition and reach of RE/MAX to add to our in depth knowledge of the local market.” Scott Halligan added, “We are very excited about the synergy of this merger and the results it will produce for our agents and our clients.”

RE/MAX Equity Group has 14 Portland Metro area offices, three Vancouver, Washington offices and most recently a Salem, Oregon branch that opened in July 2002.

With nearly 1,000 agents in 19 locations, RE/MAX Equity Group, Inc. is now in its sixth consecutive year as the number one real estate broker in Oregon.
