We’re proud to announce that our founder & CEO James Wong has been named to Inman’s 2026 Future Leaders in Real Estate 🏆
What started at 20 years old with a borrowed laptop has grown into a platform serving 250+ enterprise brands and 400,000+ sales professionals across real estate and mortgage — built profitably, without outside funding, for 13 consecutive years.
This recognition caps an incredible year for James and the entire MAXA team — HousingWire Tech Trendsetter, Inman Innovator Award Finalist, Top Tech for Brokerages in three categories, and a landmark partnership with REAL Brokerage.
This is a team win. Thank you to every client, partner, and member of the MAXA family who has been part of this journey. 🙌

Our founder and CEO @james.maxa has been named to @housingwire 2026 Rising Stars.
James started MAXA at 20. He’s 33 now. In the years between, he built a team of 100 people, earned zero negative reviews from 250+ enterprise clients, and grew the company for 13 consecutive years without taking outside funding.
This past year alone: the MAXA x Real platform launched for REAL Brokerage’s 30,000+ agents, MAXA was named a Top Tech for Brokerages by Inman and T3 Sixty in three categories, and the Exhibit Awards expanded with HousingWire as the official media partner.
He still hires every person on this team personally. Six founding members just celebrated 10 years.
Congratulations, James. We’re proud to build with you.

Scaling marketing in a highly regulated industry isn’t easy.
For @leaderonefinancial_corp , reactive workflows, slow turnaround times, and compliance risk were constant challenges.
By implementing MAXA as their centralized marketing and design platform, they transformed how marketing operates across their national organization.
The result:
🚀 Dramatic time savings
🎯 Stronger brand consistency
⚡ Faster onboarding and asset delivery
✅ Confident compliance
They even executed a full national rebrand in months instead of years.
With AMP Market Stats, your neighborhood marketing stays current without the extra work. Add your neighborhoods, turn on Auto-Pilot, and AMP will automatically generate fresh, share-ready market stat packages every month—fully customizable and always up to date.

First Team Real Estate was scaling fast across multiple states in the nation, but its legacy marketing system slowed agents and overloaded marketing.
Agents needed modern designs and speed; marketing needed scale without constant manual production. First Team partnered with Maxa (built for real estate marketing) to rebuild its template library, automate key workflows, and enable agent self-serve.
Together they launched 500+ custom templates, streamlined workflows, and rolled out automated listing-based marketing packages.
Results were immediate: They went from 20% to 70%+ adoption in the first month, stronger satisfaction, and a marketing team able to focus on strategy instead of daily production.
