hello! Pls advise if licensed brokers who failed to register with PRC will still have a chance to do it after the lapse of the period given under the existing law?
[From RESAR] From what we’ve heard, the deadline has passed. This means that you will need to pass a REB Exam again.
I already prepare all requirements for accredited as salesperson, including cpe 60hrs. Im presently connected in prestige developer for almost 6yrs as an sales agent, but i only finished high school, Unfortunately, they dont want to give certification 60 hrs of traning or fieldwork as prc requirement category 3, my concern. is that possible for me to get an accreditation as a salesperson from prc? or what can you advice? because deadline is fast approaching. Thank you!
About the deadline… If you’re unable to get accredited as a real estate salesperson by the PRC by the end of December 2011, you can still get accredited next year.
We don’t speak for the PRC, but our interpretation is that if you’re not accredited by December 31, 2011 then you will not be allowed to practice as a real estate professional until you have finally gotten accreditation.
Thanks!
may i ask if i can have a licence by having a certification from a bank as appraiser. am 1.5 yrs as permanent mun. assessor instant
The deadline for PRC Registration without examination has already lapsed.
Thanks!
On Sec. 20-C, what is that 10 yrs? do I need to hold a 10 yrs. length of service in a permanent status on the date of the effectivity of the Act, or I just need a 10 yrs. actual experience in real property appraisal even if I have a 3 months. temporary status of appointment last Aug. 2003-Oct.2003.My work at the Municipal Assessor started July 16, 1999.The RESa took effect on July 30, 2009 if I calculate my 10 yrs. length of service, I lack 2 and a half mos. for 10 yrs. Would that mean for disqualification?
Section 20 (c) applies to assessors and appraisers who, as of 30 July 2009, hold permanent appointments.
Our question is: Last July 30, 2009, we you holding a Permanent Appointment?
If yes, then Section 20 (c) applies to you.
Now the other requirements such as:
– At least ten (10) years actual experience in real property appraisal or assessment
– Completion of at least one hundred twenty (120) hours of accredited training on real property appraisal conducted by national or international appraisal organizations or institutions/entities duly certified by the Department of Finance (DOF) or other pertinent national government agencies or Government Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCC) as the case may be, recognized by the PRBRES
– Completion of 24 CPE units
…these requirements, in our opinion, are not required as of July 30, 2009.
Instead, the documentation proving that you have earned or completed the above must be compiled prior to your application for registration at the PRC (without examination).
Again, we are not lawyers, and the above is our interpretation of the RESA Law IRR.
Thanks!

tanx!
how could i apply for a PRC accreditation as sales person, i will be attending a 12 units CPE soon and had been a sales agent for about two years but, i am a bsc-actg grad. thanks
[From the Admin] We are waiting for the PRC guidelines on the accreditation of salespeople. But if it will be similar to real estate brokers who want to register with the PRC (without having to take an exam), then please see STEP-BY-STEP PRC APPLICATION for REGISTRATION WITHOUT EXAMINATION
By a Licensed Real Estate Broker
Im an RPAO passer working in an LGU for more than 25 years. I got more than 120 hrs of assessment & appraisal trainings. I want to avail license thru registration w/o examination. My problem is i do not have 24 CEP units as required. Please advise me what to do.
[From the Admin] Perhaps you can get in touch with Ms. Grace. For details, please see http://www.realestateseminarandreview.com/archives/resa-irr-and-cpe-september-2010/
I attended and completed the attendance of the comprehensive real estate seminar and review conducted by the IRESPHIL,REBAP-Pasig chapter last Nov 10,2001,but was not able to take the board exam due to unevitable circumstances.Im presently working in a broker and his policy is to let all of us under him to attend a days seminar or training before we can proceed to PRC for our accreditation,my question is,do i still have to take a new seminar intended for a sales person?Do i still need to be enrolled in another review class or will they just allow me to sit in before taking the board exam this coming December,Thanks.
[From the Admin] It looks like you will have the necessary training courtesy of your broker, when you apply for PRC-accreditation as sales people. For the real estate brokers’ exam, however, you will need to get a Certificate of Attendance/Completion of a Comprehensive Real Estate Seminar and Review course conducted by an accredited review service provider. We will post those skeds as soon as we hear from the accredited review service providers. Thanks!
Im planning to take the brokers exam if there is this coming December.Will it not be complicated if i get my PRC accreditation as soon as possible as a sales person of a broker presently.i will be looking forward for your good advise,thanks.More power to your program.
[From the Admin] Don’t worry… Those are two separate items. You can be a sales person today, and then become a real estate broker in the future. Once you are PRC-registered as a sales person, and then later become a REB, you can then decide whether you will still continue being a sales person, or if you will become a full-time REB.
gud eveng .am i correct before we take an board exam. of real estate broker ,wehave to attained a siminars or units?
[From the Admin] You are correct. You will need to get a Certificate of Attendance/Completion of the required number of units from an accredited review service provider, in order to secure an Exam Permit for the real estate brokers’ exam.
gud evng ,when and what year should you conduct prc, real estate broker examination
[From the Admin] Ideally, at least 4 months before the month of the actual exam. At the latest, 2 months before the month of the actual exam, because your exam permit should be ready at least 3 weeks before the exam.
Some clarification pls. I took the Real Brokers Licensure Exam last 1986 from DTI and had my license on the same year. I renewed for almost three years only. Since then i stopped renewing it since i was employed by a developer and still working with the developer.
Now i would like to apply for a license without examination with PRC, would i qualify? If yes, how many CEP units would you think i need?
Secondly, all my DTI documents were all washed away by Ondoy. What would you advice me to do to show proof that i got my DTI license?
Third, I have been hearing a lot of Realty Boards initiating trainings for CEP Units, are they PRC accredited service providers? I mean, does PRC already have a list of accredited service providers for CEP units?
Thank you.
[From the Admin] According to Section 20 (a) 2 of the RESA Law IRR on “Registration Without Examination”, the following real estate practitioners shall be allowed to register — “Those who failed to renew their DTI License prior to 30 July 2009 but who have earned twenty-four (24) CEP credit units from accredited service providers as per M.O. 39 or CPE credit units from CPE Council Accredited Provider from 2007 to July 30, 2011;”
Perhaps you may visit the office of the DTI to get hold of a replacement of your lost DTI license.
We are waiting for the PRC to release a list of accredited CEP/CPE service providers, and we will publish it as soon as we get hold of it. Thanks!
I would like to know how can I be able to take the exam for appraisers. I have been a real estate broker for 14 years now and just recently finished my 24 credit units seminar and I now on the process of filing my REB license with PRC. Is it necessary for me to take up a 120 credit units for appraisers or not anymore? Please advise also about the availability of appraiser’s exam review. Thank you.
[From the Admin] We are awaiting clarificatory guidelines from the PRC regarding real estate appraisers.
