Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a real estate franchise cost?

Real estate brokerage and property-management franchises are often lower-overhead than storefront concepts, with many opening for well under $200K, though a full brokerage with office space and agents runs higher. Each FDD's Item 7 provides the exact real estate franchise cost and investment range.

What are the top real estate franchises?

Residential and commercial brokerage brands and property-management franchises compete on very different fee models. Rank them in the table above by real estate franchise cost, split-versus-desk-fee structure, and Item 19 revenue rather than by office count alone.

How do real estate franchise fees work?

Real estate franchises often use a mix of franchise fees, royalty or desk fees, and technology or marketing charges rather than a simple percentage royalty. Item 6 of each FDD details every ongoing fee, and Item 7 covers the up-front investment.
