Navigating the legal and regulatory landscape as a real estate agent or broker in California can be complex and challenging. Business & Real Estate Law Firm PC offers specialized legal services tailored to the unique needs of real estate professionals, ensuring compliance, protecting your reputation, and addressing disputes effectively.
- Broker Policy Manuals
A comprehensive and compliant broker policy manual is essential for managing your business and maintaining regulatory standards. We draft and review policy manuals that address office operations, agent supervision, ethics, and legal compliance, tailored to your specific brokerage.
- Broker Supervision
California law imposes strict supervision requirements on brokers. We provide legal advice on implementing and maintaining effective supervision practices to comply with the California Department of Real Estate (DRE) regulations and protect your business from liability.
- Fiduciary and Professional Obligations
Real estate professionals are held to high fiduciary and professional standards. We counsel brokers and agents on their obligations to clients, ensuring adherence to best practices and minimizing the risk of disputes or claims.
- Ethics Hearings
Allegations of unethical behavior can damage your career and reputation. We represent clients in ethics hearings before professional associations, such as local Realtor® boards, advocating for fair outcomes and protecting your professional standing.
- Complex Listing Agreements and Commission Agreements
We assist in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating complex listing and commission agreements to clearly define terms, protect your interests, and reduce the potential for disputes.
- Department of Real Estate (DRE) Investigation Inquiries and Accusation Defense
Facing a DRE investigation or accusation can be intimidating. We guide real estate professionals through the investigation process, respond to inquiries, and provide strong defense representation to protect your license and career.
- Reinstatement
If your real estate license has been revoked or suspended, we can assist with reinstatement applications, presenting compelling evidence and arguments to the DRE to restore your ability to practice.
