TREC committee backs major changes to broker licensing — commission votes to propose rules
Summary
The commission voted to propose rule changes that would increase broker experience requirements to 720 points, cap bachelor’s‑degree credit to 300 education hours, allow limited substitution of experience for education, and change how property‑management and delegated‑supervision experience are counted.
The Texas Real Estate Commission moved on Thursday to propose rule changes that would substantially alter the education and experience pathway to a broker license.
The Broker Responsibility Advisory Committee and staff presented a package of recommended changes to commissioners that would: increase minimum experience points required for a broker license from 360 to 720; cap the real‑estate‑related education credit for a bachelor’s degree at 300 of the 630 required hours; allow an applicant to substitute experience for education hours above the new minimum (up to 300 hours); change property‑management experience calculations to a per‑property‑per‑year basis; and shift delegated‑supervision credit to a points‑per‑transaction model.
