Buying or selling property can be overwhelming. Because of the size and complexity of the transaction, consumers often hire a real estate broker to navigate the process. The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) is responsible for educating, licensing, and enforcing the rules and laws for real estate brokers, sales agents, inspectors, easement or right-of-way agents, and timeshare plans.
Most residential home sales involve an inspector at some point in the process. What should a real estate agent tell their client when the client desires to employ an inspector? Here are four tips.
The purchase of a home is a significant investment and being part of the process provides a client a better understanding of the home and any possible issues they may need to be addressed in the purchase process.
Regardless of the nature of your real estate concern ― whether it’s an issue with a financial institution or a property tax concern― there are a number of agencies that are looking out for your best interest. If your issue is not under the jurisdiction of TREC, one of the resources below may be able to help.

The Texas Public Information Act gives you the right to access government records and government officials may not ask why you want them. All government information is presumed to be available to the public. Exceptions may apply to the disclosure of certain information. The Agency must promptly release requested information that is not confidential by law or information for which an exception to disclosure has been sought.
