NEW STATE LAWS TO STRENGTHEN LICENSEES’ ACCOUNTABILITY AUSTIN (Texas Real Estate Commission) – New state laws intended to strengthen real estate licensees’ accountability to consumers have taken effect or will take effect in 2012. As of Sept. 1, 2011: * Property managers for single-family residential units must be licensed. Persons involved in leasing such properties have always been required to hold a real estate broker or sales license, but managers not engaged in leasing did not. * Other than sole proprietorships, all business entities that engage in practices defined under the law as “brokerage activity” must also be licensed. Formerly, certain partnerships were exempt. * The updated law acknowledges the practice of producing “broker price opinions” as a common broker activity. It more clearly distinguishes these from “appraisals,” which require a separate and distinct appraiser license from the Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board, and require extensive education in valuation techniques. Effective next year: * Beginning in January 2012, applicants for a broker license will need to have four years of experience as a licensed salesperson, up from the current two-year requirement, plus demonstrate practical competency by providing a detailed list of brokerage activities engaged in by the applicant during this same period. * Brokers and other direct supervisors of licensed salespersons who seek to renew a license after Sept. 1, 2012, will need to have completed a new six-hour course in “Broker Responsibilities” in addition to the combined six-hour courses on legal and ethics updates.
