• Description/Excerpt: A Times computer analysis of two years of data from the real estate commission and appraiser board shows nearly one-third of real estate professionals coming before the two judicial panels are being put out of business, either through suspension or revocation of their license. Disciplinary charges filed with the boards in 2005 and 2006 resulted in 13 real estate agents and 47 appraisers being barred from doing business by suspension or revocation. That is three times as many as the entire number of cases filed in 2004, when just 14 real estate agents and six appraisers came before the boards to face charges.
