This document outlines the roles and responsibilities of different types of real estate license holders in Texas. A broker is responsible for all brokerage activities and oversight of sales agents. A broker's minimum duties include putting the client's interests first, disclosing all material facts, answering questions, and treating all parties honestly and fairly. A license holder can represent parties as an agent for the owner/seller, buyer/tenant, or act as an intermediary for both. All agreements between clients and brokers should be in writing and clearly establish duties, payment terms, and how to avoid disputes.
