You may be eligible to receive a Recovery Fund if your reputation has been damaged by a real estate transaction. This fund is set up to help compensate victims of real estate licensees who committed misrepresentations. These funds can also be used for reasonable attorney fees.
To be eligible for recovery, you must have been awarded a judgment or arbitration award. Your judgment must be based on the improper conduct of the real estate broker or licensee. It cannot be based upon any other misconduct. You must also have a judgment from a court in a state other that California.
An active license is required for real-estate agents. You can submit an application to recover funds on your own or with the help of an attorney. The Department of Commerce will review the application to see if it meets all requirements.
A recovery fund claim is when you prove you were a victim to the misconduct of licensed real estate agents. It is also necessary to show that you were a victim of misconduct by a licensed real estate agent. But, actual damages are not available. The funds are generally not liable for losses due to fraud or violations of real estate licensing laws.
To be eligible in the Recovery Fund, you must have obtained a judgment from outside of California. The improper conduct, such fraud or deceit of the realty broker/licensee must be the basis for the judgment. Additionally, the arbitration or bankruptcy proceeding must have been won by you.
The type of judgment you received will determine the amount you can recover. You can typically receive $50,000 for a single case. A lump sum can also be granted. Also, interest can not be repaid, but you may be reimbursed some court costs.
A valid judgment or award from Florida courts is required in order to be eligible for payment out of a recovery fund. In particular, you must have been granted a judgment by non-binding arbitration against a real property licensee who isn't a lending institution or fictitious. Lastly, you must demonstrate that the licensee did not have assets during the period of the conduct that is causing the damage.
Do not file a recovery fund request if you do not want to wait. Although there are some steps you can take to make the process smoother, you should not expect a guarantee of payment.
If you win a case in court, the only way to receive reimbursement from this fund is by winning it. The fund will reimburse reasonable attorney's costs up to a maximum amount. In the event you are hurt by a licensee, you can also sue the realty board fund.
The California Real Estate Recovery Fund is funded by a portion of the license fees paid by real estate agents and brokers. The fund has paid out over $38 million in compensation since its inception in 1964.
