What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Regional Development Fees are payable by the franchisee to Exit at the finalization of the Transaction Side. These fees are then deducted from the Sales Representative's portion of the commission.
Each Transaction Side is generally subject to a Regional Development Fee of $35. However, if a commission transaction generates a gross commission of $2,500 or less, it will not be subject to this fee. For commissions paid in installments, the Regional Development Fees are calculated for each installment separately, using the same formula as for all transactions.
For referral commissions between Exit offices, the Regional Development Fees are split in direct proportion to the percentage of commission earned. For example, if an office receives 25% of the side commission, they pay 25% of the Regional Development Fee. All commissions are entered into MEMO and will be subject to Regional Development Fees unless the gross revenue is $2,500.00 or less.
