Review the question and all answer choices
Delaware Real Estate Board
The 'Delaware Real Estate Board' does not exist as the regulatory authority for real estate licensees in Delaware — this is a fabricated name designed to test whether candidates know the precise official title of the regulatory body, which is the Commission, not a Board.
Delaware Real Estate Commission
Delaware Department of Commerce
The Delaware Department of Commerce is not the regulatory body for real estate licensees; real estate regulation in Delaware falls under the Division of Professional Regulation within the Department of State, not Commerce, making this answer incorrect on both the agency name and the department.
Delaware Real Estate Association
The Delaware Real Estate Association is a professional trade association representing the interests of its members, not a government regulatory body — it has no legal authority to license, discipline, or regulate real estate practitioners, making it fundamentally different from the Commission.
Why is this correct?
The Delaware Real Estate Commission is established under Delaware Code Title 24, Chapter 29, and is the official state agency vested with the authority to license, regulate, and discipline real estate brokers and salespersons in Delaware. The Commission operates under the Division of Professional Regulation within the Delaware Department of State, giving it both administrative support and independent quasi-judicial authority. All licensing applications, renewals, complaints, and disciplinary proceedings in Delaware flow through the Commission, making it the definitive regulatory body for the profession.
