What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Website Fee is due by the 20th of each month. Counselor Realty will send an invoice at the beginning of each month for the Website Fee owed for that current month.
The Website Fee is $75 for each office location, including Additional and Extension Offices. In addition to the base fee per office, there is a $25 charge for each licensed agent who chooses to have an optional agent website provided by Counselor Realty. 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).
It's important to note that Counselor Realty retains the right to increase the Website Fee during the term of the Franchise Agreement at their discretion. Franchisees should be aware of this potential for fee increases and factor it into their financial planning. Paying fees on time is crucial, as failure to do so can result in interest charges and, ultimately, termination of the Franchise Agreement.
