What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Remax Franchise Disclosure Document, Remax Sales Associates are restricted from implying a working relationship between themselves, the Remax Network, or the Remax Marks and any unaffiliated licensed individuals.
Specifically, Sales Associates cannot name or identify unaffiliated licensed individuals in advertising or promotional materials that include the Sales Associate's name, photo, team name, or the name of the Remax office. This also applies to websites that mention the Sales Associate or their team, or that link to sites displaying this information. Furthermore, business cards and promotional items cannot include the names of unaffiliated licensed individuals in a way that suggests a working relationship with the Sales Associate, the Remax office, or the Remax Network.
This restriction is in place to prevent confusion about who is officially affiliated with Remax and to protect the brand's reputation. It ensures that consumers are clear about who they are working with within the Remax network and that the Remax brand is not misrepresented by associations with unaffiliated individuals.
