What triggers the Unreported Agent Payments fee for a Remax franchisee?

According to Remax's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Unreported Agent fee is triggered when a franchisee fails to report Sales Associates affiliated with their office. This fee, along with associated payments, is incurred if Sales Associates are not properly reported to Remax.

The Unreported Agent fee is $1,000, in addition to all Monthly Ongoing Fees, Annual Dues, and Marketing Fund fees. These additional fees are calculated retroactively, starting from the earliest date Remax determines that the individual was either licensed with the franchisee's office or was an Unreported Agent as defined in the Franchise Agreement. This means the franchisee is responsible for all applicable fees as if the agent had been properly reported from the beginning of their affiliation.

This policy ensures that Remax receives the correct fees and dues associated with each Sales Associate operating under a franchise. It also incentivizes franchisees to maintain accurate and up-to-date records of their Sales Associates. The financial impact of failing to report agents can be significant, as it includes not only the initial fee but also the accumulated ongoing fees, dues, and marketing fund contributions that would have been due had the agent been properly reported.
