If I have an existing franchise relationship with Remax under an address-only location agreement, which documents am I required to sign upon renewal?
Remax Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If you have an existing franchise relationship under a franchise agreement that granted you an address-only location, you will be required to sign our current form of franchise agreement (attached as Exhibit A), as well as the "Renewal Addendum to Franchise Agreement - Address Only" (attached as Exhibit A-1). This renewal addendum creates or clarifies certain terms and conditions that apply to your relationship as a franchisee only if you are renewing an existing franchise relationship; they do not apply if you are a new purchaser of a RE/MAX franchise or if you are purchasing an existing RE/MAX franchise. If you are operating a Team Office and wish to continue operating it upon renewal of your franchise relationship, you will also be required to sign the Team Office Amendment (attached as Exhibit A-4).

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees with an existing address-only location agreement must sign specific documents upon renewal. Specifically, you are required to sign the current form of the franchise agreement, which is attached as Exhibit A.
In addition to the standard franchise agreement, you must also sign the "Renewal Addendum to Franchise Agreement - Address Only," which is attached as Exhibit A-1. This addendum is designed to create or clarify specific terms and conditions that are relevant to the renewal of an existing franchise relationship. It's important to note that these terms and conditions apply only to franchisees who are renewing their agreements and not to new purchasers of a Remax franchise or those purchasing an existing franchise.
Furthermore, if you operate a Team Office and wish to continue doing so upon renewal, you will also be required to sign the Team Office Amendment, attached as Exhibit A-4. Therefore, the documents required for renewal depend on whether you operate a standard address-only location or also have a Team Office associated with your franchise.
