How often does the Iowa Real Estate Commission publish the names of licensed individuals?

  1. Monthly

  2. Quarterly

  3. At least annually

  4. Biannually

The correct answer is: At least annually

The Iowa Real Estate Commission is responsible for maintaining transparency and accountability within the real estate industry. To ensure licensees are easily identifiable and to inform the public, the Commission publishes a list of licensed individuals at least once a year. This annual publication allows consumers to verify the credentials of real estate professionals and promotes trust in the industry. The other frequency options—monthly, quarterly, and biannually—do not align with the Commission's established practice, as publishing names at those intervals would require significantly more operational resources and might not be necessary given the relatively stable nature of licensing compared to other regulatory activities in real estate. Thus, the annual release strikes a balance between accessibility of information and the practicality of maintaining it.
