Real Estate Franchise Opportunities

Real estate franchises are among the lowest-overhead concepts in franchising: most brokerage brands need an office, licensed agents, and little else, which keeps the entry investment well below what most retail or food concepts require. The brands here span national brokerage networks and home-buying concepts. Alongside every brand we show you what each figure is attached to: the investment range, U.S. office count, filing years, and whether the brand discloses an Item 19 financial performance representation. Where a brand has filed in both 2025 and 2026, you can see exactly what changed, and an unlocked Workspace lets you read a figure next to the page of the FDD it comes from.
