Texas Real Estate Commission Information About Brokerage Services

Sale of Equitable Interests in Real Estate Clarified (Real Estate Investors) SB 2212 amends Chapter 1101 to codify the clarifying changes to TREC rules regarding sale of certain equitable interests in real property. Just like the rule, this statutory change clarifies that a person selling or offering to sell an option or assigning an interest in a contract to purchase real property must accurately disclose to potential buyers the nature of the interest offered. If a person offers a property for sale when the person does not own the property, that person is engaged in brokerage and must be licensed to do so. This is the current law. If a person offers to sell an option or assign an interest in a contract on a property, the person must accurately describe the interest being offered. The same requirement for accuracy is added in the Property Code. The practice of “wholesaling” remains legal if these “truth in advertising” rules are adhered to.

Public Disclaimer Concerning Services: MLS systems syndicate to several third-party sites. We can not guarantee syndication to third-party sites correctly since we do not have control over how they operate since this is not a function we perform within our company. For the reason mentioned, we do not guarantee how your properties photos or details of your property will syndicate. Third-party sites such as Realtor®, Trulia, Zillow, etc. are in the business to sell leads to their customers, which are other Realtors® within your market that subscribe for the leads for money provided to the site. We do not guarantee or promise to deliver leads to you from these mentioned third-party websites, nor from any of the other third-party websites on the internet. We CAN guarantee your property will be listed on the MLS within your selected market area and we do GUARANTEE your property listing is published in the MLS. Each MLS is independent of any other MLS in a given market area. We are available to answer your questions about the MLS. The number of photos your package allows is mandated by the MLS. We will provide you the Maximum allowed by your package so long as the MLS allows us to do so. Syndication to third-party websites is a function of the MLS and can not guarantee your property will receive syndication to any particular third-party website. Our agreement with you is not contingent upon any particular third-party site and the fee your pay us to list your property is only for listing on the MLS.
