DALIANIS, J. The petitioner, Dale Robinson, appeals the order of the Superior Court (Mangones, J.) granting the motion to dismiss filed by the respondent, the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission (Commission), and denying his motion for summary judgment. Both motions concerned a single issue: whether the Commission had jurisdiction to hold a hearing on a complaint alleging that the petitioner engaged in misconduct when selling his own property. See RSA 331-A:4, I (2004). The trial court ruled that the Commission had jurisdiction. We reverse.

HICKS, J. The petitioner, Lawrence J. Dupont, appeals an order of the Superior Court (Smukler, J.) upholding a decision of the respondent, New Hampshire Real Estate Commission (commission), sanctioning him for violating provisions of the New Hampshire Real Estate Practice Act (the Act) in connection with a sales agreement involving a manufactured home. See RSA ch. 331-A (2004 & Supp. 2007). Dupont argues that paragraphs I and VII of RSA 331-A:4 exempt him from the Act’s requirements. See RSA 331-A:4, I, VII (2004). We affirm.
