COLDWELL BANKER REAL ESTATE requires a total initial investment of $33K to $503K (midpoint approximately $268K), with an initial franchise fee of $25K. The ongoing fee burden is 6% . This is below the industry average of approximately 28.4%, leaving more margin for the operator.
COLDWELL BANKER REAL ESTATE does not publicly disclose Item 19 financial performance data in their FDD. This is a significant transparency gap — franchisees must rely on validation calls and personal research rather than audited financial representations. Prospective buyers should demand current unit-level financials from existing operators during due diligence.
COLDWELL BANKER REAL ESTATE operates approximately 1,351 franchised units. However, the brand has been contracting with a 6.5% net unit decline, which may signal franchisee dissatisfaction, territory saturation, or competitive pressure.
Prospective franchisees should verify all figures against the most recent FDD, conduct validation calls with multiple existing franchisees, and consult with a franchise attorney before signing any agreement.
