When does Remax recognize data service subscription revenue?

According to the 2025 Remax Franchise Disclosure Document, Remax recognizes data service subscription revenue when control of the products or services has transferred to the customer. This transfer may occur at a single point in time or over a period of time, depending on the specifics of the contract with the customer. This means that the timing of revenue recognition for data services can vary based on the nature of the service provided and the terms agreed upon with the customer.

For a prospective Remax franchisee, this indicates that revenue from data service subscriptions will not necessarily be recognized immediately upon signing a customer contract. Instead, the revenue recognition will be tied to the actual delivery of the service or product to the customer. This could impact the franchisee's cash flow, as revenue may be recognized gradually over the subscription period rather than upfront.

It is important for potential franchisees to understand the specific terms of Remax's data service offerings and how revenue recognition works for each type of subscription. This understanding will help in forecasting income and managing finances effectively. Franchisees should inquire about the typical contract terms for data services and how Remax determines when control of the services has transferred to the customer in different scenarios.
