Reputation for Excellence

TREC enjoys a stellar reputation for professional engagement with our stakeholders and collaboration partners across all parts of the real estate profession, earned through diligent outreach and input opportunities, and full transparency in all major public policy deliberations.  Commission and Board meetings are broadcast live via the agency’s website, and meeting videos and materials are archived there as well, fully indexed for ease of use by all interested persons.  Meeting notices, agenda and materials for the many agency advisory committees, working groups and sub-committees are all posted on our website and are open to the public. A free e-newsletter is sent to all license holders and others interested in updates, as well as special news releases for major events. 

A Great Place to Work

We think so, and so do many others. Routine measures of overall employee morale and satisfaction by University of Texas show TREC continues to excel.  Employees are encouraged to participate in problem-solving teams that address issues such as communication, technology, and human resources policies.

We believe in work-life balance for our employees. To this end, we strive to maintain an environment that is supportive of work-life balance issues including allowing flexible work schedules and telework arrangements where appropriate and consistent with business needs.
