The broker is sorry that an assistant out of their office posed as a realtor. They want to pay my son for any money spent by him. This did take place in Oklahoma City, OK by a well known real estate company.

Mama,

Have your son seek the advice of an attorney prior to agreeing to or signing anything related to this.

Didn't you post another question about loosing a house due to this assistant and the broker knowing about it?
Sounds like they are trying to buy your son off because they screwed up big time. I'd give the real estate board for Oklahoma or an attorney a call before settling on anything.

The assistant broke some "rules" imposed by the Real Estate Commission. Anyone engaged in real estate activities for the purpose of a commissions must have a real estate license. There are also some "activities" considered as needing a real estate license. This is a serious "offense" according to the Real Estate Commission. More information is provided in the link below. Good luck!

FIRST ANSWER

They're sorry because this is a pretty big "no-no'. We have extremely strict guidelines in place on what an unlicensed assistant is and isn't able to do. One example of the strictness is unlicensed assitants aren't allowed to quote home prices to prospects who call. Depending on the circumstances you may consider contacting the Real Estate Commission to complain. However, it sounds as if the Broker is aware of the mistake and working to make it right with your son. I hope it all turns out well.
