Real Estate Complaints
You can file a complaint if you feel you were cheated by your broker or real estate agent. It is easy to file a complaint against agents or brokers in your state. This involves providing specific facts and evidence to the agency. They will then investigate.
Gather all the documents that you believe show evidence of the alleged wrongdoing, and then submit them to your state agency. Include a detailed explanation as to why you believe the broker or realtor acted in an illegal manner. This could include the contract for sale, inspection reports, as well as any other documents that support your beliefs about the transaction.
Keep track of everything that happened before you filed the complaint. This will help keep you organized and allow you to recall the sequence of events. This will be useful if you have to present evidence of the alleged wrongdoing in the future.
You can find forms online, although they may vary from state-to-state. You will need to fill out your contact information, the name and address of the real estate agent or broker, and explain the details of what you believe happened during the sale. Some forms will ask you for proof of receipts from estimates or other services that were provided by the broker.
There is a state real estate commission that investigates complaints about real-estate licensees and handles professional standards and ethics issues. The commission will investigate the complaint and decide what to do.
The complexity of the case and the number of people involved can make this an extended process that can last several months. The state will then gather additional documents to support your claims against the broker and real estate agent.
You must adhere to the Code of Ethics if you are a member of National Association of Realtors. If you don't belong to the National Association of REALTORS, you can still appeal to the state or federal real estate authorities.
After you have collected the evidence, you can decide if it is worth filing a complaint. You will have to weigh the costs and benefits of pursuing this option with your own attorney. The most important thing is to decide how serious you believe the situation is and what is the best course of action for you.
Also, you should consider the statutes of limitations in your particular state. Although the time it takes to file a claim varies from one state to another, it generally ranges between five to four years. This helps ensure that you can still bring your case if it is old enough to be valid.
You should also consider contacting the board of realtors in your area to see if they have an ethics committee. These committees are usually made up members of local real estate associations and are responsible for investigating complaints against real-estate agents in their jurisdiction. The board of Realtors will review the complaint and determine whether it is in violation of the Code of Ethics of their organization. If it is, the board of realtors will examine it and decide if they should issue a warning or suspend the license.
