From where must the franchise granted under the Christies International Real Estate License Agreement be used?

According to Christies International Real Estate's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise granted under the License Agreement is personal and must be operated from the Main Office and any Additional Offices authorized by Christies International Real Estate. However, franchisees have the right to offer and sell real estate brokerage services identified by the Marks through other channels of distribution, including the Internet, subject to restrictions in the License Agreement, Operations Manual, and Christies International Real Estate's policies.

If Christies International Real Estate grants a Protected Territory, the Main Office and any Additional Offices must be located within that Protected Territory. Christies International Real Estate must approve the physical address of the Main Office in writing before operations can begin, and franchisees must provide prior written notification before entering any binding agreement to lease, purchase, or occupy an Additional Office. Christies International Real Estate reserves the right to reject the location of any anticipated Additional Office.

Christies International Real Estate considers several factors when reviewing the initial proposed site for the Main Office or Additional Offices, as well as any relocation requests. These factors include residential population, income levels, demographics, competition, visibility, proximity to other Christies International Real Estate offices, accessibility, traffic, size, condition and character, parking, and available signage. Franchisees may not relocate their Main Office or Additional Office without prior written consent from Christies International Real Estate.
