Operation RE/MAX

Posted: 6/21/2008 Operation RE/MAX is an employment recruitment program, targeting military spouses, retirees, injured veterans and other ex-military personnel. Volunteer RE/MAX brokers agree to attend on-base job fairs, sponsor informative "recruiting events," provide personal mentoring and schedule training as needed. All of these activities are provided at no cost to military participants. The RE/MAX broker also provides information on possible employment in the real estate industry, to assist program participants in deciding upon a career path. If interested in pursuing a real estate license, the broker can also provide detailed information on local licensing requirements. In many cases, classroom instruction for obtaining a real estate license can be paid for by GI Bill benefits or with new CAA funds. More info:  Brochure
