REAL ESTATE COUNCIL OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
In the matter of the Real Estate Services Act
S.B.C. 2004 ch. 42
NOTICE OF LICENSEE RESIGNATION
Ronald Milton Merkley while licensed with Ronald Milton Merkley dba Retirement Realty requested the Real Estate Council of British Columbia to discontinue disciplinary proceedings against him and Ronald Milton Merkley dba Retirement Realty as he has decided to permanently retire from real estate practice. Mr. Merkley was facing a disciplinary hearing into his professional conduct and would have been required to appear before a Discipline Hearing Committee of the Real Estate Council to respond to these allegations.
Considering the fact that there is likely no greater disciplinary penalty than not being licensed to act again, the Real Estate Council agreed with Mr. Merkley ’s request. The lifetime ban on Mr. Merkley and Ronald Milton Merkley dba Retirement Realty ’s licensing under the Real Estate Services Act is effective as of May 26, 2006.
