Collective Corporation Files: Housing Crisis & Settlements | The RE/MAX Effect
️ The Digital Collective Podcast Segment: Collective Corp. Files Episode Title: Collective Corporation Files: Housing Crisis & Settlements | The RE/MAX Effect Host: Jarika Moon By: Lunar Innovations Subscribe now Collective Corporation Files: Housing Crisis & Settlements | The RE/MAX Effect RE/MAX built an empire on a simple pitch: home ownership as the American dream, sold by agents in red white and blue balloons. But the same Denver-based company selling that dream to American families has spent decades marketing homes in illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank, listing properties in colonies like Ariel and Ma'aleh Adumim through its Israeli franchise. Human Rights Watch named RE/MAX as the sole American corporation in its landmark report on companies profiting from the occupation, and BDS has kept RE/MAX on its priority target list ever since. This episode traces the RE/MAX effect on two fronts. At home, the housing crisis has turned ownership into a luxury few can reach, with agents and franchises profiting at every rung of the ladder. Abroad, that same business model helps transfer settlers onto stolen Palestinian land, a practice the UN has called a war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention. Two housing crises, one corporate name attached to both. We're following the money, the listings, and the decades of pressure campaigns that RE/MAX has weathered without changing course.
