He then evolved RSN into the award-winning RE\/MAX University\u00ae (RU), a 24\/7, on-demand platform broadcasting in high definition to Associates around the globe.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cMike, or \u2018Ryno\u2019 as he\u2019s known at RE\/MAX Headquarters, has played a significant role in shaping the company since 1994. He\u2019s made an enormous impact on the lives of our membership, employees and friends in the industry,\u201d said RE\/MAX CEO Adam Contos. \u201cDuring his tenure, he\u2019s touched virtually every facet of the company, including education, franchise sales, marketing, communications and global expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been my honor to work alongside Co-Founders Dave and Gail Liniger and so many other influential real estate leaders and entrepreneurs,\u201d said Ryan. \u201cI\u2019ve been fortunate to be part of the premier brand in the world. I\u2019ve learned something new every step of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As Executive Vice President, Ryan currently oversees Strategic Business Alliances, Franchise Sales, Commercial, Luxury, Multimedia and Education. But his influence extends far beyond the RE\/MAX Network. During the U.S. <a href=\"lessons-learned-or-another-housing-crisis\/\">housing crisis<\/a>, Ryan worked with U.S. government officials to develop housing policies that helped distressed homeowners and saved the careers of countless agents and brokers.<\/p>\n<p>He advocated for the Certified Distressed Properties Expert (CDPE) Designation, which enabled thousands of agents to become specialists in foreclosures and short sales and helped countless homeowners during the recession.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan has served on numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Association of REALTORS\u00ae<\/a>, regulatory and real estate boards and committees.
