NOTE: Exp Realty prohibits property management activities in their name. If you want to brainstorm about how to get into property management, check out this ChatGPT. This is NOT legal advice. We cannot train you on how to run a property management business in compliance with state law. Property management covers service level standards, tenants rights, property codes, notices, Broker Trust accounts and many other rules that apply that can only be managed by a licensed Business Entity Broker in Texas. See advice from TREC and legal counsel. We also recommend partnering with an expert in the field who can share with you what you don't know! It's way more than collecting rent checks and finding tenants.
PER EXP POLICIES & PROCEDURES MANUAL
K. Unauthorized Activities
1. Generally
c. Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence to this paragraph, Agents shall not conduct property management services through eXp. The term "property management services" means engaging in any activities concerning an actual or prospective tenant on behalf of a client, whether or not such activities are coupled with any property preservation services (as that term is defined herein) (e.g., collecting rents, performing inspections, setting up repairs and maintenance, running a background check, making or assisting with tenant selection, etc.). However, Agents may list rental properties on behalf of landlord- clients, and Agents may assist tenant-clients in locating suitable properties in which to rent.
Agents cannot provide property management services under the eXp Realty brand. Instead, we have a strategic partnership with HomeRiver Group, designed specifically to expand the services available to our real estate agents. This partnership allows eXp Realty agents to offer top-notch property management solutions provided by HomeRiver Group to their landlord clients.
