What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Corcoran Franchise Disclosure Document, instructors, including outside consultants, must generally have at least one year of experience in the real estate industry or a related field. If the instructor is not an outside consultant, they need a minimum of six months of experience working directly with Corcoran or its related parties.
This requirement ensures that instructors have a foundational understanding of the real estate market or the specific area they are teaching. The additional stipulation for non-consultant instructors to have worked with Corcoran for at least six months suggests a focus on delivering training that aligns with the brand's specific methodologies and standards.
However, Corcoran retains the right to change instructors and course content, giving them flexibility in adapting their training programs. This flexibility allows Corcoran to bring in specialized experts or adjust the curriculum as needed to address emerging trends or changes in the real estate industry. Prospective franchisees should be aware that while minimum experience levels are set, the specific instructors and content may vary over time.
