Ask before you sign

Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
Ask for every upfront payment in writing — deposit, onboarding, equipment or stock — and which parts are refundable.
Ask exactly how your margin or commission is calculated, when it's paid, and whether the brand can change it.

Our Estimates

FranchiseChuno estimate

RE/MAX India doesn't publish these, so here is our best read of the market and how we got there. They are our estimates, not the brand's figures — use them to plan, then confirm the real numbers in writing.

Payback on a ₹23 L office at the RE/MAX average deal rate
24–36 months*
Takes RE/MAX India's own scenario (5 agents, ₹80 L deals, 1.5% commission, 25% office share, ₹5,000 desk fee, ₹50,000 monthly office cost, ₹23 L invested) but replaces its 2 deals per agent per month with the 11.9 transaction sides per agent per year the homepage quotes as the RE/MAX average. Gross commission is then about ₹14.3 L per agent a year, the office share about ₹3.6 L per agent, so five agents give about ₹17.9 L plus ₹3 L of desk fees, less 6% royalty (about ₹4.3 L), agent fees (₹0.6 L) and office costs (₹6 L): about ₹10 L a year, or roughly 28 months to recover ₹23 L before a ramp-up period. Range allows for a slower start or more agents.

Payback — RE/MAX India's claim12–18 months

Our estimate24–36 months*Claim much more optimistic

RE/MAX India's illustrative scenarios, not results: a Tier-2 office with 5 agents each closing 2 deals a month at ₹80 L and 1.5% commission earns ₹3.25 L gross and about ₹1.98 L net a month; its homepage shows ₹5 L a month for 10 agents at ₹2 L average commission. The homepage itself calls these 'illustrative projections'. The ₹1.98 L net is a single scenario, shown as both ends of the profit range.

About the Brand

Brand USP

A US-listed brokerage brand sold in India as an office franchise with a published fee, royalty and per-agent charge.

Parent CompanyRE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (US; NYSE: RMAX), brand owner. India is run by an Indian-owned master franchisee.

HeadquartersNoida, Uttar Pradesh (India HQ)

RE/MAX India offers real-estate brokerage office franchises under the RE/MAX brand, whose global owner is RE/MAX Holdings of the US. In India the brand is run by an Indian-owned master franchisee, which says it holds the master licence and is based in Noida. Franchisees run an independently owned brokerage office, recruit agents and keep a share of the commission those agents earn. Its own office search listed 32 offices on 13 Oct 2026, against a homepage claim of 52 offices in 19 cities and 14 states. The master franchisee publishes its terms: a one-time franchise fee of ₹8–15 L for a 5-year term (not refundable), a 6% royalty on the office's commission, and ₹1,000 per active agent per month. It puts the total needed to get operational at ₹13–30 L, adding ₹3–10 L for a 400–800 sq ft office and ₹2–5 L of working capital. Training is a 90-day academy it describes as NSDC-approved, plus a CRM, a marketing team and a listing platform. What to watch: the brand's payback claim is 12–18 months, but it rests on its own scenario of five agents closing two ₹80 L deals a month each. At the roughly 12 transactions per agent per year it quotes as the RE/MAX average, FranchiseChuno's estimate is about 24–36 months. The licensee entity's FY25 filing shows revenue of about ₹2.7 Cr and a loss of about ₹47 lakh. Two consumer-complaint posts (2022, 2024) allege a refused agent-recruitment refund and an unrefunded visiting charge (the latter at a Patna office described as a franchise); no brand reply is shown on those pages and the claims are unproven. The brand's own sample earnings are illustrations, so ask existing office owners for their actual commission and agent numbers before paying a fee.
