The professions of building contractors, real estate agents, mortgage originators and others going from Duluth to Hugo to Marshall are all answering to the State. Here's a sampling: - A $2,000 penalty for an appraiser who failed to disclose exposure time in an appraisal report and the relationship and potential conflict of interest in an appraisal assignment. - A bullion dealer paid a $15,000 penalty for conducting bullion product transactions with MN consumers in amounts substantially exceeding statutory thresholds without first registering with the Department. - A slew of insurance agents paid a $500 civil penalty for reporting continuing education classes before actually taking the class. C'mon folks, that's a no brainer! - A notary public had her commission revoked after she affixed her signature and notary stamp without witnessing the actual signing of at least one signature on a Quit Claim Deed document.
