Benefits of joining TRETA

While it would be impossible to join and participate in every available community, selecting one or two to become involved with can have a positive impact on your education business. Joining the Texas Real Estate Teachers Association will help you grow as an education professional.

Though TRETA is comprised mainly of real estate education professionals in Texas, we also have members from nearby states such as Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma and even Canada!

Our mission is to help you grow as an educator and give you the information and tools you need to be a better teacher, run a better business, and use the latest tools to give relevant information to your students.

TRETA is about sharing information and experience to make our industry better and that comes from you! Whether you are new to the real estate education industry or you have been teaching for decades, TRETA is the place for you.

We value your input and your membership. TRETA is about YOU!
