The Real Estate Commission is empowered to take action against a licensee who is found to have engaged in any of the following activities EXCEPT:

Substantial misrepresentation is a serious breach of ethical standards in real estate, as it involves providing false or misleading information to clients or potential buyers. The Real Estate Commission actively investigates such claims to protect consumers and maintain the integrity of the profession, making this a valid reason for action against a licensee.

This action is also a violation of real estate regulations, as it deprives the owner of important documentation regarding their property transaction. The failure to provide a copy of the listing contract can lead to misunderstandings and disputes, warranting disciplinary measures from the Real Estate Commission.

Non-compliance with a request from the Real Estate Commission is a significant issue, as it obstructs the investigation process into potential violations. Such behavior can lead to disciplinary actions, as it undermines the Commission's ability to enforce regulations and protect the public.
