Inman Connect Twenty years ago at the RE/MAX convention, company founder Dave Liniger arrived in a green Humvee, dressed in military fatigues and black boots. He delivered a passionate speech dubbed, “Real Estate Wars.” He was “doing battle with the dot.coms, who believe they’re entitled to part of the real estate commission.” Twelve years later, I sat on stage at the RE/MAX convention in Las Vegas with Liniger for a one-on-one interview. A small group of Palestinian protestors were marching outside, because of the real estate company’s big presence in Israel As we were getting mic’d up, Dave leaned over and discreetly adjusted a small pistol and its ankle holster underneath his pants leg. His oversized German Shepherd Max was standing front and center, right off the stage, fixed on his master.
