RE/MAX Alliance Acquires RE/MAX Horizons in Broomfield, CO

BROOMFIELD – RE/MAX Alliance, the third largest RE/MAX franchise in the world, has acquired the RE/MAX Horizons franchise in Broomfield and Firestone, significantly increasing its market share in metro Denver while adding a strategic Broomfield location. A total of 56 real estate professionals with RE/MAX Horizons will now operate under the RE/MAX Alliance banner as the leading real estate company expands to nearly 1,000 agents in 23 offices.

"We have always had a great deal of respect for RE/MAX Horizons and its top-producing broker associates," said Chad Ochsner, broker/co-owner of RE/MAX Alliance. "When the opportunity to acquire RE/MAX Horizons and its vibrant Broomfield location, we knew instinctively that it was a very solid strategic move. The acquisition closed a very important gap in our expansive marketing area, giving us a key Broomfield location surrounded by other Alliance offices.

"With the Conoco-Phillips campus scheduled to commence construction on the former Storage Tech land in 2012 or 2013, our agents in Broomfield and elsewhere should enjoy a wealth of relocation opportunities," Ochsner continued. "The agents who comprised RE/MAX Horizons are true professionals who are dedicated to giving back to the community and supporting the Children's Miracle Network, so the culture is a perfect fit for RE/MAX Alliance as well."

Mike Scott, managing broker with RE/MAX Alliance in Louisville, will now manage the newly required Broomfield location while continuing management duties in Louisville. The office is located at 6343 W. 120th Avenue and can be reached by phone at 303-469-8821.
