Realty World is a global real estate franchise that was founded in 1973 in Newport Beach, California. The company began as a residential real estate brokerage and has grown into a network offering services in residential, commercial, and luxury markets.
It is headquartered in Newport Beach, California, and has built a reputation for innovation and agent-focused support. The company began franchising in 2000, allowing independent brokers and agents to operate under the Realty World brand.
Today, it offers several flexible franchise models including options for mobile agents, boutique offices, and full-scale brokerages. Franchisees can choose a setup that fits their goals and budget, making it accessible for both individuals and teams.
The brand stands out for its low-cost entry and fast setup. Realty World allows franchisees to operate without a physical office if desired and can help them launch in as little as 15 days.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Realty World provides structured training to support new franchisees and their staff. The training is designed to ensure familiarity with the franchise's systems and operational standards, both at the launch phase and throughout the business relationship.
Realty World does not offer exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. The franchisor explicitly mentions that they are not obligated to spend any portion of the National Advertising and Promotional Fund on marketing efforts specific to the area where a franchisee operates.
This suggests that franchisees may face potential overlap or competition from other Realty World businesses or marketing activities in nearby regions. Furthermore, franchisees are expected to independently manage local advertising and promotions within their immediate business area without assurance of territorial exclusivity.
Although the franchisee must invest in local advertising and lead generation, Realty World retains discretion over national fund allocations, which might not benefit all geographic areas equally.
