What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Counselor Realty's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the monthly Website Fee is due on or before the 20th day of each month. Counselor Realty will send an invoice at the beginning of each month for the amount of the Website Fee owed for that month.
The Website Fee covers each office location, including any Additional Offices and Extension Offices. It also includes $25 for each licensed agent who chooses to have an optional agent website provided by Counselor Realty. For example, if a franchisee has 10 agents with optional agent websites, the Website Fee would be $325 ($75 plus $25 multiplied by 10).
It's important to note that Counselor Realty retains the right to increase the Website Fee during the term of the Franchise Agreement at its sole discretion. Franchisees should factor in potential fee increases when projecting their operating expenses. Paying fees on time is crucial, as interest will accrue on any unpaid past due amounts at a rate of the lower of 8% per year or the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law.
