In the event of a suspected breach of real estate law, it is recommended that you reach out to either the Delaware Real Estate Commission or a Delaware real estate attorney.

However, any proceedings here at the Board office will be temporarily suspended until a decision has been reached by the Delaware Real Estate Commission or the Delaware court.
