Answer from 2025 FDD Document

Franchise Agreement. The Initial Franchise Fee and the Limited Purpose Location Fee are not refundable. See Item 5.

    1. The low estimate is for providing the Engel & Völkers Engage Training to one staff member ($98) and to 3 sales advisors ($98 per person) and for providing SPT Training to one staff member ($298). The high estimate includes SPT Training for 2 staff members and in-person Engel & Völkers Engage Training for up to 50 attendees. We do not usually offer Engel & Völkers Engage Training in person, but if, upon your request we agreed to provide it in person we will charge you $4,998 for that training. We would then provide your sales advisors and/or staff members a 1 day Engel & Völkers Engage training at a location in the U.S. that we designate. The fee for the in person Engel & Völkers Engage includes the trainer's compensation, travel, accommodation and incedental expenses, the training course materials and their shipment. A minimum of 15 but no more than 50 attendees would be trained. The highest estimated amount if you use the regular, virtual Engel & Völkers Engage Training is $2,752 and is calculated on the same basis as the low estimate but for providing Engel & Völkers Engage Training to 1 additional staff member and 17 additional sales advisors (for a total of 20 sales advisors and 2 staff members) and SPT Training to 1 additional staff member (for a total of 2 staff members).
