United Real Estate franchise profit — what the FDD discloses
Plainly: United Real Estate does not disclose franchise profit or revenue. Its most recent FDD makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-backed earnings figure for United Real Estate — any number quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure. The absence is itself worth weighing (22% of real estate franchisors in our corpus do disclose); the fees, litigation and outlet churn United Real Estate's FDD does contain are on this page. For brands that put earnings on paper, see Real estate franchises with disclosed Item 19 earnings.
United Real Estate lawsuits & legal history (FDD Item 3)
United Real Estate's most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. That is a real signal rather than a gap: the FTC Franchise Rule requires a franchisor to disclose material litigation involving itself, its predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 in a current filing means there was nothing it was required to report. It is worth reading alongside the churn numbers — a system can have a clean Item 3 and still be losing franchisees, which is what Item 20 shows.
United Real Estate closures & failure rate
Before you sign, United Real Estate will hand you a list of current owners to call as references — and they choose who's on that list. It won't include the owners who quit, got bought out, or were forced out last year. The FDD does report that number, even though the reference list leaves those people off. Below is what United Real Estate's most recent filing shows, and whether it's normal for a real estate of this kind.
The closest thing an FDD has to a failure rate is Item 20 — outlet openings, closures, terminations and non-renewals, reported by the franchisor. United Real Estate's latest tables show a growing franchised network. Its franchised-outlet closure rate — closures, terminations and non-renewals against outlets — is 1.4%, against a real estate median of 6.3% — at or better than the category. Net franchised outlets moved +3 to 73 in the latest reported year.
Who owns United Real Estate?
United Real Estate's franchise is offered by Five D I, LLC d b a United Real Estate — the franchisor named on the cover of its most recently filed Franchise Disclosure Document (2024), and the entity a franchisee actually signs with. That name comes straight off the filing at CA DFPI; it identifies the franchisor, not necessarily the ultimate parent company behind it.

United Real Estate franchise — frequently asked
Who owns United Real Estate — who is the franchisor?
United Real Estate's most recently filed FDD (2024) names Five D I, LLC d b a United Real Estate as the franchisor — the entity you would actually sign the franchise agreement with, as stated on the disclosure document itself.

How much profit does a United Real Estate franchise make?
United Real Estate makes no Item 19 financial performance representation, so there is no franchisor-disclosed revenue or profit figure for United Real Estate at all — and profit would never be disclosed even where earnings are, because it depends on your rent, labor and how you operate. Any profit figure quoted elsewhere is an estimate, not a disclosure.

Are there lawsuits against United Real Estate?
No — United Real Estate's most recently filed FDD (2024) discloses no litigation in Item 3. Franchisors must disclose material litigation involving themselves, their predecessors, parents, affiliates and management, so an empty Item 3 is a genuine signal rather than an omission.
