Two of Hamilton-Burlington’s most prominent real estate brokerages – Re/Max Del Mar Realty and Re/Max Escarpment Realty – have merged, creating the largest realty firm in the area. The combined company, operating under the Re/Max Escarpment Realty banner, now captures over 35 per cent market share in the Hamilton-Burlington region, Re/Max says.  Plans for further strategic expansion are in place, with the goal of reaching a 50 per cent market share (representing one in every two homes sold), says the company. 

Louis Zurin founded Re/Max Del Mar as one of the original Re/Max franchises in 1980.  

“Joining forces was an effective way to unite two successful companies whose leaders share a similar vision, while simultaneously increasing our presence within the region,” says Conrad Zurini, Louis Zurini’s son and broker of record of the newly expanded brokerage.

Zurini’s father and mother, Louis and Ann, and sister, Joey, will continue with the brokerage. Tom Rendall and Ralph Schmidt will continue to guide the day-to-day operations and advise on professional and business development.

The brokerage now has a sales force of nearly 300 sales reps, working from six office locations, including Stoney Creek, East Hamilton, Central Mountain, West Hamilton, Ancaster and Burlington.
