Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Missouri Real Estate Board
Option A is incorrect because there is no governmental body called the 'Missouri Real Estate Board' — this is a fabricated name designed to sound plausible and trap test-takers who confuse the term 'board' with 'commission,' which is the correct designation used in Missouri statute.
Missouri Real Estate Commission
Missouri Department of Commerce
Option C is incorrect because while the Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance oversees many professional and financial industries, it does not directly regulate real estate licensees — that authority is specifically delegated to the Missouri Real Estate Commission under Chapter 339.
Missouri Division of Professional Registration
Option D is incorrect because the Missouri Division of Professional Registration is an administrative umbrella that houses various licensing boards, but the specific regulatory authority for real estate licensees is the Missouri Real Estate Commission itself, not the Division as a whole.
Why is this correct?
The Missouri Real Estate Commission is established under Chapter 339 of the Missouri Revised Statutes and holds exclusive authority to regulate real estate licensees in the state, including brokers and salespersons. The MREC has the power to promulgate rules, conduct hearings, and discipline licensees, making it the definitive regulatory body that every Missouri licensee must answer to. No other agency listed in the answer choices holds this specific statutory authority over real estate license law in Missouri.
