Does a Christies International Real Estate franchisee have the right to acquire additional franchises?

According to the 2025 Christies International Real Estate Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not granted the right to acquire additional franchises. The License Agreement specifies that franchisees cannot subfranchise or sublicense any rights granted to them. This means that while a franchisee can operate their own Christies International Real Estate business, they cannot independently sell franchises to others.

This restriction is typical in many franchise systems, as the franchisor usually wants to maintain control over the growth and quality of the brand. Christies International Real Estate retains the right to manage the expansion of the franchise network, ensuring consistency and adherence to brand standards.

A prospective franchisee should understand that their growth potential within the Christies International Real Estate system will depend on their own business performance and any opportunities the franchisor may offer for expansion, such as opening additional offices within a protected territory, if granted. Franchisees should discuss long-term growth plans with the franchisor to understand available options and expectations.
