The Real Estate Commission is a regulatory agency. As such, we enforce an administrative license law. We have authority to take disciplinary action against the license, including but not limited to, imposition of fines, suspension, revocation or placement of conditions on the licensee. We will refer cases involving unlicensed persons conducting real estate activities to the appropriate criminal authority. We have no authority to enforce or rescind contractual agreements between principals. Nor do we have the authority to adjudicate civil matters, collect moneys, recover losses, award damages, or determine civil liabilities and culpabilities.
Kansas law prohibits the Commission and its staff from providing legal advice.
You may need to consult with private counsel about your rights under the civil code and common law and as to any possible remedies that may be available to you.
The issues raised in your complaint may also fall within the jurisdiction of the Kansas Association of Realtors (KAR). KAR is a trade association that is not affiliated in any way with the Commission. KAR has jurisdiction over the “ethics” and “standards of practice” of its members. Not all real estate licensees are members of KAR. Click here Kansas Association of Realtors consumer information to check whether a licensee is a member of KAR (click on Consumers and then click Find a Kansas Realtor) and to obtain information on filing an ethics complaint with the trade association.
