Does Remax require franchisees to take the Complete Agent Development course during the term of the Franchise Agreement?

Although as of the Issuance Date of this disclosure document it is not required, sometime during the term of the Franchise Agreement we recommend that you take the Complete Agent Development or a comparable course.

Prior to renewal, you may be required to complete the following courses at your expense (including the cost of the course and all travel, meal, lodging, and entertainment expenses): (i) Complete Agent Development, Recruiting 101, or such other program that we may designate; (ii) re-take the Initial Education Program; and/or (iii) take such other course(s) as we may deem necessary. In some instances, REMAX, LLC may require additional education during the term of the Franchise Agreement or even after renewal. Alternatively, REMAX, LLC may accept evidence that you have satisfied requirements equivalent to such courses or education. (Franchise Agreement - Subsections 2.E. and 8.G.) These educational programs are offered periodically through the year. Broker 101, Recruiting 101, and Complete Agent Development were developed to help you adapt to the increasingly complex real estate industry. As of the Issuance Date of this disclosure document, the cost to attend the Complete Agent Development program ranges from $0 to $2,000, Recruiting 101 is $599, and the Initial Education Program is free of charge. You will also be responsible for all travel, meal, lodging, and entertainment expenses you or anyone else from the Office incurs while attending these courses. (Franchise Agreement - Subsections 2.E. and 8.G.) (See Item 6 above.)
