Which notice must be given at the first substantive conversation about a property?

In Texas real estate practice, the notice about the broker’s services—the IABS notice—must be provided at the first substantive conversation about a property. This notice clarifies who the broker represents, the types of brokerage relationships available, and the services offered, so the consumer understands the relationship before discussing terms or specifics of the property. The Property Condition Disclosure is a seller-provided form about known defects and is typically given later in the process. The Equal Opportunity Notice relates to fair housing compliance and is important in advertising and general duties, but it isn’t the specific notice required at the initial substantive contact about a property.
