From Agent to CEO
Most real estate agents don't know they can form their own LLC and operate it as a licensed Texas brokerage — under their own brand, with their own agents, keeping 100% of every commission. This is what real estate school never taught you.
Texas Broker Sponsor™ — LLC & Corporate Entity Sponsorship
What Is LLC Entity Sponsorship?
Under Texas law, a licensed real estate brokerage does not have to be an individual — it can be an LLC or corporation. TREC simply requires that the entity have a licensed Designated Broker appointed to it. Texas Broker Sponsor™ provides that appointment under a flat-fee transaction model — no splits, no monthly fees.
This is not taught in real estate school. Most agents spend their entire careers working under someone else's brand, paying splits to a broker they will never own equity in. LLC Entity Sponsorship changes that equation entirely.
The Six Advantages of Operating as a Brokerage Entity
Everything the infographic shows — explained in plain language
Own Your Brand
Operate under your own logo, signs, and business name. You are building a saleable business asset — not equity for someone else's franchise.
Keep 100% of Your Commission
Shift from unpredictable commission splits to a simple flat-fee structure. Every deal you close, you keep the full commission minus a transparent per-transaction fee.
Recruit Your Own Team
Hire agents under your own brokerage brand. Set their splits. Build your own downline. Grow a real business with recurring revenue — not just personal production.
Compliance Shield
Your sponsoring broker acts as your Chief Compliance Officer, providing audit-ready TREC oversight so you can focus on production, not paperwork.
Protect Your Personal Assets
An LLC legally separates your business liabilities from your personal life and finances. Your home, savings, and personal assets are shielded from business claims.
Operate as a Business Entity
An LLC is a legal structure recognized by TREC for brokerage licensing. Domestic and foreign corporations are both eligible. TBS sponsors both.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my LLC be a licensed real estate brokerage in Texas?
Yes. Under TREC rules, a Texas LLC or corporation can be licensed as a real estate brokerage. The entity must have a licensed Designated Broker appointed to it. Texas Broker Sponsor™ provides that appointment under a flat-fee sponsorship model.
What is a Designated Broker and why do I need one?
TREC requires every licensed real estate brokerage entity to have a licensed Designated Broker — an individual broker responsible for the entity's TREC compliance. Texas Broker Sponsor™ provides this appointment. Ron L. Miranda, licensed since 2010, serves as Designated Broker for sponsored entities.
Can I hire agents under my own LLC brokerage?
Yes. Once your LLC is licensed with a Designated Broker appointed, you can sponsor other agents under your entity. You set their commission splits, build your own team, and grow your own brokerage brand — all under the TBS compliance umbrella.
Does Texas Broker Sponsor sponsor foreign corporations?
Yes. Texas Broker Sponsor™ is a leader in sponsoring both domestic and foreign corporations for licensed real estate business in Texas. If your entity is incorporated outside Texas but wishes to conduct real estate brokerage in Texas, TBS can provide the Designated Broker appointment required by TREC.
Is this taught in real estate school?
No. The option to form an LLC and operate it as a licensed brokerage is not covered in Texas pre-license education. Most agents are unaware this structure exists. Texas Broker Sponsor™ has been a leader in LLC and corporate entity sponsorship since 2012.
How is LLC Entity Sponsorship different from regular agent sponsorship?
With regular agent sponsorship, your license hangs under TBS and you operate as an individual. With LLC Entity Sponsorship, your LLC or corporation is the licensed brokerage — you own the entity, operate under your own brand, and can hire agents under your own brokerage. TBS provides the Designated Broker appointment in both cases.
