Inside this issue
  Nevada Real Estate Commission fills Washoe County seat  
  The Nevada Real Estate Division announced the latest appointment to its five-member commission. Reno's Darrell Plummer will serve as the Washoe County appointee to the commission. His three-year term will run from Nov. 1, 2019 through Oct. 31 of 2022. Plummer is the broker/owner of Sierra Nevada Properties and has been with his firm for nearly 25 years. Plummer is a University of Nevada graduate.

One seat, which must be filled by a Clark County representative, remains unfilled on the Nevada Real Estate Commission. Commissioner Neil Schwartz will continue to serve in that position until it is filled. Commission rules say three members must reside in or have a principal place of business located in Clark County. One member must reside in or have a principal place of business in Washoe County; and one member must reside in or have a principal place of business located in Carson City or Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Pershing, Storey or White Pine County.

Nevada's Real Estate Commission is appointed by the governor and acts in an advisory capacity to the Division, adopts regulations, and conducts disciplinary hearings.
