Estate agency franchises
An estate agency franchise is sold as a business with low entry costs. That is half true. Entry is cheaper than a shop, but income arrives in bursts: three deals close in March and nothing in April. Most newcomers do not fail on the fees. They fail because they cannot survive six months without a commission.
What you are buying is a name sellers already recognise, and a flow of leads. Software and training come with every network. The difference lies in whether enquiries actually reach you, how much of each commission goes upstream, and whether you get territorial exclusivity. Every profile covers both sides plainly.

Frequently asked
?How much does an estate agency franchise cost?
Entry fees across Czech, Slovak and Polish networks range from the low tens to the low hundreds of thousands of koruna, plus a monthly fee and a share of each commission. Each profile lists the range the network itself states, along with office and marketing costs that sit outside it.
?Is a franchise better than joining an independent agency?
An independent agency takes a smaller cut, but you find your own listings. A franchise supplies the name and the enquiries. The deciding factor is your real monthly deal count: at low volume, fixed monthly fees pull you below zero regardless of brand strength.
?Do I need a licence to run an estate agency franchise?
In Czechia, estate agency is a regulated trade requiring proven competence or a responsible representative, plus mandatory professional insurance. The franchisor will guide you, but the licence and the policy stay in your name. Slovak and Polish rules differ and are noted in each profile.
