The purpose of this course is to address the regulatory aspects of the management, operation and supervision of a real estate brokerage firm in Texas. The course provides an understanding and working knowledge of the law of agency, planning and organization of business entities, requirements for written policies and procedures, records retention and control, advertising, recruitment and training of agents, and the anatomy of a complaint filed with Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC).

  Section 535.2 of the TREC Rules requires a broker who sponsors salespersons, a designated broker of a business entity, and a licensee who is a delegated supervisor of one or more licensees (for 6 months or more during the supervisor’s current license period), to complete this 6-hour broker responsibility course to renew a license. Any licensee may take this course. Additionally, a sponsoring broker may, by policy, require certain licensees and employees to take this course.

This course by Michica Guillory "How NOT to Accidentally Practice Law Using TAR Commercial Forms" covers the rules that apply to all residential forms. Licensed agents and brokers are exceedingly cautious to not accidentally “practice law” when utilizing commercial forms. Yet, contracts still need to be altered sometimes. This course is designed to show licensees how to properly alter TAR contracts and not break the law while doing it!
