Brokers may use the Independent Contractor Agreement for Sales Associate (TXR 2301) to contract with sponsored sales agents who are not employees. The agreement defines the relationship between the independent contractor sales agent and the brokerage, the duration of the agreement, and both parties’ responsibilities, which include soliciting listings and prospects and providing brokerage services. It also requires the independent contractor sales agent to maintain a real estate license and membership in the local, state, and national REALTOR® associations. The agreement spells out how the independent contractor sales agent will be paid. Additionally, the Independent Contractor Agreement for Sales Associate can provide documentation supporting independent contractor status for IRS purposes. It is one of more than 140 forms available to members of Texas REALTORS®.
