Legal Enforcement and Penalties
Q: Beyond the disciplinary sanctions from the Real Estate Commission, what
other legal action can a licensee face in DC Superior Court?
A: ✔✔ Injunction. If a licensee is suspected of ongoing violations that could harm
the public, the Attorney General for the District of Columbia may petition the
Superior Court for an injunction. This is a court order that legally forces the
licensee to stop a specific action immediately (e.g., stop advertising a property they
do not have a listing for).
Real Estate Guaranty and Education Fund
Q: How often are DC real estate licensees required to contribute to the
Guaranty and Education Fund?
A: ✔✔ Upon initial licensure and at every renewal. Every time you apply for
your license or renew it (every two years), a portion of your fee is deposited into
this fund.
Purpose: The fund compensates consumers who have suffered financial
losses due to the wrongful acts of a licensee (up to $50,000 per claim) and
provides funding for professional real estate education programs.
Disciplinary Hearings
Q: Typically, a panel oversees a hearing for a DC license law violation. How
many commissioners must serve on this panel?
, A: ✔✔ Three. While the full Commission consists of nine members, a hearing can
be conducted by a panel of at least three members. At least one of these members
must be a professional (licensed) member of the Commission.
Emergency License Actions
Q: What is it called when the Mayor suspends a license immediately without a
prior hearing because the licensee poses an "imminent danger" to the public?

cases, such as the misappropriation of trust funds (commingling or conversion).
Process: Once a summary suspension is issued, the licensee must stop all
real estate activities immediately. They are entitled to a hearing within 72
hours of requesting one to challenge the suspension.
