What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance. This insurance protects against claims for bodily and personal injury, death, and property damage related to the operation of the Remax office or business activities. The minimum required coverage is $2,000,000 per occurrence or claim and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. The coverage must include broad form contractual liability, broad form property damage, personal and advertising injury, premises liability, and products liability.
Remax franchisees must also secure endorsements covering each of their sales associates under the comprehensive general liability insurance policy. Alternatively, franchisees must ensure that each sales associate obtains their own comprehensive general liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate. This requirement ensures that both the franchisee and their sales associates are adequately protected against potential liabilities.
Remax also recommends that franchisees obtain and maintain media liability insurance and employment practices liability insurance, and that they consult with an insurance professional to determine the level of coverage that would be best for their office. Remax may change the minimum amount of coverage required under any policy and require different or additional kinds of insurance to reflect inflation, identification of new risks, changes in law or standards of liability, higher damage awards or other relevant changes in circumstances. If the franchisee is operating a commercial franchise, RE/MAX Regional may, in its discretion, require them to have additional insurance coverage in additional amounts.
