Real Producers operates 153 units — 152 franchised, 1 company-owned — in the real estate segment, with unit count up 14.3% year over year, one of the faster-growing systems in the category. The brand is part of N2. The operator footprint spans 127 mapped operators, including 17 multi-unit operators, across roughly 150 located units, led by Texas (12), Florida (12) and Ohio (11). The FDD makes a financial performance representation under Item 19.
Item 8 lets the franchisor designate itself, an affiliate, or a third party as the exclusive source for certain items and services — a strong indicator of centralized purchasing control. Item 2 names five leaders, including CEO and President JP Hamel and Chief Legal Officer/General Counsel Matthew B. Davis, who sit atop that structure.
Item 11 of the FDD sets Real Producers' technology and training requirements; read the filing below for the specifics.
Item 8's approved-supplier model reserves an exclusive-source option to the franchisor for certain items, while other purchases must meet specifications, with room for franchisees to propose alternative suppliers for approval. Item 17 sets the system's renewal, transfer and termination terms on a 3-year initial term. With unit count up 14.3% year over year, new-territory activity looks like the more likely driver of near-term purchasing decisions.
The 2026 FDD is filed with state franchise regulators. Read the embedded PDF viewer below for the full text of Items 2, 8, 11, 17, 19 and 20. For a ranked list of franchise systems that fit your product better than this one, talk to FranCloud.
