What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, standardized supplies are part of the Remax system. However, franchisees are not required to purchase these supplies from Remax-approved sources.
Instead, Remax prescribes standards for the supplies and promotional materials that bear the Remax marks. If a franchisee chooses to obtain these items from other sources, they must ensure that the quality is at least the same as those available from Remax-approved suppliers.
All materials and supplies, including advertising, promotional items, stationery, and signage, must comply with the standards and guidelines established by Remax, as detailed in the Brand Standards Manual. Remax does not assume liability for the performance of any supplier, whether approved or not, so franchisees must take responsibility for the quality and compliance of their materials.
