What’s Inside
- Brokerage-wide requirements (set up once, not per file): written policies and procedures, delegated supervision, the IABS and Consumer Protection Notice website links, advertising and trust account rules
- Every Texas file: IABS 1-2, intermediary consent, licensee-interest disclosure and the 4-year retention rule
- Buyer side: the written buyer agreement required before showing residential property, and the 14-day showing-only agreement
- Contract forms: the current numbers for resale, condo, new home, farm and ranch, and unimproved property contracts
- Disclosures, notices and addenda: seller’s disclosure, lead-based paint, HOA, MUD and PID notices, the new groundwater and surface water disclosure, and more
- Leases: the landlord’s flood disclosure and lead-based paint for rentals
Form numbers and rules change. Check the current list at trec.texas.gov, and take legal questions to a Texas real estate attorney.
