What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a monthly Website Fee. The base Website Fee is $75 per office location, which includes any Additional Offices and Extension Offices. In addition to the base fee, Counselor Realty also charges $25 for each licensed agent who chooses to have an optional agent website provided by the company.
For example, if a franchisee has 10 agents who elect to have the optional agent website, the total Website Fee would be $325 ($75 plus $25 multiplied by 10). The FDD specifies that Counselor Realty may increase the Website Fee during the term of the Franchise Agreement at its discretion. Franchisees will receive a monthly invoice for the Website Fee, which must be paid by the 20th day of the month.
This fee structure means that a Counselor Realty franchisee's website costs can vary significantly depending on the number of agents and the number who opt for individual agent websites. It is important to note that the monthly Website Fee will apply to agents operating out of Additional Office locations or Extension Office locations who have elected to have an optional agent website. Prospective franchisees should factor in these potential costs when evaluating the overall financial investment required to operate a Counselor Realty franchise.
