Ready to set up your Real Estate and Appraiser License Management Portal (REALM Portal) account? You will need a REALM Portal account to manage your real estate license, apply for licensure, or file complaints. This brief video explains how to get started.

License holders should have received an activation email with important information on setting up a REALM Portal account. Those who have multiple licenses, registrations, or applications may have received multiple emails. Refer to the State ID(s) or PIN Number(s) in each email to successfully connect records to one REALM Portal account.

The original activation email came from no-reply@notices.trec.texas.gov and outlined how to activate and create your new REALM Portal account. We have received reports of people not having received this email. If you are a new applicant, you can start from scratch in the REALM Portal. 

Step 1: Create a REALM Portal account (jump to Step 2 if you already did this)

Visit this link. Select “Register for an Account” in the upper-right corner of the screen or click “Create an Account” at the bottom of the Sign In box.

Step 2: Check whether your records are already linked

After registering, log in to the REALM Portal and click the Licenses tab at the top of the page. If you see your licenses, applications, or other records, you’re all set—no further action is needed.

If you did not receive the activation email and your licenses do not appear after creating an account using your email address, contact us for assistance. Please email us with the subject line "Missing Activation Email" and include your name, license number, and contact information.
