What happens if a licensee does not fulfill the requirements set by NREDA?

When a licensee does not fulfill the requirements set by the Nevada Real Estate Division (NREDA), the appropriate consequence is that the license may be officially suspended. A suspension means that the licensee is temporarily barred from practicing real estate until they comply with the requirements, which may include aspects like continuing education or adhering to regulations.

This action is a critical enforcement mechanism designed to ensure that all practicing licensees meet the necessary standards, thereby protecting the integrity of the real estate profession as well as the interests of consumers. The suspension allows the individual a chance to rectify their non-compliance without permanently losing their license, differentiating it from revocation, which is a more severe action leading to the complete loss of the license.

Renewal of a license occurs automatically under normal circumstances when all requirements are met, and a license remaining active indefinitely does not apply in situations where compliance is lacking. Thus, a suspension acts as a corrective measure rather than a permanent penalty.
