United Real Estate is a U.S.-based real estate franchise that offers agents and brokers a modern, agent-centric business model. Founded in 2011, the company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and began franchising in 2013.
United Real Estate provides residential brokerage services, focusing on empowering agents with full-service support and advanced technology tools.
The franchise offers a comprehensive suite of services, including training, marketing, and technology support. Its proprietary Bullseye™ Cloud-Based Productivity Platform enables agents to manage their business efficiently.
United Real Estate's model allows agents to retain 100% of their commission, paying only a flat transaction fee, which distinguishes it from traditional brokerage firms.
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.
United Real Estate provides a structured training program to support new franchisees in launching and operating their United Broker Office effectively. Here’s a breakdown of the training provided by the franchisor:
United Real Estate does not offer exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. Franchisees are required to open their United Broker Office within an approved site in the defined territory, but the Franchise Agreement does not grant exclusivity within that area.
The franchisor retains full discretion to approve or reject proposed sites and may allow other franchisees or company-owned offices to operate nearby. Approval of a territory does not restrict the franchisor from establishing other Broker Offices, either franchised or affiliate-owned, in the same region.
There is no guarantee that a franchisee will be the only United Real Estate operation in a given market. This means franchisees could face competition from other franchisees or company-run offices under the same brand.
