When someone who is not licensed by the state performs services that require a license, the local district attorney is responsible for deciding what to do about it. The Department of Real Estate (DRE) "cannot prosecute" because the person is not licensed. Neither can a federal authority, and a county sheriff also doesn't have the power to act on this kind of crime.
