Information About Brokerage Services Texas law requires all real
estate licensees to give the following information about brokerage services
to prospective buyers, tenants, sellers and landlords. Before working with
a real estate broker, you should know that the duties of a broker depend on
whom the broker represents. If you are a prospective seller or landlord
(owner) or a prospective buyer or tenant (buyer), you should know that the
broker who lists the property for sale or lease is the owner's agent. A
broker who acts as a subagent represents the owner in cooperation with the
listing broker. A broker who acts as a buyer's agent represents the buyer. A
broker may act as an intermediary between the parties if the parties consent
in writing. A broker can assist you in locating a property, preparing a
contract or lease, or obtaining financing without representing you. A broker
is obligated by law to treat you honestly. IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE
OWNER: The broker becomes the owner's agent by entering into an agreement
with the owner, usually through a written -listing agreement, or by agreeing
to act as a subagent by accepting an offer of subagency from the listing
broker. A subagent may work in a different real estate office. A listing
broker or subagent can assist the buyer but does not represent the buyer and
must place the interests of the owner first. The buyer should not tell the
owner's agent anything the buyer would not want the owner to know because an
owner's agent must disclose to the owner any material information known to
the agent. IF THE BROKER REPRESENTS THE BUYER: The broker becomes the
buyer's agent by entering into an agreement to represent the buyer, usually
through a written buyer representation agreement. A buyer's agent can assist
the owner but does not represent the owner and must place the interests of
the buyer first. The owner should not tell a buyer's agent anything the
owner would not want the buyer to know because a buyer's agent must disclose
to the buyer any material information known to the agent. IF THE BROKER
ACTS AS AN INTERMEDIARY: A broker may act as an intermediary between the
parties if the broker complies with The Texas Real Estate License Act. The
broker must obtain the written consent of each party to the transaction to
act as an intermediary. The written consent must state who will pay the
broker and, in conspicuous bold or underlined print, set forth the broker's
obligations as an intermediary. The broker is required to treat each party
honestly and fairly and to comply with The Texas Real Estate License Act. A
broker who acts as an intermediary in a transaction:
- shall treat all parties honestly;
- may not disclose that the owner will accept a price less than the
asking price unless authorized in writing to do so by the owner;
- may not disclose that the buyer will pay a price greater than the
price submitted in a written offer unless authorized in writing to do so
by the buyer; and
- may not disclose any confidential information or any information that
a party specifically instructs the broker in writing not to disclose
unless authorized in writing to disclose the information or required to do
so by The Texas Real Estate License Act or a court order or if the
information materially relates to the condition of the property.
With the parties' consent, a broker acting as an intermediary between
the parties may appoint a person who is licensed under The Texas Real
Estate License Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and
carry out instructions of one party and another person who is licensed
under that Act and associated with the broker to communicate with and
carry out instructions of the other party. If you choose to have a
broker represent you, you should enter into a written agreement with the
broker that clearly establishes the broker's obligations and your
obligations. The agreement should state how and by whom the broker will be
paid. You have the right to choose the type of representation, if any, you
wish to receive. Your payment of a fee to a broker does not necessarily
establish that the broker represents you. If you have any questions
regarding the duties and responsibilities of the broker, you should
resolve those questions before proceeding. |
