Review the question and all answer choices

A

Connecticut Real Estate Board

There is no body called the 'Connecticut Real Estate Board' β€” this is a fabricated title that confuses Connecticut's structure with other states that use the word 'Board,' such as Georgia's Real Estate Commission or Florida's DBPR structure.

B

Connecticut Real Estate Commission

Correct Answer
C

Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection

The Department of Consumer Protection is the parent agency that houses the Commission, but it is not itself the direct regulatory body for real estate licensees β€” the Commission operates within DCP as a distinct entity with its own authority.

D

Connecticut Real Estate Association

The Connecticut Real Estate Association is a private professional trade organization, not a government regulatory body; it has no legal authority to license, discipline, or regulate real estate practitioners.

Why is this correct?

The Connecticut Real Estate Commission is the specific body established under Connecticut General Statutes Β§20-311 et seq. to license and regulate real estate brokers and salespersons. While it operates under the umbrella of the Department of Consumer Protection, the Commission itself is the direct regulatory authority that issues licenses, sets standards, and enforces the real estate licensing law.
