The Texas Real Estate Commission has implemented two significant rule amendments that directly impact real estate brokers and agents operating in Central Texas. The first change relates to the requirement for brokers to assist their agents, while the second addresses the Obligation to Respond Timely rule regarding responses within real estate transactions.
The commission has decided to increase the minimum number of times a broker must assist and coach a sponsored agent conducting a new type of brokerage activity from one to three times. This change is aimed at ensuring a better support system and higher quality service, ultimately benefiting both the agents and their clients.
In addition to the above amendment, the Obligation to Respond Timely rule has also been updated. A broker or sales agent is now required to respond to their principal, a sales agent representing another party in a real estate transaction, or an unrepresented party in a real transaction within two calendar days. The updated rule helps maintain clear communication among parties and ensures that deals can progress efficiently.
