Richard, you are absolutely right. Im not a TAREI member but had been thinking about joining for some time. Nows a good time, hopefully they have enough stroke to help get this stopped. If not, I would absolutely have to raise my costs $100 or more per inspection to offset the cost of the insurance.

Good time to research the inner workings of TREC and bombard them (elected officials) with emails, phone calls, letters, etc.

The TREC advisor disciplinary page is about 95% actions against real estate agents. Are they required to have E/O insurance? I dont know.
