Representation For Real Estate Professionals
Obtaining and protecting your real estate license is essential to your livelihood and requires a clear understanding of licensing law. At Triangle Law Group, we have firsthand experience with all issues related to real estate licenses. Triangle Law Group can help real estate brokers with:
- Completing the licensing application and counseling applicants on what material facts to provide
- Applying for renewals if a legal issue has arisen in the past year
- Helping achieve reinstatement of a real estate broker’s license with the North Carolina Real Estate Commission by appealing any revocation, lapse or suspension
- Responding to complaints filed with the North Carolina Real Estate Commission and defending brokers in administrative hearings
- Filing a lawsuit to recover commissions owed or for other relief
- Defending lawsuits brought by former customers or others
- Reviewing and drafting necessary legal documents associated with short sales
Realtors Cannot Practice Law
One important issue for real estate brokers to recognize is that they cannot practice law unless they have a law license. Brokers should contact an attorney to advise their clients on legal issues related to short sales. Failure to adequately protect your client could pose a serious threat to your real estate license.
A Lawyer And A Realtor
Laurie Gengo, the owner of Triangle Law Group, is an attorney and licensed real estate broker who runs her own real estate firm. She regularly attends required and elective continuing education courses to keep up to date with new developments. This allows her to represent her broker clients more effectively than most attorneys. Laurie understands the nuances of North Carolina licensing law and the detailed obligations applicable to real estate brokers.
Protecting Your License After A Complaint
Triangle Law Group helps real estate brokers obtain, maintain and defend their licenses and protect their most important asset — their ability to make a living. If a complaint is raised against you, we will do our best to negotiate a settlement that minimizes the impact on your license. If the issue is raised before the North Carolina Real Estate Commission, we can perform appropriate, timely investigations and inquiries, draft a response to the complaints and represent you at any disciplinary hearings.
The commission hearing is informal, but the result can be a revocation or suspension of your license. There are also deadlines for responding to inquiries from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission and for scheduling hearings, so it is important to comply with these deadlines. Contact Laurie B. Gengo and Triangle Law Group as soon as you receive such a notice.
