What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay a monthly Website Fee. This fee is $75 for each office location, including any Additional Offices and Extension Offices. In addition to the base fee per location, Counselor Realty also charges $25 for each licensed agent who chooses to have an optional agent website provided by the company.
For example, if a Counselor Realty franchisee has 10 agents who elect to have the optional agent website, the total Website Fee would be $325, calculated as the $75 base fee plus $25 multiplied by the 10 agents. The FDD specifies that the monthly Website Fee applies to agents operating out of Additional Office or Extension Office locations who have chosen to have an optional agent website.
Counselor Realty retains the right to increase the Website Fee during the term of the Franchise Agreement at its sole discretion. Franchisees will receive a monthly invoice for the Website Fee, which must be paid by the 20th day of the month. This fee structure is typical in the real estate franchise industry, where technology and online presence are crucial for attracting clients and supporting agents.
