What is the main function of the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC)?

The main function of the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) is to regulate the real estate profession in Texas. This includes overseeing the licensing and conduct of real estate agents, brokers, and other industry professionals to ensure that they comply with the laws and regulations governing real estate practices. By enforcing these regulations, TREC helps maintain integrity and professionalism within the industry, ensuring that consumers are protected in their real estate transactions.

While facilitating real estate transactions, licensing property appraisers, and promoting real estate education are important aspects of the real estate landscape, they are not the primary purpose of TREC. The commission’s core mission focuses specifically on regulation and oversight to ensure that the real estate profession operates under established legal and ethical standards.
