Real Estate Licensing in Ector County, Texas

Updated October 16, 2026 from Texas Real Estate Commission records.

From the state's records, updated daily: how many agents already work here, who sponsors them, and how many new ones are on the way.

Who sponsors agents in Ector County

Every active sales agent practises under a sponsoring broker. Ector County's 402 active agents are spread across 69 sponsors. The ten brokerage companies sponsoring the most of them:

From TREC's license records, October 16, 2026. A sponsor is a licensed legal entity, not a brand — franchise offices register separately — and each agent is counted under their current sponsor and the county on their own license record. Brokers who sponsor as individuals are counted in the total but not named.

Who took on this county's newest agents: among Ector County agents first licensed in the last twelve months and now active, the most-common sponsors were MERAKI HOME REALTY, LLC (9), HOME CHARM REALTY LLC (7), MO MC LLC (3), REAL BROKER, LLC (3), BEYOND REALTY LLC (2).

Sponsorship is not automatic. Of 48 Ector County sales agents licensed two to twelve months ago, 3 (6%) are still inactive — licensed, but with no sponsor on record. Statewide the figure is 19%.
