PA Designation

Many real estate agents have a PA designation. Can anyone explain what that is? I know Public Accountant, Physicians Assistant, but I know several agents and they have not been to medical or law school. One person told me it is related to business, like an LLC, but I can't find one answer that satisfies me, any ideas?

hmm, that is a designation that I have never seen. It is not listed on the NAR or the CREA site as a recognized designation. Maybe someone just made it up.

P.A. is a Professional Association, according to Florida law. Nick Spradlin explains it as "a person or group of people, all of whom are required by law to be licensed in their profession...incorporated for the purpose of rendering the same professional service to the public." He goes on to explain the tax benefits of being a P.A.

So does that mean it doesn't really mean anything? Do you have to earn the PA designation, or can anybody use it?
