Bill > HB2210

This bill modifies the composition and qualification requirements for the Virginia Real Estate Board, increasing the professional experience requirement for licensed real estate brokers and salespersons from five to seven consecutive years before appointment. The bill also introduces new, more specific qualifications for board members who are licensed professionals, requiring that at least one member have expertise in residential property management and that each licensed member demonstrate additional professional capabilities. These capabilities can include experience in real estate credentialing, certification as a real estate instructor by the Board, or training in adjudicating other real estate licensees. The board will continue to consist of nine total members: seven licensed professionals and two citizen members, with members serving four-year terms. The bill explicitly states that current board appointments with unexpired terms will not be affected by these new requirements, ensuring a smooth transition to the updated membership standards.
