What is the payment schedule for the Advertising Fee for Counselor Realty?

According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Advertising Fees are due and payable by the 20th day of each month. This applies to all offices, including any Additional Offices or Extension Offices.

For franchisees operating within the 11-county metropolitan area of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, the Advertising Fee is $60 per agent per month. This fee contributes towards the general marketing activities conducted by Counselor Realty. For offices located outside the Twin Cities area, franchisees must participate in a Regional Advertising Group and pay an Advertising Fee of $25 per agent per month to the Regional Advertising Fund.

It's important to note that Counselor Realty has the discretion to increase the Advertising Fee for offices within the Twin Cities area. For Regional Advertising Groups, the fee can be increased by a majority vote of the Regional Advertising Committee. Franchisees should be aware of these potential changes and factor them into their financial planning. Staying informed about any adjustments to these fees is crucial for maintaining accurate financial projections and managing operational costs effectively.
