About this episode

This episode discusses the role of an intermediary broker and appointed agents in real estate transactions in Texas.

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - An intermediary broker with appointments must remain neutral and cannot provide advice to the buyer or seller. - Appointed agents are permitted to provide advice and opinions to the party they are appointed to represent. - Acting as an intermediary requires written consent from both parties, followed by written notice of the appointments. - Confidential information given to an appointed agent is protected and must not be disclosed to the other party or the intermediary broker. - A key exam trap is confusing the neutral role of the broker with the advisory capacity of the appointed agents.
