What does the license certificate issued by the commission include?

The license certificate issued by the commission includes significant identifying information about the licensee associated with it. One of the crucial elements on the certificate is the name of the brokerage. This is important as it indicates the real estate firm with which the licensee is affiliated, showcasing the organizational structure of the real estate industry in West Virginia. The brokerage name serves as a formal recognition of the licensed agent's professional association and is vital for accountability and transparency in real estate transactions.

Including the brokerage name helps consumers identify who they are working with and ensures that they know the licensed entities responsible for the agent’s actions. This information is crucial for maintaining professional standards and ethical practices within the industry. The commission prioritizes this information to uphold the integrity of the real estate process and facilitate trust between agents and their clients.
