Who is responsible for prosecuting the practice of real estate without a license?

The responsibility for prosecuting the practice of real estate without a license primarily lies with the District Attorney's Office. This office is tasked with prosecuting criminal offenses within their jurisdiction, including the unlawful practice of real estate. When individuals engage in activities that require a real estate license without actually being licensed, they may be committing a misdemeanor or other criminal activity, which falls under the purview of local law enforcement and prosecution.

The Real Estate Commission's role is more focused on administering real estate laws, issuing licenses, and ensuring compliance with regulations, rather than direct prosecution. The state legislature is responsible for creating laws and regulations surrounding real estate practices but does not engage in prosecuting violations. Federal agencies, while they might have some involvement in broader economic regulations, do not usually handle local licensing issues. Therefore, the District Attorney's Office is the correct authority for prosecuting those practicing real estate unlawfully.
