RE/MAX franchise in Oregon: what the public record shows
Franchisees of RE/MAX in Oregon have taken 9 SBA loans since 1991 (average $918,111)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 14.6% is the better guide. Its latest FDD Item 20 state table reports 35 franchised outlets in Oregon (fiscal 2025) — about 0.82 per 100k residents.

Every business in RE/MAX's industry operating in Oregon — franchised and independent — from the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns (2023), against 2024 population estimates. Counter-intuitively, density is not a warning: across 198 brand-state cells in our loan data, the densest quartile charges off at 5.6% versus 18.1% in the thinnest. A crowded market is usually proven demand; an empty one is often empty for a reason.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing RE/MAX's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
