What This Means (2025 FDD)
I am unable to provide information on the mediums through which a Christies International Real Estate franchisee is prohibited from advertising commission rates, according to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. While the document includes information on advertising and promotions, including the right of Christies International Real Estate to implement an Advertising Fund and the franchisee's obligation to adhere to the Operations Manual and Brand Guidelines for all advertising materials, it does not specifically address restrictions on advertising commission rates.
Item 7.2 discusses local advertising and promotions, stating that all advertising and promotions must conform with the Operations Manual, including the Brand Guidelines. It also mentions that Christies International Real Estate may require franchisees to use their advertising templates or materials. Additionally, Christies International Real Estate has the right to require franchisees to remove any marketing materials or advertising that do not comply with the Operations Manual, Brand Guidelines, or any laws.
A prospective franchisee should inquire directly with Christies International Real Estate about specific guidelines or restrictions on advertising commission rates to ensure compliance and avoid potential conflicts.
