What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the monthly Website Fee does apply to Extension Office locations. Specifically, Counselor Realty franchisees must pay a monthly Website Fee of $75 for each office location, which includes both Additional Offices and Extension Offices. In addition to the base fee per location, there is an additional $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 at an Extension Office who elect to have the optional agent website, the total Website Fee for that location would be $325 ($75 plus $25 multiplied by 10). The FDD specifies that the monthly Website Fee applies to agents operating out of any Additional Office or Extension Office locations that have elected to have an optional agent website. This fee is subject to change at Counselor Realty's discretion during the term of the Franchise Agreement.
Counselor Realty sends an invoice for the Website Fee at the beginning of each month, and franchisees are required to pay the fee on or before the 20th day of that month. This ensures that franchisees with Extension Offices are responsible for the Website Fees associated with those locations, in addition to any fees for agents who opt for individual websites. Prospective franchisees should factor these ongoing costs into their financial projections when considering opening an Extension Office.
