Disciplinary Suspensions

Released on August 18, 2022 - Jun Espino: The Registrar hereby gives notice the real estate salesperson’s licence for Jun Espino, formerly licensed with Keller Williams Select Realty, is suspended effective August 1, 2022, for violating the following section of the Real Estate Trading Act:

  • Real Estate Trading Act, Section 22 (1) (a)

The violation resulted from an investigation of a complaint initiated by the Registrar. The evidence supports that Espino committed a very serious breach of trust. Espino attended a property viewing and was videotaped by the seller breaching the seller’s privacy. Specifically, Espino accessed personal items of the seller in several dresser drawers, without permission on two separate occasions.

Espino’s eligibility to apply for a licence is suspended for five (5) years. After the five-year period, the Commission will not consider a licence application from Espino until he has recompleted and passed the NSREC’s Salesperson Licensing Course and examination.
