Who is responsible for maintaining compliance with the Virginia Real Estate License Law?

The Virginia Real Estate Board is charged with overseeing the enforcement and compliance of the Virginia Real Estate License Law. This board is responsible for regulating real estate practices within the state, ensuring that licensees adhere to the established laws and regulations governing real estate transactions and practices. It issues licenses, investigates complaints, and takes disciplinary actions as necessary against individuals who violate the law.

Other entities mentioned, such as the local real estate board, may assist in professional development and provide support to members, but they do not hold the authoritative responsibility for enforcing state laws. The state attorney general handles legal matters and may support law enforcement but does not specifically oversee real estate licensing compliance. Similarly, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) deals with federal housing policies and issues and is not involved in the state-level licensing regulations for real estate agents. Therefore, the Virginia Real Estate Board is the correct entity responsible for maintaining compliance with the state's real estate licensing laws.
