It took Mohamed El Ansary less than a year at RE/MAX to win the
title of Agent of the Year. El Ansary, who joined RE/MAX Almohager I in February, managed to achieve continuous sales and rise
to the top between May and December.
El Ansary, who came to RE/MAX from AMER Group, credits
RE/MAX’s fluid, high ceiling commissions’ system and the
company’s highly structured training course with catapulting him
to the top. The 29-year-old commerce graduate explains that
joining RE/MAX has turned his life around, and he’s keen to
achieve higher targets in 2016. “RE/MAX is a good starting place
for people who are thinking of becoming business owners. But
instead of starting at zero, you start a bit higher, because RE/MAX
gives you experience, knowledge and a network that you may not
find elsewhere,” he says.
We speak to El Ansary about his reasons for joining RE/MAX and
about how it has changed his life over the past year.

When did you join RE/MAX?
I joined RE/MAX Almohager I in February, but the first few months were slow for me. Then
I took the training course and effectively began working in May last year.

Where were you before RE/MAX?
Before RE/MAX, I spent 4 years in real estate sales at AMER Group. I had never worked in a
brokerage before.

What made you join RE/MAX?
It was RE/MAX’s model that appealed to me. Before I joined RE/MAX, I was looking for
something that would give me more room to work and fewer ceilings when it came to
sales. When I left AMER Group at the end of 2014, I knew that I wanted to work as
a broker. Someone had explained to me that working as a real estate broker is
better than working as a sales representative for a developer, and that you can
achieve your targets faster and make more money. I had met a broker in early
2014 that had really sold the idea to me, but I didn’t seriously consider it until the
end of 2014, and that is when I resigned.

What did you aim to achieve from this
transition from real estate sales to brokerage?
What this man said really affected me. The idea of selling to more
than one developer, and the fact that you can make more money
and have a bigger network and increase your value as an agent for
less effort appealed to me. At the same time, I was making a huge
effort at my job then, but it wasn’t always rewarding.
I spoke to a broker when I first left AMER Group, but I realized that
I would still have a lot of limitations and that, even if I brought the
