What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Counselor Realty does provide initial and supplemental training for franchisees and their key personnel at a "Counselor" office or another location designated by Counselor Realty. The training is scheduled at a mutually convenient time.
However, this training comes at a cost. Counselor Realty charges a fee of $175 per trainer per hour for the training, including the initial training. This means that franchisees will need to budget not only for the hourly training fee but also for the travel, living, and incidental expenses incurred by both the franchisee/employees and the Counselor Realty trainers in connection with the training.
It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in these training costs when evaluating the overall investment required to start and operate a Counselor Realty franchise. Understanding the scope and duration of the training programs, as well as the associated expenses, will help franchisees make informed financial decisions and plan accordingly.
