Under Kentucky license law, KREC has broad authority to regulate the real estate profession. Which of the following is NOT a power expressly granted to KREC under KRS Chapter 324?

Correct Answer

C) Setting the maximum commission rates that brokers may charge clients in Kentucky

KREC does NOT have the authority to set or regulate commission rates charged by brokers. Commission rates in Kentucky are negotiable between the parties and are not controlled by KREC. Setting commission rates would violate federal antitrust laws (Sherman Act). This is a power expressly outside KREC's statutory authority under KRS Chapter 324.

Answer Options

Issuing and renewing real estate licenses for qualified applicants in Kentucky
B
Conducting investigations and hearings into alleged license law violations
C
Setting the maximum commission rates that brokers may charge clients in Kentucky
D
Suspending or revoking licenses of those found to have violated Kentucky license law
