What is the timeframe for a licensee to request a hearing after a cease and desist order is issued by the Division of Real Estate?

The timeframe for a licensee to request a hearing after a cease and desist order is issued by the Division of Real Estate is 30 days. This is important as it provides a structured period within which the licensee can respond to the order and seek to contest it. The 30-day window allows for necessary preparations and considerations, giving the licensee an opportunity to present their case and any supporting evidence to the appropriate authorities. Adhering to this timeline is essential because failing to request a hearing within the specified period may result in the order taking effect without an opportunity for the licensee to challenge it, thereby potentially affecting their license and ability to operate in the real estate sector.
