What documents related to the transfer might Christies International Real Estate request?

According to the 2025 Christies International Real Estate FDD, if the company exercises its option to purchase the affiliate's business, the affiliate must deliver documents that transfer good and merchantable title to the purchased assets. These assets must be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and liabilities, transferring them to Christies International Real Estate or their designee.

In addition to the title transfer documents, Christies International Real Estate may also request other documents that they reasonably deem necessary. These additional documents would be to allow them to operate the business without interruption. This clause provides Christies International Real Estate with the flexibility to request any documentation they feel is needed to ensure a smooth transition and continued operation of the business.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that if Christies International Real Estate decides to purchase the business upon expiration or termination of the agreement, the franchisee must be prepared to provide all necessary documentation for the transfer of assets and any other documents reasonably requested by Christies International Real Estate to maintain business operations. It is important for franchisees to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of all assets and liabilities to facilitate a smooth transfer process if the occasion arises.
