What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Continuing Agent Fees are structured in tiers based on the number of licensed agents operating through the franchisee's office. The third tier of Continuing Agent Fees applies when a franchisee has 36 or more licensed agents.
For each agent in this tier, the franchisee must pay a monthly Continuing Agent Fee of $32 per licensed agent. This fee structure is designed to scale with the size of the franchisee's operation, potentially reducing the per-agent cost as the office grows.
For example, if a Counselor Realty franchisee has 50 licensed agents, the Continuing Agent Fee for the month would be calculated as follows: $53 per agent for agents 6 through 15, $37 per agent for agents 16 through 35, and $32 per agent for agents 36 through 50. This tiered system encourages franchise growth by offering a lower per-agent fee for larger offices.
