COUNSELOR

Counselor Realty is a franchise that enables franchisees to operate full-service residential and commercial real estate brokerage businesses from chosen locations within designated territories, with franchisor consent. The business model involves paying an initial franchise fee of $7,500 to $15,000 based on territory population, monthly base fees, per-agent continuing fees, advertising contributions, and various technology and training costs. It targets real estate customers seeking brokerage services for buying, selling, or leasing residential and commercial properties, primarily through licensed agents operating from franchise offices.
