The Division is staffed by 40 professionals in Columbus and Cleveland who carry out rules handed down during the monthly Real Estate Commission meetings. Staffers process initial applications and renewals of more than 45,000 real estate licensees annually, monitor the Anne M. Petit quality of continuing education courses and ensure the necessary credit has been obtained by license renewals. Superintendent Ohio Real Estate Commission The Ohio Real Estate Commission is a five-member group, appointed by the Governor, that meets once a month in the Division offices. Four of the five must be active brokers. Commissioners set licensing requirements, make rules concerning licensees, handle complaints about violations of state laws and regulations and suspend and revoke licenses. Commissioners also certify courses for continuing education credit and oversee the special Recovery Account. The members of the Commission are: Vacant 7/1/2015 - 6/30/20 Mary TenEyck Taylor MTE Taylor Law Firm, LLC 903 S. Remington Rd.

The Board is the last stop for disputes over licenses and over licensees’ actions. It can choose to renew licenses for appraisers who miss renewal deadlines; it can revoke or suspend licenses when it determines appraisers violated appraisal laws. The Board is a Governor-appointed panel with rule making authority over the group it regulates—the appraisers. The state Legislature enacts laws concerning appraisers, such as how many hours the state requires for licensing and certification; Board members set specific policies to carry out those laws. Its Cleveland based staff of five—known as the Appraisal Section—is an arm of the Ohio Division of Real Estate. Donald Leto John D. McIntyre Elizabeth (Beth) Sigg Appraisal Service, Inc.
