Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from ERA Real Estate's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

Get introduced to ERA Real Estate

We pass your details to their franchise development team so they can contact you directly. We are not a broker, we are not paid per introduction, and your details are never sold to a lead network.

Where you'd want to open — territory availability is the first thing they'll check.

We record the time and IP of the request — privacy policy.

What it really costs

Every cost figure this brand's filing discloses — not just the headline range

ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee——
Total initial investment——

Item 7 reports a total range, not a full line-item breakdown, in this brand's filing excerpt — the franchise fee is the only cost we can show separately today.

Earnings disclosure

Does the franchisor share performance data? No

This brand's filing does not include an Item 19 financial performance representation. That's common — a large share of franchisors disclose nothing here — but it means you should ask for unit-level economics directly during discovery calls. Compare against real estate brands that do disclose one.

Legal history

CLEAR
No bankruptcy disclosures for the franchisor or its officers.
NOT EXCLUSIVE
Item 12 does not grant an exclusive territory.
NOT DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

Tell me when ERA Real Estate files something new

Franchisors refile every year, and fees, investment ranges and closure counts move between filings. We'll email you when this brand's figures change — nothing else, and never a sales sequence.

Fee changes, closure-rate movers, and one honest brand teardown. One email a week. We never sell your address — see how we make money.

Common questions

Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.

What royalty does ERA Real Estate charge?

ERA Real Estate charges a continuing royalty of 6% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.

Does ERA Real Estate give a protected territory?

No. ERA Real Estate's Item 12 does not grant an exclusive or protected territory, which means the franchisor may place another outlet nearby.

Facts on this page are sourced from a third-party archive's copy of ERA Real Estate's Franchise Disclosure Document, not filed with us directly — treat figures here as one step further from the original filing.

Item 7 disclosed as two separate ranges rather than one clean figure: conversion office $27,350-$247,750; start-up office $108,850-$435,050. Item 12 preview text states the franchisor and other franchisees can compete with you (no exclusive territory guaranteed), consistent with sibling brand Century 21 (same parent, Anywhere Real Estate). Litigation, bankruptcy, non-compete, Item 19 and Item 20 could not be confirmed from the free preview/summary pages within the two-attempt limit.
