What is the primary source of appointment for real estate commissioners?

The primary source of appointment for real estate commissioners is indeed the state government. In Wyoming, as in many states, the real estate commission operates under the authority of state laws and regulations. The state government is responsible for establishing the commission, determining its structure, and appointing its members.

Real estate commissioners typically oversee the licensing of real estate professionals, establish standards of practice, and ensure compliance with state real estate laws. Their authority is derived from state statutes, which means that the state government is the key entity responsible for their appointment and the regulatory framework in which they operate.

Local governments, federal agencies, and private organizations do not have the same role or authority in appointing real estate commissioners. Local governments may have their own regulations related to real estate, but they do not have the authority to appoint commissioners at the state level. Federal agencies may govern broader real estate practices (like those affecting federally funded housing), but they do not appoint state commissioners. Private organizations might influence practices or standards but do not have the legal authority to appoint real estate commissioners. Thus, the state government is the correct and most appropriate source for the appointment of real estate commissioners.
