Date of Proposal:     October 7, 2002

Proposal Number:     PRN 2002-347

Proposal Summary:
The New Jersey State Board of Real Estate Appraisers is proposing new rule N.J.A.C. 13:40A-7.5 to establish that a licensed real estate appraiser, who also maintains licensure as a real estate broker and/or salesperson, cannot perform an appraisal upon a property and act in the dual capacities of real estate appraiser and broker and/or salesperson. The proposed rule would also prohibit the licensee from being employed by the broker or work with any salesperson who works for the employing broker. The new rule is designed to avoid the potential conflict of interest that may exist in such transactions.
