VI. License Discipline and Public Records
The DRE offers its website as a resource where members of the public can check on a licensee's good standing and record of discipline. It is lawful for the DRE to make this information, even information about a pending case, available to the public. Usually an initial inquiry at the DRE website will reveal the existence of a pending or decided discipline case. Effective January 1, 2012, the DRE now posts online in most cases the Disciplinary Accusation and result of the DRE disciplinary case, including any Stipulation or Decision. If someone is applying for a license and the DRE files a Statement of Issues, should the individual receive a license, the DRE will also post the Statement of Issues and the Stipulation or Decision on the web. The documents are on the licensee's DRE license listing and can be accessed through a hyper link. The person inquiring can also make further inquiries or even order copies of the Accusation/Statement of Issues and other public documents relating to the disciplinary action.
If you have a pending license discipline case for an existing license, please be aware that clients, associates and investors, among others, may learn of your pending license discipline case. Dissemination of this information may have a severe impact on some businesses. Additionally, disciplinary case results are typically published in the DRE's Real Estate Bulletin, which is sent to those who request it via email.
