During an investigation, the Division of Real Estate cannot do which of the following?

The Division of Real Estate typically has a range of powers when conducting investigations, such as auditing financial records, reviewing transactional documentation, and conducting site visits. However, compelling testimony generally falls outside the authority of the Division in most circumstances. This power usually resides with law enforcement or judicial entities, which possess the necessary legal mechanisms (such as subpoenas) to compel individuals to testify.

The inability to compel testimony means that while the Division can gather and review certain documents and information, it may not have the legal authority to force a person to provide a statement or testify against their will. Understanding this distinction is essential for recognizing the boundaries of the Division's investigative powers and the legal frameworks within which it operates.
