What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees who establish a Team Office must pay certain fees. Specifically, Remax charges a $1,000 initial fee for each new Team Office. This fee is non-refundable. Additionally, franchisees pay a $100 monthly ongoing team office fee, which is due by the 10th day of the month after the Team Office opens and continues throughout the term of the agreement. Remax has the right to increase the monthly ongoing team office fee once per calendar year, but the increase cannot exceed 20% of the current fee.
For franchisees renewing a Team Office, Remax requires a $500 non-refundable renewal fee for each Team Office being renewed. This renewal fee is in addition to the monthly ongoing fee. The FDD specifies that these fees are paid to RE/MAX Regional.
It's important to note that Remax reserves the right to grant permission to establish a Team Office, considering factors such as location, population growth, market share, and overall market conditions. The Team Office operates as a branch of the main office and must comply with all terms and conditions of the franchise agreement. The Team Office concept may be discontinued at any time, which would prevent any renewals from being granted.
