What are the specific circumstances under which Counselor Realty may deny a relocation request?

According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may relocate their office with prior written consent from Counselor Realty, to a suitable site within their designated territory. The replacement office must open within 120 days after the prior facility closes and must comply with the requirements outlined in the Franchise Agreement and then-current System standards.

The FDD excerpt does not explicitly state the specific circumstances under which Counselor Realty may deny a relocation request. However, it implies that consent may be withheld if the new site is not deemed suitable, if the replacement office does not open within the stipulated 120-day timeframe, or if the replacement office fails to meet the Franchise Agreement and System standards.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the potential reasons for denial, a prospective Counselor Realty franchisee should directly inquire with the franchisor about the specific criteria used to evaluate relocation requests. Understanding these criteria can help a franchisee choose a relocation site that is more likely to be approved and avoid potential conflicts or delays in the relocation process.
