What is the difference between the Texas sales agent and broker exams?

The broker exam has 130 questions (vs 110 for sales agent), includes 50 state-specific questions focused on brokerage management, trust account reconciliation, agent supervision, and broker-level TREC responsibilities. The sales agent exam focuses on basic real estate concepts, while the broker exam tests leadership, compliance, and operational knowledge.

What is an intermediary relationship in Texas?

Texas does NOT use 'dual agency.' When a brokerage represents both buyer and seller, the broker acts as an intermediary with written consent from both parties. The broker may appoint different licensees (appointed licensees) to each party who can provide opinions and advice. Without appointments, the intermediary cannot provide opinions or advice to either party.
