What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Holdover Fee is $2,500 per month per office and is due upon receipt of invoice. This fee is payable to RE/MAX Regional.
A "holdover" situation typically arises when a franchisee continues to operate under the Remax brand or using Remax's intellectual property after the franchise agreement has expired or been terminated, without a formal renewal or extension in place. This fee serves as compensation to Remax for the unauthorized continued use of its brand and systems.
Prospective franchisees should be aware of the conditions that trigger this fee and ensure they understand the proper procedures for renewing or terminating their franchise agreement to avoid incurring this charge. It is important to maintain open communication with Remax regarding the status of the franchise agreement to prevent any unintentional holdover situations.
