We provide regular counsel to a stable of real estate brokerages and property management firms. We offer general representation and advice, furnish opinions on governing rules and regulations, review and draft contract and representation documents, handle commission disputes and defend Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) complaints. Our daily involvement with the real estate community has revealed that not all TREC licensees are worthy of the public confidence and fiduciary responsibilities entrusted to them. Accordingly, we have developed a penchant for aggressively pursuing those real estate professionals who intentionally or negligently breach the public trust by violating the Texas Real Estate License Act, TREC Rules and professional standards.
