The Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE) protects the public interest through
licensure and regulation of the real estate profession in Arizona. ADRE, under direction of
the Real Estate Commissioner (Commissioner), is responsible for: 1) licensing and regulating
real estate, cemetery and membership camping salespersons and brokers; 2) investigating
complaints from the public and licensees regarding real estate transactions; 3) ensuring
enforcement of real estate statutes and rules; 4) providing proper educational material to
guide and assist the public and licensees; 5) issues public reports for timeshares, subdivisions
and unsubdivided land; and 6) inspects brokers’ records and transactions to ensure
compliance with statutory requirements.

this state to purchase a timeshare interest or any person who creates a timeshare plan with
an accommodation in this state, whether or not the plan is sold or offered for sale in this
state, must register a notice of intent to sell and application for a public report with ADRE
(A.R.S. § 32-2197.02).
