RE/MAX is 1.6× cheaper to get into — ₹37,100 vs ₹60,800. RE/MAX runs the bigger network at 2994 vs 518 outlets. EXIT Realty takes less off the top (0% royalty vs 1%).
Numbers that separate them on a 5-year horizon — not the dealer-pitch summary.
The operational model splits the room: RE/MAX expects m involvement; EXIT Realty expects h involvement. If you're an absentee investor this matters as much as the capex — the wrong match burns you via under-managed operations.
One-time franchise fees are worth noting: RE/MAX charges ₹8,750 upfront on top of the setup capex. This is a non-refundable sunk cost before revenue begins — bake it into your at-risk capital calculation.

Among these brands, the smallest footprint is RE/MAX at 600+ sqft. Tier-2 and Tier-3 city franchisees should verify whether the brand will approve a location at minimum spec — in high-street metros, brands typically insist on 150–300 sqft above their published minimum.

Territorial exclusivity varies sharply across Real Estate Brokerage operators and is rarely enforced uniformly. Most Indian franchise agreements carve out a "protected radius" (typically 500m–2km) rather than exclusive geographic zones. Always read the "Non-Competition" and "Protected Territory" clauses of the franchise agreement — and verify by asking existing franchisees if the brand has honoured them.
Most Indian Real Estate Brokerage franchises pay the operator via product-margin on supply (cost-to-MRP spread) rather than explicit revenue share. Brands with 0% royalty usually recoup their cut inside supply pricing. Brands with stated royalty (commonly 3–10%) take it on top of product margin. Calculate effective take-home on both structures before you sign.
