What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering travel expenses associated with the required Recruiting 101 course. The cost of the Recruiting 101 course itself is $599.
In addition to the $599 fee, the franchisee must also pay for all related travel, meals, lodging, and entertainment expenses while attending the Recruiting 101 course. These out-of-pocket costs can vary significantly depending on the location of the training, the franchisee's travel preferences, and the duration of their stay.
This requirement to cover travel expenses is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as it ensures that franchisees bear the costs associated with their own training and development. Franchisees should factor in these additional expenses when budgeting for the initial investment in a Remax franchise.
