Disposition of HUD-Acquired Single Family Property; Disciplinary Actions Against HUD-Qualified Real Estate Brokers

Résumé

This final rule establishes the basis and procedures for removing real estate brokers from HUD's qualified selling broker list and for prohibiting removed brokers from using HUD's systems to participate in the sale of HUD-owned, single family properties. This rule is similar to existing removal rules for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) appraisers, consultants, and nonprofit organizations, and provides HUD a more expeditious disciplinary procedure for real estate brokers than the suspension and debarment procedures that would otherwise be applicable. This final rule follows publication of a September 17, 2004, proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.
