Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from RE/MAX'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.

Google returns at most twenty locations for a search, so the rating is a sample of RE/MAX's outlets rather than all of them, and this one is small enough that it should be read as a single franchisee's reviews rather than the system's. Measured Sep 11, 2026.

Get introduced to RE/MAX

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

Total initial investment · Item 7$40K–$221K
$0$250K
ExpenseLowHigh
Initial franchise fee——
Total initial investment$39,500$221,000

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.

Costs more to open than 37% of real estate franchises on this site with a disclosed Item 7 range (47 compared). Computed from total investment, not a figure from the filing itself.

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 DISCLOSED
Non-compete term/radius wasn't separately quantified in the filing excerpt we have on file.

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.

How much does a RE/MAX franchise cost?

RE/MAX's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $40K–$221K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee is not a single figure: reported range $10,000-$25,000 on third-party summary page; RE/MAX is known to use a complex per-office/regional-owner fee and revenue-share model rather than one flat number, which this source does not fully capture

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

Only a third-party marketing summary page (franchisepanda.com) was accessible for free; the actual 2022 FDD PDF on FranChimp.com is credit-gated and returned no body text. Summary page states approx. 3,668 current U.S. locations and 'more than 7,000 offices worldwide' / 'more than 97,000 real estate agents in over 95 countries', but this is not a proper Item 20 outlet table by fiscal year, so item20_by_year was left empty rather than guessed. RE/MAX is known publicly (per its SEC 10-K, not an FDD source) to use a broker/region-based revenue share and monthly continuing franchise fee model rather than a simple percentage royalty, which is consistent with item6 fields being unconfirmable from a marketing summary. Item7 total investment figure ($39,500-$221,000) came only from the summary page and could not be cross-checked against the actual FDD; treat with caution - other third-party sites cited a much wider range (~$75K-$1.2M) that was not independently verified and is not used here.
