You may apply to open one or more additional offices within your designated Territory (an "Additional Office") by submitting a request to Counselor describing the location of such proposed Additional Office as well as any additional information Counselor may require or request, along with a one-time fee of $750 for each Additional Office location (the "Additional Office Application Materials"). After Counselor's receipt of such Additional Office Application Materials (including the one-time fee), Counselor will have 30 days to review the Additional Office Application Materials and proposed Additional Office location and notify you whether or not Counselor consents to your opening of such Additional Office location. Any Additional Office we consent to must comply with all requirements of the Franchise Agreement and then-current System standards.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee wants to open an Additional Office within their designated territory, they must first submit a request to Counselor Realty. This request must describe the location of the proposed Additional Office and include any other information Counselor Realty requires. A one-time fee of $750 for each Additional Office location must also be submitted along with the request, referred to as the "Additional Office Application Materials."
After Counselor Realty receives the Additional Office Application Materials and the fee, they have 30 days to review the application and the proposed location. Following this review, Counselor Realty will notify the franchisee whether or not they consent to the opening of the Additional Office location.
Importantly, any Additional Office that Counselor Realty consents to must comply with all requirements outlined in the Franchise Agreement and adhere to the then-current System standards. Additionally, any sales agents operating out of the Additional Office will be counted as part of the total number of sales agents operating from the franchisee's primary Office for the purposes of Section 1.3(a) of the Franchise Agreement.
