We have a limited number of complimentary tickets available for clients. If you have VIPs you'd like to invite, request tickets using the form below. Please fill out the form for each individual you would like to attend (e.g. two (2) tickets for Mr. and Mrs. Johnson would require a total of two (2) form entries). A ticket counter on the ticket form will live update every five (5) minutes, so you may see how many tickets are still available. Please act quickly before tickets run out!

3. Send Out a Mass Message to Your Leads
This is a great touchpoint to engage with your database! We’ve put together message templates for emails and texts at the bottom of the following page. Just copy, personalize, and send!

Form Update:
February 20, 2025
The Texas Real Estate Commission met February 10 and adopted changes to the Information About Brokerage Services (TXR 2501, TREC IABS 1-0) form and Notice of Buyer’s Termination of Contract (TXR 1902, TREC 38-7). The updated forms will be available on the TREC website for voluntary use soon. The mandatory effective date of the updated forms is April 1.
Summary of Changes
The updated IABS form clarifies to consumers that any brokerage fees are not set by law and are negotiable.
There is a clarifying change in Paragraph 2 of the Notice of Buyer’s Termination of Contract to ensure that the buyer has delivered the lender’s written statement to the seller in accordance with recent changes to Paragraph 2A, Buyer Approval, of the Third Party Financing Addendum.

UPDATE: Starting January 27, 2025, new FCC regulations under the TCPA will tighten restrictions on automated calls and texts.
What You Need to Know:
Explicit Consent: Businesses need separate, written consent for telemarketing.
Context Matters: Consent applies only to the specific content - sending unrelated messages is a no-go.
Basic Preparation:
Update consent forms.
We'll need fresh training on compliance.
Audit your CRM to track permissions and contexts.
This can either be an obstacle or a massive opportunity. We're working to leverage this situation to build greater trust with your clients and community. It’s a part of what we do. Together, we’ll navigate these changes with confidence! Stay Tuned!
