Real Help from a Real Lawyer

If you’re a licensed real estate agent or broker in North Carolina, you already know the job comes with plenty of pressure — deadlines, disclosures, client expectations, and of course, staying on the right side of the Commission’s rules.  When something goes sideways and you’re staring down a complaint or disciplinary action, it can feel overwhelming fast.

We have spent years representing North Carolina real estate professionals in front of the Real Estate Commission.  We understand the challenges you face, and we know what’s at stake.  Whether it’s a misunderstanding, a paperwork issue, or a more serious allegation, we work with you to keep your license and reputation intact.

We have worked with agents and brokers across the state. If the Commission has reached out — or if you think they might — it’s not too early to talk, and we never charge for an initial consultation.

Common Complaints

Real estate law in North Carolina is strict, and sometimes, even well-meaning professionals find themselves accused of violating the rules.  Dropping the ball on due diligence, leaving out material facts or making statements deemed misleading about a property, or engaging in transactions where there’s a conflict of interest often leave folks in trouble with the Commission.

These kinds of things happen, and they don’t always mean you’re guilty of wrongdoing.  But they do mean you need someone in your corner who understands the system.

Here’s What To Do

First off, don’t panic, but don’t ignore it either.  How you respond early on can make a big difference in how the case plays out.  Here are some good first steps:

• Stop any ongoing issue: taking remedial action can be significantly mitigating.
• Preserve all your records: emails, files, texts. Don’t delete anything, even if you think it looks bad.
• Talk to an attorney who knows the process: not just any lawyer, but someone who’s worked with real estate professionals and understands how these cases unfold.

Every case is different, but you may have several defenses or ways to resolve the issue favorably.  We’ll help you figure that out and walk with you every step of the way.

You Don’t Have to Go Through This Alone

No one gets into real estate thinking they’ll be accused of malfeasance.  But if you’re in that spot and you need to defend your livelihood, you deserve a solid legal team that will treat your case with the urgency and respect it deserves. 

We’ve helped a lot of good agents and brokers through tough moments like this.  We’d be glad to talk with you, hear your side of things, and help you chart the best course forward.
