What is the timeframe Christies International Real Estate provides for revoking approval of a supplier or item?

According to Christies International Real Estate's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company may revoke approval of any supplier or item with 30 days' prior written notice to the franchisee. Upon receiving this written notice, the franchisee must immediately stop purchasing from the disapproved supplier or purchasing the disapproved item. This policy ensures that Christies International Real Estate can maintain its brand standards and quality control across all franchise locations.

This requirement means a Christies International Real Estate franchisee needs to be prepared to switch suppliers or items on relatively short notice. This could potentially disrupt their operations and require them to find alternative sources quickly. It is important for franchisees to maintain good relationships with multiple suppliers and stay informed about potential changes in approved supplier lists.

While the FDD specifies the timeframe for revoking approval, it does not detail the reasons why Christies International Real Estate might revoke approval. A franchisee should inquire about the common reasons for supplier or item disapproval to better understand the risks and ensure compliance. Understanding these factors can help a franchisee proactively manage their supply chain and minimize potential disruptions.
