Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Two Years
Two-year terms are too short for effective board governance. This length would result in excessive turnover, potentially disrupting continuity in regulatory enforcement and policy development for Massachusetts real estate practices.
Three Years
Three-year terms, while common in some jurisdictions, are not the standard for Massachusetts real estate board members. The state specifically mandates five-year terms to ensure consistent regulatory direction.
Five Years
Seven Years
Seven-year terms would create excessive continuity and potentially limit fresh perspectives on the board. Massachusetts law specifically establishes five-year terms, not seven-year terms, for real estate board members.
Why is this correct?
Massachusetts law establishes five-year terms for Board of Registration of Real Estate Brokers and Salesmembers members. This term length provides appropriate continuity for regulatory oversight while allowing for periodic refreshment of perspectives and expertise on the board.
