What is one of the possible disciplinary actions the commission can impose?

Imposing fines is a disciplinary action that can be taken by the commission against individuals or entities that violate real estate regulations. This action serves as a financial penalty to discourage misconduct and ensure compliance with the law. Fines can vary in amount depending on the severity of the violation, and they act as a deterrent to maintain ethical standards within the real estate industry.

The other options do not align as disciplinary actions that the commission would typically impose. For instance, increasing a broker's commission rate would not be a regulatory action, as commission structures are usually determined by the market and agreements between brokers and clients. Canceling lease agreements is a legal remedy that would typically be pursued through the courts, not a direct action by the commission. Offering financial counseling is not a method of discipline but rather a supportive service that could be provided to those in need, which does not fit within the regulatory framework of the commission’s role.
