Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Any licensed real estate agent in the US
Option A is incorrect because it limits commission sharing to 'agents' only, excluding brokers. In reality, Texas brokers can share commissions with both licensed agents and licensed brokers from any state, not just agents.
Only Texas licensed agents
Option B is incorrect because it unnecessarily restricts commission sharing to only Texas-licensed individuals. Texas has reciprocity agreements with all other states, allowing commission sharing with licensed professionals nationwide.
Licensed agents or brokers from any state
Unlicensed assistants who helped with the transaction
Option D is incorrect because Texas law prohibits sharing commissions with unlicensed individuals. Only licensed real estate professionals may receive commission splits, as unlicensed persons are not authorized to perform brokerage activities.
Why is this correct?
Option C is correct because Texas recognizes real estate licenses from all other states through reciprocity agreements. This allows Texas brokers to legally share commissions with licensed agents or brokers from any state, facilitating interstate real estate transactions while maintaining licensing standards.
