A Georgia real estate broker receives a complaint that one of their affiliated licensees refused to show properties in certain neighborhoods to Hispanic clients. Under BRRETA and GREC rules, what is the broker's primary responsibility?

Correct Answer

B) Immediately investigate the complaint and take appropriate disciplinary action if violations are found

Under BRRETA and GREC rules, brokers have a duty to supervise their affiliated licensees and must investigate complaints of discriminatory practices, taking appropriate disciplinary action when violations are discovered. A is incorrect because brokers cannot wait for external complaints before acting on known violations. C is incorrect because transferring doesn't address the discriminatory behavior.
