Initial franchise fees are typically $7,500 to $15,000 per franchise, as determined by the population of the franchise territory. The franchisee agrees to pay a base monthly fee covering up to five licensed agents and additional monthly fees per licensed agent above five operating from or through their office. If the franchisee is located within the 11-county metropolitan area of the Twin Cities, there is a monthly metro advertising fee per licensed agent.
