Who prosecutes the practice of real estate without a license?

  1. The district attorney

  2. The state's attorney

  3. The mayor's office

  4. The local police department

The correct answer is: The district attorney

Real estate without a license is considered a form of fraud and is a violation of state laws. As such, the responsibility of prosecuting this practice typically falls on the district attorney's office. The state's attorney and mayor's office may have some involvement in the prosecution, but it is not their primary responsibility. The local police department may be involved in the investigation of the case, but they do not have the authority to prosecute. Therefore, the district attorney is the most appropriate answer.
