eGlobalBroker.com cost structure to be a member is at the fraction of the cost of a traditional real estate franchise. From an expense perspective, over a ten-year time period, a company that generates $1 million in gross commission income (GCI), will pay out approximately $600,000 in royalties fees back to its parent company (“Franchisor”) during that time frame, reducing its profit margin and passing the cost on to its agents.  This is not taking into consideration start-up expenses, which typically is $25,000 for your initial franchise fee before conversion or other “franchise” related expenses. Alternatively, over the same ten-year period your total cost as a member at GlobalBroker.com is only $10,250 versus $845,000 for a traditional real estate franchise. This is based on our annual membership fees.   

Most franchises also require franchisees to spend $2,000 to $3,000 per month in advertising. This requirement is part of their franchise agreement, and not complying is a breach by franchisee. Basically, franchisee have to promote the franchise brand name and trademark.

Franchisers may also charge additional fees for advertising that range from a few hundred dollars to 1-2% per month. The franchiser can use these funds to pay an in-house advertising staff or pay for any advertising that promotes its brand name and trademark.
