What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Corcoran Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must purchase Internal Branding Elements for their offices. These elements include branded items like reception signage and a flat-panel monitor in the welcome area to display listings on a rotational basis, as specified in the Brand Standards.
In addition to these branded elements, a Corcoran office should also feature comfortable seating, appropriate lighting, artwork that complements the office's theme, and a coat/storage closet. These requirements ensure that each Corcoran office maintains a consistent brand image and provides a welcoming environment for clients.
Corcoran also requires that the office meets the company's Office Design and Appearance Standards, as determined by a physical inspection from an authorized representative. While the agreement assumes the offices initially meet these standards, Corcoran retains the right to request reasonable alterations, modifications, or upgrades to any office space. Franchisees must also maintain all office facilities, signs, stationery, and other items in first-class condition, adhering to the standards outlined in the P&P Manual.
