The Texas Real Estate Inspector Committee (TREIC) recommends the Commission propose amendments to Section 535.223 during its November 7 meeting. The revisions clarify that when multiple boxes are checked for a particular item on the Property Inspection Report Form (REI 7-6), the inspector must also explain the reason for checking multiple boxes. The proposed amendments also remove single-system inspections from the list of exemptions?meaning the requirements in Section 535.223 would apply to those inspections.
Brokers have long had a termination form to inform TREC when a sales agent relationship is terminated. The proposed new Notice of Apprentice/Real Estate Inspector Termination Form would be used by inspectors to terminate a trainee or real estate inspector relationship. The form would also include a line for the sponsoring inspector to fill in the inspector?s DBA, so TREC staff can remove that information from the terminated inspector?s records. This form will be presented at the November TREC Meeting.
TREIC recently discussed concerns related to inspectors who accept payment at closing being pressured to produce a favorable report to ensure payment. Inspectors must follow the Real Estate Standards of Practice and would be in violation of TREC rules to allow compensation to influence the outcome of their reports.
