Nevada Revised Statutes Section 645.635 - Professions, Occupations and Businesses

Additional grounds for disciplinary action: Unprofessional and improper conduct relating to real estate transactions. The Commission may take action pursuant to NRS 645.630 against any person subject to that section who is guilty of:

1. Offering real estate for sale or lease without the knowledge and consent of the owner or his authorized agent or on terms other than those authorized by the owner or his authorized agent.

2. Negotiating a sale, exchange or lease of real estate directly with a client if he knows that the client has a brokerage agreement in force in connection with the property granting an exclusive agency or an exclusive right to sell to another broker, unless permission in writing has been obtained from the other broker.

3. Failure to deliver within a reasonable time a completed copy of any purchase agreement or offer to buy or sell real estate to the purchaser or to the seller.

4. Failure to deliver to the seller in each real estate transaction, within 10 business days after the transaction is closed, a complete, detailed closing statement showing all of the receipts and disbursements handled by him for the seller, failure to deliver to the buyer a complete statement showing all money received in the transaction from the buyer and how and for what it was disbursed, or failure to retain true copies of those statements in his files. The furnishing of those statements by an escrow holder relieves the broker’s, broker-salesman’s or salesman’s responsibility and must be deemed to be compliance with this provision.

5. Representing to any lender, guaranteeing agency or any other interested party, verbally or through the preparation of false documents, an amount in excess of the actual sale price of the real estate or terms differing from those actually agreed upon.

6. Failure to produce any document, book or record in his possession or under his control, concerning any real estate transaction under investigation by the Division.

7. Failure to reduce a bona fide offer to writing where a proposed purchaser requests that it be submitted in writing.

8. Failure to submit all written bona fide offers to a seller when the offers are received before the seller accepts an offer in writing and until the broker has knowledge of that acceptance.

9. Refusing because of race, color, national origin, sex or ethnic group to show, sell or rent any real estate for sale or rent to qualified purchasers or renters.

10. Knowingly submitting any false or fraudulent appraisal to any financial institution or other interested person.
