The terms of the partnership will allow RE/MAX to provide consumer credit information and articles written by professional credit experts on the most visited real estate franchise web site*, remax.com.

            “Consumers have always found it difficult to understand their own credit, but in today’s market many are also finding it harder to qualify for credit, and are looking for resources to help them proactively manage their personal credit profile,” said Marnie Blanco, Vice President of eBusiness at RE/MAX International. “Remax.com is a one-stop hub of consumer resources and information on everything from preventing foreclosure and choosing a contractor, to finding an experienced agent in your neighborhood. Now, our partnership with iQual will allow us to provide consumers with a host of easy-to-read articles to help consumers become experts on their own credit health.”

            Each article featured on remax.com will link to iQual’s website where consumers can find more resources and even credit coaching options.
