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.
