RE/MAX Professionals has announced new ownership of the longest standing and most productive real estate brokerage in the area. Jim Fulgenzi, RE/MAX Professionals and real estate industry veteran, has assumed ownership of the brokerage from Al and Linda Young, who opened the franchise in March of 1986.
“When Al and Linda Young opened RE/MAX, they broke down barriers and opened doors for real estate agents across our community,” said Fulgenzi. “They pioneered a business model that changed the landscape of the industry, giving real estate agents the support and structure that allowed them to build their business and thrive. I am honored to have been a part of that transformation and to carry on their legacy.”
RE/MAX Professionals is the longest standing local real estate brokerage to serve the Springfield, Illinois community and the surrounding areas. Year after year, the brokerage receives national recognition for excellence and its outstanding agents who are affiliated with the company. In 2021, RE/MAX Professionals was awarded as the highest sales volume for a single office within the RE/MAX St. Louis region and was named #3 in the nation for the most transaction sides per agent.
“We opened RE/MAX with one sole purpose in mind: to give agents a platform to achieve greater success and we’re proud to have accomplished that,” said Al Young. “Linda and I thank the community for trusting our brokerage to serve you for so many years. We’ve been blessed to work with the best and the brightest agents in town and know that Jim’s leadership will only lead to greater success for RE/MAX, its agents and the community.”
An industry veteran with nearly 30 years of experience, Jim Fulgenzi is a local man, father of three girls, and a Springfield native. Jim serves on many boards and committees, all with one single objective: to advance his knowledge of his community and of the real estate industry. As owner of RE/MAX, Jim will work towards that same objective in supporting RE/MAX agents so they can provide the best service for their clients.
“The agents at RE/MAX Professionals have a proven record of providing outstanding service to their clients for decades,” Fulgenzi said. “I’m excited to build on our reputation as one of the most respected brokerages in Springfield.”
