Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate does not offer its franchisees an exclusive territory. Franchisees may face competition not only from other franchisees but also from company-owned outlets and alternative distribution channels such as the internet, catalog sales, and telemarketing.
While franchisees must operate only from the offices specified in their agreements, they can solicit clients from any area allowed by their real estate licenses.
Although the franchise does not generally grant territorial rights, it retains the discretion to offer limited protected areas in certain situations. These protected areas are provided through written agreements and can be terminated if the franchisee fails to meet performance conditions such as annual gross revenue thresholds.
