File a Licensee Complaint

The New Jersey Real Estate Commission administers and enforces New Jersey's real estate licensing law and regulations adopted by the Commission. The Commission frequently acts as a quasi-judicial body rendering decisions on contested license applications and disciplinary actions. It also promulgates rules interpreting and implementing the provisions of the license law and establishing standards of practice for the real estate brokerage profession.

The Commission is empowered to conduct investigations, to hold hearings and to revoke licenses and/or otherwise sanction individuals and firms for violations of the license law or its administrative rules. Violations which can result in severe sanctions include commingling or misappropriating escrow monies, making substantial misrepresentations, being convicted of a theft offense, procuring a license by fraud or deceit, and "any conduct which demonstrates unworthiness, incompetency, bad faith or dishonesty."
