With deep regret, the Real Estate Commission announces the recent death of James E. "Jim" Poole, Jr., of Raleigh. Mr. Poole served as Director of the Commission's Appraiser Licensing and Certification Division prior to the Appraisal Board's separation from the Commission.

He was the Appraisal Board's first Executive Director, but had stepped down from that position due to health reasons.

The Commission extends deepest sympathy to Mr. Poole's family.
