What can a licensee do if their license has been suspended by the real estate commissioner?

A licensee whose real estate license has been suspended by the real estate commissioner has the option to appeal to the courts. This action is part of the legal recourse available to individuals who believe their license was suspended unfairly or without sufficient cause. The appeals process allows the licensee to present their case before a judge, who will review the details surrounding the suspension and determine if it should be upheld or overturned.

Other choices are not viable options under California real estate law. For instance, reapplying for the license immediately may not be possible, as the suspension typically indicates that the licensee needs to address certain issues or penalties before they can be considered for reinstatement. Automatic reinstatement does not occur in these situations; instead, a formal process must be followed to resolve the suspension. Additionally, obtaining a temporary license is not an option once a suspension has been imposed; temporary licenses are generally available under specific circumstances that do not apply to a licensee in violation of the terms of their license.
