The essay is based on administrative law. Real estate brokers are regulated by established laws for real estate brokers. If the real estate broker violates any of the obligations contained in the law he may be assigned with a disciplinary sanction. The Estate Agents Act specifies three different sanctions, reprimand, warning or revocation of the license. In fact you could say that there is a fourth one called minor infraction which means that the real estate broker avoids sanction. It is unclear what sanction will be imposed for what action. Some actions tend to always give the same disciplinary sanction. Even though there is only one established case of so called fake bids it is unequivocal what sanction it entails, it always leads to a warning. In marketing, it matters whether the error occurred due to negligence or not and is crucial whether the broker receives a reprimand or a warning. On the surface it may seem like the different cases have a diffuse line between the disciplinary sanctions but a closer examination has revealed a pattern in several actions. Things that typically risk having serious consequences, such as incorrect information or incorrect advice, render a warning. Questions that, on the other hand, concern minor details in the administrative work, such as a lack of contact information in the tender list, render a reprimand.
