Can Christies International Real Estate revoke approval of previously approved goods or services?

According to the 2025 Christies International Real Estate Franchise Disclosure Document, Christies International Real Estate has the authority to revoke previously approved goods or services. Specifically, the FDD states that Christies International Real Estate may, at its sole discretion, revoke approval of previously approved goods or services. If Christies International Real Estate revokes approval, the franchisee must immediately stop selling the revoked services or products.

This clause gives Christies International Real Estate significant control over the products and services offered under the Christies International Real Estate brand. It ensures brand consistency and allows Christies International Real Estate to adapt to market changes or quality control issues by removing offerings that no longer align with their standards or strategies.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that products or services they initially offered could be discontinued at the discretion of Christies International Real Estate. This could impact revenue streams and require franchisees to adapt their business model quickly. It is important for potential franchisees to understand the types of goods and services that are most susceptible to revocation and to discuss with Christies International Real Estate the criteria and process they use for making such decisions.
