Depending on what you seek to do, you may or may not need a license. Please refer to the following TREC Enforcement Division questions:

Texas has no license reciprocity agreements with other states. Each case is evaluated separately regarding education requirements. You will need to contact the Texas Real Estate Commission at 1-800-250-TREC. They will need verification of what education you completed to receive your license and will inform you of what more you will need. In almost all cases, you will need to take at least Law of Agency 1111 and Law of Contracts 1200.

To begin, a trained real estate salesperson has received professional training, both in theory and practice. He would thus have first-hand knowledge of competitive prices of properties as well as access to records of recent sales of comparable homes. A well-trained real estate salesperson also has access to a wide range of marketing tools that are crucial in the successful selling of any property in the shortest time possible.

Besides commission, the most important matter you negotiate at the time of listing your house with a real estate salesperson is the duration of the listing contract. Terms vary, but listing agreements are seldom for less than three months. So what if you find yourself dissatisfied midway through a 3-month contract? While the listing contract is legally binding, some real estate salespersons offer homeowners an opportunity to opt out if they are unhappy with the services they are receiving.

You must be age 18 or older. You must have an address within the State. You must complete the required number of hours of study and pass the State Examination.

You must fill out the appropriate State forms, pay the license fee, send your course Completion Certificate, and provide a copy of your test results.

We like to think good training and experience make the best salespersons. But the truth is, not every salesperson is right for every seller.

A person needs a real estate license if they provide assistance which is in any way intended to result in the sale or lease of real estate.

Included are: representing clients in the negotiation of real estate sales contracts or leases, and issuing advertisements for the sale, purchase or lease of real estate.

The majority of the time, the answer is no. Each state determines their own real estate laws, so check the laws in your state.

No. You're better off without a license, so you are not bound to the disclosure standards of a broker. If you want to be a buyer or seller, you don't need a license.

Get a realtor to represent you when you are ready to sell your homes.
