SB 1173 Pennsylvania Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of February 19, 1980 (P.L.15, No.9), known as the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act, in definitions, further providing for definitions; in application of the act and penalties, further providing for exclusions; and, in duties of licensees, providing for right to cancel sales agreements or sales contracts for wholesale transactions.

This law updates the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act to clarify how sales agreements can be canceled in wholesale real estate deals. It specifically allows brokers and salespeople to cancel these contracts if they are sent electronically, treating digital transmission the same as traditional mail. The changes also refine the definition of "valuable monetary consideration" within the act to ensure consistency across different sections. By adjusting these definitions and procedures, the bill aims to provide clearer rules for real estate professionals handling wholesale transactions.
