TREC’s main objective is to safeguard the public by ensuring that real estate professionals adhere to legal and ethical standards.
Licensees must disclose any known material defects to potential buyers, as failing to do so is considered a violation of TRELA.
TREC can impose an administrative penalty of up to $5,000 per violation.
TREC requires that any changes to a licensee’s contact information be reported within 30 days.
While you must be a U.S. citizen or a lawfully admitted alien, you do not need to be a resident of Texas to obtain a real estate license.
