COnly persons conducting fraudulent transactions
DOnly persons who have been previously disciplined
Explanation
OREA can issue cease and desist orders against both licensed brokers who violate ORS Chapter 696 and unlicensed persons who are engaging in real estate activities that require a license (unlicensed practice). This enforcement authority allows OREA to stop unlicensed real estate activity and protect consumers without requiring criminal prosecution — though criminal charges are also possible.
