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 month for each office location, including any Additional Offices or Extension Offices. In addition to the base fee, Counselor Realty charges $25 per month for each licensed agent who chooses to have an optional agent website.
For example, if a franchisee has 10 agents who elect to have the optional agent website, the total website fee would be $325 per month ($75 base fee plus $25 multiplied by 10 agents). This fee covers the cost of maintaining a webpage or subdomain for the franchisee's office on Counselor Realty's website, as well as optional agent websites.
The FDD states that Counselor Realty has the discretion to increase the website fee during the term of the Franchise Agreement. Franchisees are invoiced monthly for these fees, which are due by the 20th of each month. This structure allows Counselor Realty to adjust its fees based on market conditions or the cost of providing website services.
