Practice Of Real EstateLicense LawMEDIUM

Sarah is a licensed Alaska real estate salesperson working under Broker Tom at Glacier Realty. Tom's broker license lapses because he failed to renew it on time. Under Alaska law, what is the immediate effect on Sarah's ability to practice real estate?

Correct Answer

A) Sarah's license automatically becomes inactive and she may not perform any licensed real estate activities until she is affiliated with a licensed broker.

Under AS 08.88 and 12 AAC 64, a salesperson's license must be held under a licensed broker at all times. If the sponsoring broker's license lapses or is otherwise inactive, the salesperson loses the authority to perform licensed real estate activities. Sarah's license becomes inactive automatically, and she cannot engage in any real estate brokerage activities until she affiliates with a currently licensed broker and AREC is properly notified.

Answer Options
A
Sarah's license automatically becomes inactive and she may not perform any licensed real estate activities until she is affiliated with a licensed broker.
B
Sarah may continue to practice real estate independently until she finds a new sponsoring broker, provided she notifies AREC within 10 days.
C
Sarah may continue to practice real estate under the supervision of another salesperson at Glacier Realty until a new broker is appointed.
D
Sarah's license is automatically revoked and she must reapply for a new salesperson license before practicing again.
