The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.

On September 20, 2024, the Colorado Real Estate Commission (the “Commission”) entered into a Stipulation and Final Agency Order with licensee, Rachelle Marie Paplow, License IL.100035926, for license surrender and public censure. The Division of Real Estate (the “Division”), part of the Department of Regulatory Agencies (“DORA”), conducted a detailed investigation and found evidence of misconduct and license law violations by the licensee. Pursuant to the Stipulation and Final Agency Order, the licensee admitted to the Division’s factual findings and violations of real estate licensing law and/or Commission rules.

Paplow was fined $11,500.00 with $10,350.00 permanently stayed unless Paplow attempts to re-apply for a real estate broker license or any other professional license issued by the Division of Real Estate. Thus, a total amount of $1,150.00 is due. 

Paplow operates as an individual proprietor under the name Denver Lifestyle and Luxury Homes, Inc.

The surrender was effective immediately on September 20, 2024, and as of that date, Paplow is not permitted to perform any duties that require a real estate license.
