can a real estate agent take a fee from anyone other than their principal broker
A: No. Listing agreements are private contracts between the property owner and the real estate broker, not the sales agent. You can ask the original broker to release you from the agreement or contact a private attorney to advise you if you can terminate the listing agreement in some other fashion.: No. A buyer representation agreement is a private contract between a real estate broker and a buyer and is not promulgated or regulated by TREC. You should consult with a private attorney. The Texas Association of Realtors (TAR) provides certain forms to its members.
