Is the Christies International Real Estate franchisee expected to read the entire agreement before signing?

According to the 2025 Christies International Real Estate Franchise Disclosure Document, prospective franchisees are expected to read the disclosure document and all agreements carefully. The FDD indicates that the disclosure document summarizes certain provisions of the license agreement and other information in plain language.

This requirement ensures that franchisees understand the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement before entering into a binding contract. It also helps to protect both the franchisor and franchisee by ensuring that both parties are aware of their rights and obligations.

Prospective franchisees should take this requirement seriously and carefully review all documents before signing. They should also seek legal advice from an attorney experienced in franchise law to ensure that they fully understand the terms of the agreement.
