Which entity can impose penalties for violations of real estate rules in Tennessee?

The judicial branch
The Tennessee House of Representatives
The Department of Commerce
The Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC)

The correct answer is: The Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC)

The Tennessee Real Estate Commission (TREC) is the authoritative body responsible for overseeing real estate practices in Tennessee. TREC has the power to implement and enforce real estate laws and regulations, including the authority to impose penalties for violations. This ensures that real estate professionals adhere to ethical standards and legal requirements, thereby protecting the public's interests in real estate transactions. Other entities listed do not have the same regulatory authority in real estate matters. The judicial branch has the role of interpreting laws but does not directly enforce real estate rules. The Tennessee House of Representatives is involved in creating and passing legislation but does not have the jurisdiction to impose penalties for regulatory violations. The Department of Commerce oversees various sectors of commerce within the state but does not specifically handle the enforcement of real estate regulations as TREC does.
