Coming soon a change in the renewal process for salespersons and brokers.

At its June 13, 2005 meeting, the Commission discussed eliminating the current license renewal form for salespersons and brokers. It is anticipated that the existing renewal card will be replaced with a notification postcard by July 1, 2006. The notification postcard will alert salespersons and brokers that they need to renew their license online.

Although the postcard notification change does not go into effect until July 1, 2006, salespersons and brokers may continue renewing their licenses online by visiting: www.trec.state.tx.us

The online renewal service has been available since August 2000. Please visit TREC’s web site for online renewals and to obtain other current information pertaining to the Commission. For more information on the renewal notification postcard see TRECAdvisor ,Vol. 16, Number 4, July 2005 issue.

Broker Lawyer Committee Reviewing Contracts and Addenda The Broker Lawyer Committee hopes to submit revised forms to the Commission at the next Commission meeting on October 17, 2005. This is the first step in the process to adopt six revised contracts and four addenda. If the Commission approves the proposed forms, they will be sent to the Texas Register along with the rule text proposing them for adoption. Once the Register publishes the proposed rule, there is a thirty day comment period in which the rule text and drafts of the forms will be available on the TREC web site. The Commission could consider the rule text, contracts and addenda as early as its December 5, 2005 meeting. They would not be mandatory before January 1, 2006.

New Law Requires Brokers
to Provide Minimum Services to Clients

Effective September 1, 2005, revisions to The Real Estate License Act (the Act) made by the 79th Legislature under Senate Bill 810 address many of the concerns raised by the real estate industry regarding minimum service standards. Under the new law, a broker who represents a party in a real estate transaction or who lists real estate for sale under an exclusive agency agreement is considered the party’s agent. As the agent, the broker may not instruct another broker to violate an existing statutory provision that prohibits a licensee from negotiating a real estate transaction with a party who is represented in an exclusive agency relationship with another broker. In addition, the broker must inform the client if the broker obtains material information related to the transaction. Finally, the broker is required to, at a minimum, answer the party’s questions and present any offer to or from the party.

Taken as a whole, these provisions require a broker who represents a client to present all offers to the client and answer the client's questions. To the extent the broker obtains any other material information related to the transaction, the broker is obligated to pass such information on to the client.

Several exceptions to the general rules described above are also part of the new law. A licensee holder acting under a power of attorney (POA) or a property management agreement (PMA) that gives the licensee the legal authority to bind the client to a lease or sale is considered a party to the lease or sale. This means that the licensee acting under such a POA or PMA is not required to communicate all offers to the client. Thus, the terms of the POA or PMA would define the licensee’s authority to act on behalf of the client.

The new law also provides that an inquiry to an employee of a builder or developer about contract terms or forms does not violate the prohibition against negotiation with a represented party if the builder or developer employee does not have authority to bind the employer to the contract. Thus, the agent for the other party, presumably the buyer in this case, may discuss contract terms or forms with the employee without violating the Act.

Senate Bill 810 provides for a delivery exception to the provision in the Act that prohibits a licensee from negotiating a real estate transaction with a party who is represented by another broker under an exclusive agency agreement. The delivery of an offer to a party does not violate this provision if the party’s broker consents to the delivery, a copy of the offer is sent to the party’s broker, and the person delivering the offer does not engage in any other activity that directly or indirectly violates the prohibition against negotiation with a represented party. Thus a broker can deliver, fax, or send offers or counteroffers to a party as long as the party’s broker consents to the deliver and a copy of the offer or counteroffer is simultaneously sent to the party’s broker.

Finally, the new law provides that if the party is a governmental agency using a sealed bid process that does not allow a copy of an offer or counteroffer to be sent to the broker, the broker is not required to send a copy of the offer to the other party’s broker.

Senate Bill 810 made several other important changes to the Act that are addressed in other articles in this month’s issue of the TRECAdvisor or on the website at www.trec.state.tx.us.
