Summary

REAL ESTATE COUNCIL OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

In the matter of the Real Estate Services Act

S.B.C. 2004 ch. 42

NOTICE OF PERMANENT SURRENDER OF LICENCE

Lashell Ann Skage, currently unlicensed, while licensed as a representative with Best Results Real Estate Inc. dba RE/MAX Best Results Realty, Fort Nelson, requested the Real Estate Council of British Columbia to discontinue disciplinary proceedings against her as she had decided to permanently retire from real estate practice. Ms. Skage was facing a disciplinary hearing into her professional conduct and would have been required to appear before a hearing committee of the Real Estate Council to respond to these allegations.

The allegation against Ms. Skage in the Notice of Discipline Hearing is that she:

  1. failed to use reasonable efforts to discover relevant facts pertaining to the property the buyer was acquiring, in that she failed to discover that the manufactured home did not have a valid CSA approval sticker or silver label to reflect the alterations made to the subject property as required by section 21 of the Electrical Safety Regulation of the BC Safety Standards Act.

There has been no discipline hearing or finding of fact with respect to this allegation, and no admissions to this allegation by Ms. Skage.

The Council was satisfied that, in the circumstances of this case, permanent surrender of Ms. Skage's licence in lieu of proceeding with disciplinary action was appropriate. The permanent surrender of Ms. Skage's licence was effective as of March 5, 2015, although she surrendered her licence to the Real Estate Council on July 31, 2013.
