Under 26 V.S.A. Chapter 41, which of the following powers does the Vermont Real Estate Commission NOT possess?

Correct Answer

C) The power to set the maximum commission rate that brokers may charge clients in Vermont

The VREC does not have the authority to set or regulate the commission rates that brokers charge clients. Commission rates in Vermont (and throughout the United States) are negotiable between brokers and their clients; fixing commission rates would violate federal antitrust law (Sherman Antitrust Act). The VREC's powers are limited to licensing, education standards, rule adoption, and disciplinary authority under Chapter 41.

Answer Options
A
The power to adopt rules governing continuing education requirements for licensees
B
The power to suspend or revoke a real estate license after a disciplinary hearing
C
The power to set the maximum commission rate that brokers may charge clients in Vermont
D
The power to establish the education requirements for initial licensure as a salesperson or broker
