What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Counselor Realty has the right to inspect a franchisee's Business and Office, which includes any Additional Office. This inspection can occur without prior notice during normal business hours.
This means that as a Counselor Realty franchisee, you must keep your Additional Office open and accessible for inspection by Counselor Realty representatives during business hours. They do not need to provide advance notice before arriving to conduct an inspection.
This right of inspection allows Counselor Realty to ensure that all locations, including Additional Offices, are adhering to the standards and requirements outlined in the Franchise Agreement and the Counselor Realty system. It also ensures compliance with Counselor Realty's standards across all locations, maintaining brand consistency and quality control.
