In “Beyond the Headlines, CRE Is Thousands of Local Stories,” REMAX Commercial® Executive Director Kristie Kimnach shares her perspective on what really moves the market: the local physician group buying a medical office building, the small business owner leasing a neighborhood storefront, and the investor picking up a corner apartment building. These are the deals that support communities, and many of them never show up in national data.
“The fabric of commercial real estate is made up of thousands of local stories.”

The story also highlights what makes the REMAX Commercial network unique:
- Local market knowledge matters. Kimnach explains that the real edge comes from granular, on-the-ground intelligence, not waiting on national benchmarks.
- Scale and variety. Last year, REMAX Commercial brokers completed more than 65,000 transactions in 76 countries, representing over $18.5 billion in sales and leasing volume, with an average transaction of about $1.2 million.
- A network built on referrals. Commercial and residential brokers often work side by side in the same office, creating a referral pipeline that commercial-only firms don’t have.
- Network success stories. The article spotlights recent assignments from REMAX Commercial affiliates in Colorado, Minnesota and Saudi Arabia.
