Facts: Our client, CB, hired us to help him defend against a complaint filed with the Texas Real Estate Commission to protect his real estate sales agent’s license and reputation against potential disciplinary action stemming from baseless complaint allegations a property seller lodged because he was unhappy with a transaction where our client represented the buyer.
Outcome: The firm consulted with the client to understand the facts in his case, and we gathered the documentary evidence to demonstrate the seller’s allegations were groundless. The firm submitted a thorough response to the complaint explaining why the complaint against CB had no merit and should be dismissed. We then prepared the client for an interview with the Commission’s assigned investigator and advocated on his behalf during the interview to help the investigator understand why the complaint lacked merit and needed to be dismissed. After the staff evaluated the Firm’s arguments, the Real Estate Commission agreed the complaint lacked merit, that there was no evidence to support any wrongdoing by CB, and they dismissed the case against CB, taking no action against his license.
