It was great being addressed yesterday from Real Estate Commissioner Judy Lowe at our Superstition Mountain WCR September Business Resource Luncheon. She had lots of information to share with our Chapter. Here are just a few of the things she discussed.
She wanted us to inform other agents to be aware of the 24 hour continuing education hours required every 2 years.
She wants to move back licensing to every 2 years again instead of 4 years.
The majority of the complaints that the board receives is for advertising.
She encouraged us as REALTORS® to communicate with each other before we call a complaint in.
There have been no property management audits in the last year. She is looking to change the way audits are done.
Wants full Broker audits to be put back into effect.
The boards # 1 complaint is property management fraud/
More questions for Sales pre licensing test.
Make Broker test completely different from Sales test.
Have a provisionary license so that new licensees will be able to get exposure to real estate.
She is looking at the process of becoming an instructor, monitoring, school, and the content of a course.
They are looking for volunteers at the Board, email mutley@azre.gov
Looking for these changes to happen as soon as 2010 fiscal year.
Hope to see you at our next event on Thursday, September 24 @ 5pm for Family Night at Peter Piper Pizza on Baseline and Ellsworth. Email Susan Anderson for information at Susan@advisorsaz.com
