FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Oct. 20, 2025 — REMAX Associates today announced the appointment of Rob Ockey as Principal Broker for REMAX Associates in Utah. The move reflects the company’s continued growth and its commitment to delivering a higher level of support and service for agents and clients across the region.

“We are excited to welcome Rob to our leadership team,” said Ron Snow, President of Gold Capital Partners and REMAX Associates. “This is not a bet. Between Matt Barton and me, we have 14 years of experience working alongside Rob. We know exactly what he brings to the table: experience, leadership, integrity, and a rock-solid work ethic. Those are the non-negotiables for being part of our team.”

Ockey is a seasoned brokerage leader who has served as Principal Broker for Century 21 Everest, and most recently Branch Broker for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in Salt Lake City.

A certified continuing-education instructor, Ockey is known for making complex topics simple and actionable for agents.

“Rob and I had the opportunity to work together, with me as Principal Broker and Rob as one of the Founders and Owners of Century 21 Everest. Here’s what I know: Rob has the genetic defect as I like to call it – which is, he’s a believer! He believes in our industry, He believes in his people and he believes in doing business the right way! He’s absolutely the right guy to lead us in Utah going forward” said Matt Barton, Regional Broker, REMAX Associates.

Ockey said his decision to join REMAX Associates was driven by alignment with the company’s Gold Capital Partners (GCP) model and long-term vision. “I joined because the GCP model is about tomorrow. I believe in the vision, the growth ahead, and the opportunity for ownership and the ownership mentality that comes with it. I didn’t want to miss it.”
