2026 Spring Educators Conference Agenda: The Director of Education and Licensing reported that the annual Spring Educators Conference was held on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at the McKimmon Center in Raleigh. Approximately 300 people attended, making it the largest education conference in the country. The Director of Education and Licensing reported that income from the event exceeded expenses by $6,079. The Director of Education and Licensing commended the Logistics and Programs Manager for coordinating the event, the Communications Officer for integrating AI into the content, and the Chair, Vice Chair, the Executive Director, the Director of Regulatory Affairs, the Assistant Director of Regulatory Affairs, and the Education and Licensing staff for their respective presentations. Mr. Black, Ms. O’Connor, and Mr. Aceto commended the staff for the day’s events.

Upcoming Renewal Season: The Director of Education and Licensing reported on staff preparation for the May 15 – June 30 license renewal season, noting that it is highly automated and includes the $5.00 fee increase previously approved by the Commission. He further reported that of the 107,401 currently licensed individual brokers, approximately 80,000 are active and, as of April 1, 57,000 of those active brokers still need CE, with 41,000 needing both the Update course and an elective. He also reported on a new feature in this year’s renewal process, namely, the inclusion of an invoice with the notice in order to remind licensees to pay their renewal by the June 30 due date. He commended the IT team for their assistance in the online renewal process.

License Services Update: The Director of Education and Licensing reported that in compliance with a state statute passed last fall requiring verification of all license applicants’ social security numbers with the federal Social Security Administration, verification has been incorporated into the background checks with the Commission’s current vendor, CRC. He noted that even though the applicant must provide a “wet” signature, the process has gone smoothly to date.

Email Change Notices: The Director of Education and Licensing reported that on April 8, staff stopped using the printed and mailed change notices; all notices are now electronic. This will save the Commission approximately $300,000 in paper, postage and related costs. He commended all License Services staff, led by the License Services Officer, on their contributions to this project.

Monthly Financial Report, Quarterly Investment, and Education & Recovery Fund Report: The Commission received the monthly Financial Report, Quarterly Investment Report, and Education & Recovery Fund Report presented by the Chief Financial Officer for the period ending March 31, 2026. The Chief Financial Officer noted that revenues are ahead of projections; expenses are generally at or below projections except for “temp to perm” employees. This expense is offset by a reduction in payroll expenses.

Draft Changes to Limited Commercial License Rules: The Compliance Manager presented draft changes to the Limited Commercial License Rules. Upon a motion from Mr. Bell, the Commission approved the proposed rule text for public comment. The Compliance Manager provided an overview of the rulemaking project’s status and timeline. After discussion, the Commission voted to move the effective date of the proposed limited commercial license rules to January 1, 2027.

2027 Draft Legislation – Jurisdiction and Wholesaling: The Director of Regulatory Affairs provided members with draft legislation addressing wholesaling and the Commission’s jurisdiction and reminded the Commission that legislation on this topic has been introduced in another bill pending before the General Assembly, which includes somewhat different provisions [H797]. Upon a motion from Mr. Alston, the Commission approved the draft legislation as presented in Exhibit 8. Mr. Bell dissented, noting there was insufficient time to review the draft in detail.

Revised Square Footage Guidelines: The Director of Regulatory Affairs provided the members with a handout containing all comments received on the revised Square Footage Guidelines.

At the request of Mr. Aceto, Mr. Vic Knight addressed the difference between the Commission’s Guidelines and the ANSI standards, and the history behind the Commission’s determination to date not to adopt the ANSI Standards. He noted the Commission’s Guidelines are voluntary and that brokers can choose to follow the ANSI Standards instead. He also addressed the technical nature of the Standards, their purpose in helping to determine value rather than merely square footage, and the cost to licensees of acquiring and following the Standards.

The Director of Regulatory Affairs addressed comments concerning the inclusion of both above-grade and below-grade space in the heated living area. She reported that the Commission does not receive complaints on this topic or on differences between the square footage reported by appraisers versus brokers.  She suggested that the Square Footage Guidelines remain sufficient for brokers’ use.  

Mr. Black noted the coming changes in the appraisal process and form and provided insight on appraisers’ assessments of various categories of above and below-grade square footage in determining value, along with its function, flow, and finish, among other things. He also made suggestions for design changes to the front cover.

Mr. Knight commended the staff on the publication draft. Mr. Aceto asked that staff consolidate the comments for review at the May Commission meeting.

Periodic Review of Rules Report with Final Determination of Rules: The Compliance Manager reminded the Commission that North Carolina requires state agencies to conduct a “periodic review” of all administrative rules every 10 years and to classify rules as either “necessary” (retained) or “unnecessary” (obsolete). The Compliance Manager noted that the Commission had made a preliminary determination in December 2025, that all its rules remain “necessary.” A 60-day public comment period followed, during which time one comment was received. After review, upon the motion of Ms. O’Connor, the Commission voted to approve the Report with final determinations of “necessary” for all rules. The Report will be submitted to the Rules Review Commission (RRC) at its June 25, 2026, meeting.

Rule 58A .0110 Revisions: The Director of Regulatory Affairs reviewed proposed changes to Rule A .0110 stemming from the Commission’s discussions of the appropriate “span of control” of a broker-in-charge (BIC). Ms. O’Connor suggested that the maximum number of brokers who could be affiliated with a BIC who supervises more than one office be changed from 50 to 100 in subsection (a)(1). Mr. Black suggested that the Policy and Procedures manual requirements include an express reference to discovery and disclosure of material facts in subsection (g)(11). Upon the motion of Mr. Alston, the Commission approved the rule for publication as presented with  the changes suggested by Ms. O’Connor and Mr. Black noted above, and with an effective date of July 1, 2027.

2027 Draft Legislation – Jurisdiction and Wholesaling: The Director of Regulatory Affairs introduced draft legislation to the Commission addressing wholesaling and the Commission’s jurisdiction, noting that legislation on this topic has been introduced in another bill pending before the General Assembly but including somewhat different provisions [H797]. The Commission requested that the Director of Regulatory Affairs provide the members with a comparison of the two bills at the April Meeting. The Commission also requested information about other states’ wholesaling legislation.

Revised Square Footage Guidelines: Mr. Aceto reminded the Commission that one of his goals as Chair is to update the Commission’s Square Footage Guidelines. Mr. Vic Knight reviewed with the Commission a preliminary draft of the revisions which included a reorganization of the existing text, along with edits and updates to address modern practice, and common situations where brokers need guidance. Mr. Knight commended the Communications Officer on her work with formatting, updating, and incorporating sketches in the revised booklet.
