Jennifer has passed the Arkansas real estate salesperson exam and wants to activate her license. Her designated broker submits the required paperwork to AREC. Before her license is officially activated, Jennifer attends an open house and verbally agrees to represent a buyer. Under Arkansas law, which statement is correct?

Correct Answer

C) Jennifer may not represent the buyer because her license has not yet been officially activated by AREC

Under Ark. Code Ann. § 17-42-101 et seq., a person may not engage in real estate brokerage activities until their license has been officially issued and activated by AREC. Passing the exam and submitting paperwork are necessary steps, but they do not authorize real estate practice. Engaging in brokerage activity before license activation constitutes unlicensed practice, which is a violation of Arkansas license law.

Answer Options
A
Jennifer may represent the buyer because she has passed the exam and her broker has submitted the paperwork
B
Jennifer may represent the buyer only if her designated broker is physically present at all meetings
C
Jennifer may not represent the buyer because her license has not yet been officially activated by AREC
D
Jennifer may represent the buyer in a limited capacity for 30 days while her license is being processed
