## At a Glance

The best broker directory in Texas, and the clearest published account of what association membership costs.

- Kind: Not a brokerage at all: a membership body with a directory you search yourself.
- Footprint: Names Texas. It has members beyond the states it names, so one it does not name is worth asking about rather than ruling out.
- Seller Fee: Charges no seller fee. It represents no seller, so there is no sell-side fee to publish.
- Buyer Fee: Says nothing about a buyer fee. Its buyer-facing pages say nothing either way about what a buyer pays.
- Works For: Not a brokerage. A trade body rather than a firm that lists businesses, so there is nobody here to hire on either side.
- Before It Shows You Anything: Nothing to gate: it lists members, not businesses. A membership body rather than a brokerage. It has no listings to withhold, and its directory is open.

## What It Costs

Free to buyers: the member directory is public and searchable with no account. The prices below are what a MEMBER pays, published in full: $525 a year plus a $100 administrative fee at the broker company level, $375 plus $100 for an associate, and $250 plus $100 for an affiliate. Broker membership includes an IBBA membership, and an affiliate may add one for $175.

## Best For

Buyers in Texas who want to find brokers by market and credential rather than by whoever ranks first

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: The most usable member directory of any association here, filterable by city, radius, certification and profession
- Pro: Publishes its dues in full, so a reader can see exactly what a member bought
- Pro: Runs its own certification program with a published standard
- Pro: Free, with the instruction to see every member printed on the search page
- Con: Membership is dues plus a code of ethics, which is a bar rather than a vetting, and the site does not claim otherwise
- Con: Its about page counts four chapters while its navigation lists five
- Con: Publishes no member count

## What Searchers Say

Directory behavior, filters, dues and the oldest-association claim read from its own pages. The directory's own state filter offers every US state and Canadian province, so members are not confined to Texas even though the body is.
