Dave and Gail Liniger
Dave Liniger was born in Marian, IN, in 1945. He attended the University of Indiana, joined the United States Air Force, and served overseas. His interest in real estate began before he was shipped overseas; he had saved enough money from his three part-time jobs to buy a house at a meager price, fix it up, and sell it for a $4,000 profit. After working for a 100 percent commission company and a traditional brokerage, he co-founded RE/MAX International, Inc. in Denver.
Liniger is nationally recognized as an expert in time management, sales training, recruiting, and motivation. He has been featured in Entrepreneur, Forbes, Fortune, Inc., Success, and other leading publications. He is a recipient of the Special Achievement Award from the Council of Residential Specialists (CRS), the largest not-for-profit affiliate of the National Association of Realtors, and The Warren Bennis Award for Leadership Excellence from the Global Institute for Leadership Development.
Gail Liniger was born in St. Louis, MO, in 1945 and graduated with a Marketing degree from the University of Southern Illinois. Gail moved to Denver in 1971 and was the first employee to join RE/MAX; that same year, she was promoted to Vice President. She became Executive Vice President in 1978 and was elected President in 1979. Dave and Gail were not married until 11 years after the company was founded.
Along with the Linigers' passion for real estate, their love of golf prompted them to transform their 222-acre ranch, originally intended to house about 100 Arabian horses, into a magnificent 18-hole golf club, designed by Jim Engh and named Sanctuary.
The Linigers also co-founded The Wildlife Experience, a 100,000-square-foot facility in Denver which serves as a conservation and community center promoting understanding of the natural world and its conservation through art and education.
