Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission Industry Member Vacancy

As the voice for real estate in the commonwealth, PAR routinely seeks appointments to licensing agencies, as well as other groups that impact real estate and economic development. Of particular focus is the Pennsylvania State Real Estate Commission which oversees real estate licensing in Pennsylvania. The SREC is made up of 11 members, including five members who are licensed and qualified real estate brokers and have been engaged in the real estate business in the commonwealth for a period of not less than 10 years immediately prior to appointment.

The SREC has a vacancy for one of the five industry members on the commission as of the beginning of 2024. PAR has a detailed process approved by the board of directors that addresses requests for support for appointments. Any member interested in being considered for PAR’s support should review the process and submit an application below.

The application deadline is 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 1, 2024.

All applications are initially reviewed by PAR’s Public Policy Coordinating Committee. The committee shall assess each applicant’s educational background and experience, together with all other pertinent information provided through the application. This assessment may include contacting relevant individuals and groups such as professional colleagues and PAR committee members to verify the scope of the applicant’s qualifications. The committee is encouraged to submit one name for a vacancy to the Executive Committee for consideration for PAR support. However, where the qualifications of the applicants are similar or close in terms of applicant strength, the committee, in its discretion, may submit up to three names to the Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee will consider for approval those applicants proposed by the committee pursuant to the preceding paragraph. The Executive Committee may approve any or all of the applicants whose names have been submitted by the Public Policy Coordinating Committee. Once the Executive Committee has decided on which applicant(s) to support, PAR staff will notify the selected individual(s) and will also send a letter to the appropriate appointing authority with the name or names of the individual(s) supported by PAR, and shall include resume(s) and other supporting documentation.
