Real Estate Franchise

Washington, D.C., Real Estate Franchise Lawyer

Despite the recent downturn in the real estate market, real estate franchises remain a thriving business. Agents and brokers can affiliate with franchises in almost any state and gain the security of a large corporation. As an experienced real estate franchise attorney, I help people interested in joining franchises such as Century 21, Remax, Coldwell Banker, and others.

Are you a broker considering a real estate franchise? Please contact me, Mario L. Herman, to schedule an initial consultation.

I help clients understand and capitalize upon their real estate franchise opportunities, including:

  • Affiliating with a realtor company such as Keller Williams or Century 21
  • Bringing a U.S. franchise overseas
  • Selling a franchise
  • Licensing a real estate franchise
  • Buying into a condominium or apartment complex
  • And more

Are You a Prospective Real Estate Franchisee?

Before buying into or affiliating yourself with a real estate franchise, there are some important issues to consider. What are your responsibilities under the franchise contract? Do you need to sign a non-compete agreement? How much freedom do you have to market your franchise? Are you required to sell so many homes or commercial properties? I help prospective franchisees answer these important questions and address any other issues that may arise during the process.

Contact an Experienced Franchise Attorney

Franchise law is a complex legal area. Thus, if you are looking to buy into a real estate franchise or resolve a dispute, you will need an experienced franchise attorney to ensure your rights and best interests are fully protected. You also need a franchise attorney to advise you of your rights and responsibilities under U.S. franchise law.

I have more than 25 years of experience in domestic and international franchise law. You can count on me to provide informative and responsive legal counsel. Contact me to schedule a consultation.
