Delaware Administrative Code 2900 — RE Commission Rules

About This Book

Delaware Administrative Code 2900 establishes the rules governing the Delaware Real Estate Commission, with a primary focus on protecting the public, overseeing licensing, and setting clear standards for real estate brokers, salespersons, and industry practices.

Key provisions include:

Broker Supervision: Employing brokers bear full responsibility for ensuring that all salespersons and associate brokers under their supervision are properly licensed, complete renewals on time, and fulfill continuing education requirements.

Examination Limits: Salesperson applicants must pass both the general and state portions of the licensing exam within three attempts. Those who fail to do so are required to retake the pre-licensing course before trying again.

Property Management Exemption: Individuals performing property management duties — such as showing units, collecting rent, and handling routine maintenance — are exempt from real estate licensing requirements, provided they operate within specific, limited criteria.

Business and Advertising Standards: All listing agreements must be executed in writing. Any office location must obtain an office permit and display a permanent sign that prominently features the supervising brokerage's name before any team names.

Disclosures: When a seller qualifies for an exemption from providing a Condition Report or Radon Disclosure, the licensee must obtain a specific certification in its place prior to accepting a written listing agreement.
