Broker Responsibility (2025-2026)

Take your business to the next level with the TREC Broker Responsibility Course—a required 6-hour CE class for brokers and anyone who sponsors agents, but honestly, it’s valuable for every real estate professional.

This course breaks down what really happens behind the scenes of a well-run brokerage—covering topics like supervision, compliance, risk management, and how to avoid the mistakes that can cost you deals (or your license). Even if you’re not a broker (yet), understanding how broker responsibilities work will make you a stronger, smarter agent.

Taught by Angie Rhea, Broker, and Terroni Espinoza, Associate Broker of StepStone Realty, this class is practical, real-world, and easy to follow. You’ll walk away with insights you can actually use—whether you're leading a team, thinking about growing into a broker role, or just want to operate at a higher level in your business.
