RE/MAX vs. rehava.com – A Big Corporate Guy Picking on a Small Guy
After two days of voting on charleston.net, overwhelming 11901 votes or 98% of votes say that rehava’s logo is NOT similar to RE/MAX’s one. Earlier this week, RE/MAX decided to go after rehava.com for its logo, claiming that rehava’s logo is too similar to its own. Judging from the response to RE/MAX’s notice of opposition, the company didn’t think about its image when filing the notice. At least in the Charleston community, RE/MAX will be remembered for some time as a corporate bully. rehava offers 50% of their commission back to buyers at closing and Steve deGuzman of rehava suspects that his revolutionary business model may be the main reason for RE/MAX’s opposition to rehava’s trademark.

Re/max has a long history of bullying the little guy, even their own agents.
