Questions From Fort Worth Agents

Does JLA Realty have an office in Fort Worth?
No, not yet. JLA Realty has 23 offices across Texas, but none in Dallas–Fort Worth. Fort Worth agents get live Zoom training and broker support by phone and email.
Can I join a Texas brokerage without a Fort Worth office?
Yes. Your Texas license works statewide, and any Texas broker can sponsor you. Ask how you will get training, contract help, and quick answers.
How do I switch brokerages in Texas?
Talk with your new broker first. Plan your listings and pending deals with your current broker, since listings belong to the brokerage. Then change your sponsor with TREC online, and update your board, MLS, and ads.
What happens to my listings if I switch brokerages?
Listings belong to your current brokerage, not to you. Ask your broker about a release. Some agents close their pending deals before they move.

Most Fort Worth agents use NTREIS. Many belong to the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS®. Confirm your board and MLS when you transfer your license.
