What happens when a licensee is put on probation by the Board?

When a licensee is placed on probation by the Board, it signifies that the licensee can continue to engage in their real estate activities, but they must adhere to specific conditions set by the Board. These conditions are typically designed to address any concerns that led to the probation status and ensure compliance with laws and regulations governing real estate practices.

The probationary period allows the licensee to demonstrate that they can meet these conditions, often including more frequent reporting to the Board, completion of additional training or education, or adherence to a stricter code of practice. By complying with the stipulated conditions, the licensee has an opportunity to rectify their situation and potentially avoid further disciplinary action.

This nuanced approach reflects a focus on rehabilitation and accountability rather than immediate punishment, allowing the licensee to maintain their business activities while also addressing any issues.
