What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may incur a de-identification fee. This fee is $500 per day. It is payable to RE/MAX Regional as incurred.
The de-identification fee is charged if a franchisee fails to de-identify their franchise location within 10 days of the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement. This means that after the franchise agreement ends, the franchisee has a short window to remove all Remax branding and signage from the premises.
This fee serves as a penalty for failing to remove Remax branding promptly after the franchise agreement concludes. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand this obligation and factor in the potential cost of non-compliance when considering the franchise agreement's terms.
