What’s in it

This bill relates to the license application form for real estate brokers and salespersons, and brokerage agreement requirements. Under the bill, an application form for a license must allow a person holding a real estate broker license who is applying for a real estate salesperson license, or vice versa, to indicate whether the license being applied for shall become effective upon approval of the application or upon the expiration of the applicant’s current license. Under the bill, brokerage agreement requirements under current law that apply to a buyer shall not apply to customers attending an open house, to a potential buyer of a property of more than four units, or to a property that is not intended for human inhabitance.
