What page of the Counselor Realty franchise agreement discusses transfer by the franchisor?

According to the 2025 Counselor Realty Franchise Disclosure Document, the conditions for transfer by the franchisor are detailed in Section 9.4 of the franchise agreement. This section explicitly states that Counselor Realty has the right to transfer its interest in the Franchise Agreement at its own discretion.

This clause provides Counselor Realty with significant flexibility, as it can transfer the agreement to another party without needing the franchisee's approval. For a prospective franchisee, this means that the entity they initially contracted with could change during the term of the agreement.

While the clause grants Counselor Realty the right to transfer, it does not elaborate on the circumstances or conditions under which such a transfer might occur. A potential franchisee should seek clarification from Counselor Realty regarding typical scenarios that could lead to a transfer of the agreement and whether there are any limitations or protections in place for the franchisee in such an event.
