1. what is a texas broker sponsorship?
A Broker Sponsor Allows Your LLC to Legally Operate as a Brokerage
Texas requires every real estate company to have a designated, licensed broker. A broker sponsor fills that role for your LLC or business entity. Your entity becomes the brokerage name the public sees. You operate under your own brand while staying 100% TREC-compliant.

Your company controls branding, recruiting, and internal compensation. Broker Rochelle Fitzgerald is listed with TREC as your designated broker. We ensure your entity meets TREC’s licensing, supervision, and compliance rules. You focus on growing your brokerage without waiting to become a broker yourself.
Perfect for Agents, Teams, and Companies Building Their Own Brand
Ideal for top performing agents who want to open a brokerage but don’t yet qualify as a broker. Great for top performing teams wanting to operate under a separate LLC. Works for non-licensed owners who want to own a Texas brokerage entity under the supervision of a licensed agent such as a Team Leader or Office Manager.
