What does IABS stand for in Texas real estate?

• A. Information About Brokerage Services
• B. Information About Buying Services
• C. Interaction About Brokerage Standards
• D. Integrated Brokerage Agreements and Services

Answer: (A)

The key idea is knowing what IABS stands for and why it exists in Texas real estate. IABS means Information About Brokerage Services, the formal disclosure that real estate licensees provide to clients and customers. It clarifies who represents whom and the services offered, describing the different brokerage relationships and the duties owed to clients versus customers. This disclosure is required by Texas law and TREC rules to help consumers understand their options and protections at the start of any real estate interaction. The other options don’t match the official term or purpose—none of them reflect the actual name of the disclosure used in Texas real estate.
