Question & Answer

A

$10.00

$10.00 is far too low for a willful violation of a regulatory order. This amount might apply to minor administrative fees, but not to penalties for ignoring direct orders from the Ohio Real Estate Commission.

B

$50.00

$50.00 is insufficient for a willful violation. While this might be appropriate for minor infractions, ignoring a Cease and Desist order is a serious offense that warrants significantly higher penalties.

C

$100.00

$100.00 is still inadequate for willful violation of a regulatory order. This amount might be appropriate for first-time minor violations, but not for deliberately ignoring a direct order from the Ohio Commission.

D

$1,000.00

Correct Answer

Why is this correct?

Ohio law allows the Real Estate Commission to impose fines of up to $1,000 per day for violations, including willful disregard of a Cease and Desist order. This substantial penalty reflects the serious nature of defying regulatory authority and is designed to ensure compliance with real estate laws.
