Texas law requires all real estate license holders to give the following information about brokerage services to prospective buyers, tenants, sellers, and landlords.

TYPES OF REAL ESTATE LICENSE HOLDERS:
• A BROKER is responsible for all brokerage activities, including acts performed by sales agents sponsored by the broker.
• A SALES AGENT must be sponsored by a broker and works with clients on behalf of the broker.

A BROKER'S MINIMUM DUTIES REQUIRED BY LAW (a client is the person or party the broker represents):
• Put the interests of the client above all others, including the broker's own interests;
• Inform the client of any material information about the property or transaction received by the broker;
• Answer the client's questions and present any offer to or counter-offer from the client;
• Treat all parties to a real estate transaction honestly and fairly.

A LICENSE HOLDER CAN REPRESENT A PARTY in a real estate transaction:
• AS AGENT FOR OWNER (SELLER/LANDLORD): The broker becomes the property owner's agent through an agreement with the owner.
• AS AGENT FOR BUYER/TENANT: The broker becomes the buyer/tenant's agent by agreeing to represent the buyer.
• AS AGENT FOR BOTH — INTERMEDIARY: To act as an intermediary, a broker must first obtain the written agreement of each party to the transaction.
• AS SUBAGENT: A license holder acts as a subagent when aiding a buyer in a transaction without an agreement to represent the buyer.

TO AVOID DISPUTES, ALL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN YOU AND A BROKER SHOULD BE IN WRITING AND CLEARLY ESTABLISH:
• The broker's duties and responsibilities to you, and your obligations under the representation agreement.
• Who will pay the broker for services provided to you, when payment will be made and how the payment will be calculated.

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Wire fraud and email hacking are increasingly common in real estate transactions. Criminals may attempt to impersonate your agent, broker, title company, or landlord and send fraudulent wiring instructions that divert your funds to an account they control.

TO PROTECT YOURSELF:
1. NEVER trust wiring instructions sent via email. Email accounts are routinely hacked.
2. ALWAYS verify wiring instructions verbally by calling a known, trusted phone number (not one provided in the email).
3. CONFIRM the recipient's name and account number with the title company, landlord, or property manager before sending any funds.
4. BE SUSPICIOUS of any last-minute changes to wiring instructions, urgent requests, or instructions to wire to a different bank.
5. If you are asked to wire deposit or rent funds, call Ariel Steinberg directly to verify the instructions before sending.

IF YOU SUSPECT FRAUD, immediately contact your bank, Ariel Steinberg, and the local FBI office. Time is critical — funds can sometimes be recovered if reported quickly.

By signing below, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this warning and agree to take reasonable steps to verify any wiring instructions you receive in connection with your rental transaction.
