RE/MAX FDD (Franchise Disclosure Document) — 2026
The FDD is the 23-item legal disclosure every U.S. franchisor must hand you at least 14 days before you sign or pay anything (FTC Franchise Rule, 16 CFR 436). RE/MAX's most recent FDD tracked here was filed in 2026 as a multistate filing — and because registration-state filings are public records, you can read it free, without giving a broker your phone number.

A broker is paid by the franchisor to place you. An independent CPA is paid by you — and the job is pressure-testing RE/MAX's numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
