RE/MAX of Texas and MyBizOffice Launch Agent-Focused Group Benefits and Financial Management Solution
HOUSTON, Tex. and HERNDON, Va - November 30, 2005 - RE/MAX® of Texas, the leading Texas real estate brokerage, has teamed with MyBizOffice® to eliminate a long-standing problem within the real estate community: how to provide Fortune 500-caliber group benefits and financial management services to independent agents. MBO, the nation's leading provider of business support solutions for independent contractors, has developed a comprehensive, RE/MAX-customized program of insurance, retirement, tax administration, and expense processing solutions designed to increase agents' security, reduce their paperwork, and give them more time to list, show, and sell properties. RE/MAX of Texas management views the MyBizOffice program as a groundbreaking development in supporting its growing agent population. "Finding reliable ways to promote our agents' success and security is a crucial way RE/MAX of Texas sets itself apart from the rest of the real estate community," said RE/MAX of Texas CEO Richard J. Filip. "MyBizOffice offers its affordable group insurance plans through Aetna®, a national powerhouse, and extends the proven financial expertise of Fidelity Investments® and Merrill Lynch® to give agents a secure foundation for growing their business and building wealth." Next week, broker/owners throughout Texas will begin hosting informational briefings to educate RE/MAX of Texas's 5,500+ agents about the merits of the MyBizOffice program. "MyBizOffice's services also help agents increase their income," said MyBizOffice President Gene Zaino. "We remove tedious and distracting administrative chores, such as quarterly tax estimates, so agents have more time to serve clients. Agents will also enjoy a significantly reduced IRS audit risk and a streamlined expense reimbursement program through which agents can realize the tax benefit of their business expenses almost immediately. With MBO, agents can be in business for themselves, but not by themselves-which dramatically improves their bottom line." About RE/MAX of Texas About MyBizOffice, Inc.
