What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Remax franchisees must have one or more exterior office signs displaying the trade name, unless prohibited by a state or local ordinance, or the landlord of the premises. These signs must comply with the most current edition of the Brand Standards Manual in effect at the time the office opens.
The estimated cost for exterior office signage ranges from $500 to $10,000. This cost is paid to third parties as incurred. The actual cost will depend on factors such as local regulations, landlord restrictions, and the specific requirements outlined in the Brand Standards Manual.
Prospective Remax franchisees should factor in the potential cost of exterior signage when planning their initial investment. They should also investigate any local ordinances or landlord restrictions that may impact their ability to install the required signage. Compliance with the Brand Standards Manual is mandatory to ensure uniformity and brand consistency across all Remax locations.
