Explanation

A consent order is a negotiated settlement between the Delaware Real Estate Commission and a licensee facing disciplinary action. The licensee admits to specified conduct and accepts penalties (fine, additional CE, probation, supervision) without a formal hearing. Consent orders resolve cases efficiently and allow licensees to avoid an adversarial hearing while accepting appropriate accountability.
