                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REMEDIES (§ 55.1-3206)

A. If a real estate service agreement in violation of subsection A of &#xA7;
55.1-3202 is recorded, any person with an interest in the residential real
property that is subject to a lien arising from the service agreement may bring
an action against the service provider in the circuit court of the county where
the residential real property is located to request a determination that the
service agreement is void and unenforceable under this chapter.

B. If a real estate service agreement that violates subsection A of &#xA7;
55.1-3202 is recorded in the Commonwealth, any party with an interest in the
residential real property identified in the service agreement may recover
damages, costs, and reasonable attorney fees that may be proved against the
service provider. No actual damages, costs, or reasonable attorney fees that are
proved against the service provider shall be offset by the consideration paid by
the service provider to the owner, buyer, or tenant in connection with the real
estate service agreement.

C. Nothing in this chapter shall prevent an individual from pursuing any other
remedy provided by law.
