Buda provides real estate compliance services to real estate brokers who are seeking help in complying with the DRE's laws and regulations. Too often brokers wait until after they have been contacted by the DRE to obtain help. If a trust fund violation is found by the DRE and there is a decision disciplining a real estate broker license the DRE is permitted to charge for their audit and to charge for a re-audit. Those audit charges can range from anywhere from $2500 to $19,000 for each audit and re-audit. Therefore, being in compliance prior to a DRE audit is very cost effective. Why spend thousands of dollars in legal fees and audit charges defending a DRE action when a pre-audit can help to eliminate this threat.
