Angela is a broker-associate in Arkansas. Her designated broker retires and closes the brokerage without arranging for Angela to transfer to another broker. Angela has several active listings and pending transactions. Under Arkansas Real Estate License Law, which of the following best describes Angela's legal status and obligations?

Correct Answer

D) Angela's license becomes inactive upon the closure of the brokerage, and she may not engage in brokerage activities until she affiliates with a new designated broker.

When a designated broker closes a brokerage or a broker-associate loses their supervising broker, the broker-associate's license becomes inactive because there is no longer an active designated broker under whom they can practice. Under Arkansas Real Estate License Law, a broker-associate must be affiliated with an active designated broker to engage in brokerage activities. Angela must affiliate with a new designated broker and have her license reactivated by AREC before she may continue any real estate activities.

Answer Options
A
Angela automatically becomes a designated broker upon her supervising broker's retirement.
B
Angela may continue to service her listings independently until they expire, because her broker-associate license remains valid.
C
Angela may continue working under the authority of the retired broker's license for up to 90 days.
D
Angela's license becomes inactive upon the closure of the brokerage, and she may not engage in brokerage activities until she affiliates with a new designated broker.
