Under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 452 and REEB regulations, which of the following is NOT a ground upon which REEB may discipline a Wisconsin real estate licensee?

Correct Answer

D) Accepting a commission that is lower than the customary rate in the local market area

Under Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 452 and REEB disciplinary authority, accepting a commission below the prevailing or customary market rate is NOT a disciplinary ground. Commission rates in Wisconsin are freely negotiable between brokers and their clients — there is no minimum commission requirement, and charging below-market rates is not a violation. In fact, mandating minimum commission rates would raise antitrust concerns under federal law. REEB has no authority to discipline a licensee for negotiating a lower commission.

Answer Options
A
Intentionally misrepresenting the condition of a property to a buyer
B
Failing to disclose a material fact that the licensee knew or should have known
C
Representing a buyer in a transaction where the licensee's spouse is the seller, without written informed consent from all parties
D
Accepting a commission that is lower than the customary rate in the local market area
