Commission forms Vacation Rental Advisory Committee

The Real Estate Commission has formed a committee to study issues related to vacation rental management in North Carolina.

The ad hoc committee will examine especially the Real Estate License Law, Real Estate Commission rules and other state laws to see how they apply to vacation rental management, and then will recommend to the Commission any changes which may be needed to address the special concerns of vacation rental consumers and managers

Serving on the committee are real estate licensees J. Alan Holden (Supply), Kim Johnson (Blowing Rock), Timothy Midgett (Hatteras) and "Buddy" Rudd, Jr. (Southport). Also serving are David Kirkman from the Consumer Protection Section of the North Carolina Attorney General's Office and Bill Rowe from North Carolina Justice & Community Development Center.

The Vacation Rental Advisory Committee is scheduled to submit its report to the Commission in 1999.
