Hi, I'm Don Jones.
I have been practicing real estate law since 1988 and helping people like you get the business freedom that they need for years. Licensed to practice before state and federal courts in Texas, Louisiana and Kentucky, I have a background and expertise that current Sponsoring Broker agents are able to tap into to move their real estate careers further. And if it matters, I am a partner with Wilensky & Jones, LLP, a law firm specializing in real estate, and I have participated real estate transactions in 49 of 50 states.
"The savings in money I paid annually in desk fees was more than enough to cover the expense of setting up our new brokerage. What an incredible opportunity! And the best part of the whole organization is that Don is a sincere and genuine person who is very easy to work with."
~ David O.
"I looked everywhere and couldn't find anyone to sponsor me on my terms for a reasonable amount of money until I found Don Jones. With Don's sponsorship, I own my own company, have the latitude that I need for my business and it all comes at an affordable price. What else could an agent ask for?"
~ Ferguson Realtors
"I recently decided to pursue my real estate career full time. But I had a dilemma: Do I invest marketing dollars into a brokerage I might leave in a few months? Don Jones was the answer. With just one phone call, I am now able to invest my marketing dollars towards branding my own company and name."
~ ARCOA Properties

What about my license?All that you need is a Texas Salespersons license. An individual broker’s license is not required.

In other words, John Doe can form and own a licensed real estate brokerage named “John Doe Real Estate Brokerage, LLC” or “John Doe Realty, LLC,” provided that an alternate assumed name is used in conjunction.
-
How long does the setup process take?It takes about 15-20 days to receive a TREC LLC Brokers license.
