When may the Indiana Real Estate Commission issue a cease and desist order?

The Indiana Real Estate Commission has the authority to issue a cease and desist order when an individual solicits or accepts unapproved enrollments. This situation typically involves the commission intervening to protect consumers and maintain the integrity of the real estate profession. Unauthorized or unapproved enrollments can lead to misleading practices, which may harm potential clients or the reputation of the industry as a whole.

The focus of this authority is to ensure that all real estate activities are conducted under proper regulations and with the necessary approvals, safeguarding the interests of the public and the integrity of the real estate market. The commission acts to prevent further violations by stopping these practices before they can cause additional harm, thereby promoting fairness and compliance within the industry.
