Explanation
Pennsylvania's PREC investigates complaints against licensees following the State Real Estate Commission's procedures. The process: complaint filed → PREC investigation → if merit found, formal charges filed → hearing before PREC (or hearing examiner) → decision and order → sanctions (reprimand, probation, suspension, revocation, civil penalty, continuing education). Licensees have due process rights: notice, opportunity to be heard, and right to appeal to the Commonwealth Court. The process is governed by the Administrative Agency Law.
