Maria is applying for an Alabama salesperson license. She completed her 60-hour pre-license course and passed both portions of the PSI exam. She has now submitted her license application to AREC. Under Alabama law, when may Maria legally begin performing real estate activities for compensation?

Correct Answer

B) Only after AREC has issued her license and she is affiliated with a licensed responsible broker

Under Code of Alabama §34-27-30, a person may not perform real estate activities for compensation until AREC has issued an active license and the licensee is properly affiliated with a licensed responsible broker. Passing the exam and submitting an application are necessary steps, but they do not authorize the practice of real estate. Both conditions — issuance of the license and affiliation with a broker — must be satisfied before Maria can legally begin working.

Answer Options
A
Immediately after passing both portions of the PSI exam, before AREC issues her license
B
Only after AREC has issued her license and she is affiliated with a licensed responsible broker
C
After submitting her application to AREC, even if the license has not yet been issued
D
After completing a 90-day probationary period under broker supervision following license issuance
