Final answer:

Disciplinary action for unlicensed real estate practice is handled by the state's real estate commission or regulatory authority, not the board of REALTORS or the county attorney, who may handle criminal charges.

Step-by-step explanation:

When someone is found guilty of practicing real estate without a license, they are generally disciplined by the state's real estate commission or regulatory authority that oversees the licensing of real estate professionals.

While the board of REALTORS might have its own rules and systems of enforcement for its members, it doesn't have the legal authority to discipline unlicensed individuals.

Disciplinary actions typically fall under the purview of state government entities such as the Real Estate Division or Commission depending on the jurisdiction.

It should be noted that legal actions, such as pressing charges, could involve the county attorney if the unlicensed practice violates criminal statutes.
