BILL PASSES SENATE THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR AUCTIONEERS
SANTA FE (KSMX) – A bill passed the Senate 39-0 that would give more peace of mind to consumers. Senator Pat Woods of Broadview introduced SB 120, which is a consumer protection bill because people bidding on real property will be better protected if a real estate broker is involved. Under the bill, auctioneers who sell real estate by auction do not need a real estate license but they will need to work under the control of a qualifying broker and have a written agreement under a real estate broker. The bill is needed to clarify a recent 2016 AG advisory opinion that stated an auctioneer could only conduct a real estate auction with a real estate license.
