The real estate commission PA regulates the licensing and appraisal of Pennsylvania's real estate agents, brokers, and appraisers. Before you can become a realty broker or agent, you need to first apply for your license. The application process includes submitting a completed application and a fee.

You may need to take courses depending on where you live to obtain a license. These courses vary from the basic principles of real estate law and ethics to more advanced topics. Also, you must pass the broker examination.
After completing the educational requirements, you must have at least two years' active license experience in Pennsylvania before being licensed to become a real-estate broker. You must prove that you are an alien legal resident if you are not a citizen of the United States. The license renewal fee is three hundred seventy-five dollar.
You will also need to meet the minimum education requirements to work in Pennsylvania. You will need to show proof of your education and license during the application process.
You must register with the commission to change your employment and affiliation. Licensees selling real estate must pay $25 to register. Additionally, agents and licensed real estate brokers must pay a three dollar renewal fee to the Real Estate Guaranty Fund each year.
The commission's task is to ensure that all licensed real-estate agents comply with state regulations. The commission can revoke an agent's license. If an agent refuses a license application, the commission could file an action against him. For example, if the commission finds that a broker or agent has lied about his credentials, he could be subject to a fine.
Arbitration is available by the commission for any broker-broker dispute. An agent can appeal any decision of the commission. An agent can appeal a commission decision within 30 days. The Florida Securities Commission can also be appealed. This commission will resolve disputes between a seller or broker.
Section 20-311b of the statute describes the duties of the commission. The section 20-311f covers arbitration between brokers. A person who files a complaint that is false or inaccurate shall be fined not less than $200. In the same way, anyone who fails or refuses to answer an order from the commission can be fined. A person who is defrauded or abused by an appraiser manager or salesperson will be entitled for twenty-five thousand dollars.
Many legal changes have occurred since the formation of the commission. Although the majority of these amendments were technical, some substantive changes were made. Some of these amendments have been removed. The following amendments are no longer in effect: 81-178 which raised the fee for transferring a license from three dollars to ten dollars; 1989-251 which increased it to fifteen dollars; and 1993-354 which deleted references to the real property appraisal commission.
