What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an 'Additional Office' refers to another office location a franchisee may open within their designated territory. To open an Additional Office, a Counselor Realty franchisee must submit a request to the company, including the proposed location and any other required information, along with a one-time fee of $750 for each location. Counselor Realty then has 30 days to review the application and notify the franchisee of their decision.
Any Additional Office that Counselor Realty consents to must comply with all requirements of the Franchise Agreement and the company's current system standards. This ensures that all locations operate under the same guidelines and maintain the brand's consistency.
It's important to note that opening an Additional Office requires Counselor Realty's written consent, and the franchisee must pay the $750 application fee for each proposed location. This process allows Counselor Realty to maintain control over its brand and ensure that any new locations meet its standards. Additionally, the franchisee will be responsible for website fees for any Additional Offices.
