Less than a year after taking office, Amy Lessinger announced her resignation as president of the RE/MAX. The brokerage franchisor announced Lessinger’s resignation in a document filed in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday.
Lessinger has informed the company of his resignation, which will take effect on January 17, Friday. There is no documented reason for Lessinger’s departure.
According to the filing, RE/MAX is currently conducting a search for its next president. Meanwhile, Eric Carlson – the CEO of RE/MAX Holdingsparent company of the consumer company – will serve as interim president. Carlson joined RE/MAX Holdings in November 2023 after serving as president and CEO of Dish Network six years.
Lessinger was promoted to president in February 2024 following the departure of the company’s chief executive officer and president, Nick Bailey.
Prior to serving as president of RE/MAX, Lessinger served as senior vice president of regional development at RE/MAX. He joined the company in 1998 as an agent before opening a new RE/MAX Realty Affiliates branch in Reno, Nevada. Lessinger joined the corporate side in 2020 when he sold his ownership interest in the business and joined RE/MAX’s global headquarters team.
His departure comes as RE/MAX continues to struggle with a decline in the number of home agents and nine consecutive quarters of revenue from the third quarter of 2024.
By the end of 2024, Lessinger said HousingWire that RE/MAX will focus on attracting younger generations of agents by strengthening both its technical offerings and its educational opportunities.
“If we want to attract the next generation of agents coming into the industry, we have to strengthen how they come up to speed and transform their ability to find a place in the industry quickly and with great success,” Lessinger said.
“Ensuring that the education we have has proven results is what we are focusing on in 2025. We want agents who can join RE/MAX with confidence and understand that if they rely on the tools, education, technology and support, then they are in a good position to build a successful business. ”
