What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Advertising Fees are due and payable by the 20th day of each month. This applies to all offices, including any Additional Offices or Extension Offices.
For franchisees operating within the 11-county metropolitan area of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, the Advertising Fee is $60 per agent per month. For offices outside this area, franchisees must participate in a Regional Advertising Group and pay $25 per agent per month to the Regional Advertising Fund.
It is important to note that Counselor Realty has the right to increase the Advertising Fee for offices in the Twin Cities area at its discretion. For Regional Advertising Groups, the fee can be increased by a majority vote of the Regional Advertising Committee. Franchisees should factor in potential increases to these fees when budgeting.
