Real Estate Licensing Boards

Real estate licensing boards are state or territorial agencies responsible for regulating real estate professionals. They set licensing requirements, establish ethical standards, and enforce rules to ensure agents and brokers act honestly and competently. These boards aim to protect consumers by maintaining high industry standards, investigating complaints, and disciplining those who violate laws or ethical guidelines. Essentially, they oversee who can legally practice real estate and ensure professionals uphold integrity and professionalism in the field.
