WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN
Because contract changes can affect your deal.
It's easy to assume that a contract you've used for years hasn't changed in any meaningful way. But when TREC updates its forms, even seemingly small changes can introduce new requirements, disclosures, or areas that need additional attention.
Understanding what's new can help you approach your next transaction with greater confidence and avoid overlooking changes simply because you're accustomed to the previous version of the contract.
If you use the TREC One-to-Four Family Residential Contract in your business, this is one update you don't want to ignore.
Come learn what's new, understand the changes that matter, and make sure you're working with the current contract requirements.
