Overview
About
City2Shore franchisees operate as independent real estate agents or brokerages, generating revenue through residential/commercial property sales commissions. Franchisees leverage the brand, training, technology, and protected territory to source clients and close deals, paying the franchisor 6% of gross commissions earned. Day-to-day work involves prospecting, client management, showings, negotiations, and compliance with franchisor systems.

- 01MEDSystem contracting sharply: -12.5% YoY unit decline (11 units) suggests franchisees are failing or leaving
- 02MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure: Franchisor refuses to disclose average unit volumes or profitability — major transparency red flag
- 03HIGHGoing concern status is FALSE: Franchisor itself may have financial viability issues
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($61,450–$161,550) relative to unit count and declining trajectory creates breakeven risk
- 05MED6% royalty on gross commissions is punitive if real estate commission splits are tight; no net revenue guarantee
