Does Christies International Real Estate have an Approved Vendor Portfolio?

According to the 2025 Christies International Real Estate Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand does maintain an Approved Vendor Portfolio. This portfolio is referenced within the table of contents of the Operations Manual. The manual also mentions 'Suppliers and Vendors Not Participating in Approved Vendor Portfolio'.

Having an approved vendor portfolio means that Christies International Real Estate has vetted and approved certain vendors for franchisees to use. This can be beneficial for franchisees as it saves them time and effort in researching and selecting vendors themselves. It also helps ensure that franchisees are using vendors that meet Christies International Real Estate's standards.

The existence of suppliers and vendors not participating in the approved vendor portfolio suggests that franchisees may have the option to use vendors outside of the approved list, but it may come with additional requirements to ensure compliance with brand standards. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the criteria for vendor approval and the process for using non-approved vendors.
