Greg is a licensed real estate agent in Texas and wants to obtain an Arkansas license. He contacts AREC and learns that Arkansas has a reciprocity agreement with Texas. Greg has held his Texas license for four years and has never been subject to disciplinary action. After obtaining his Arkansas license through reciprocity, Greg wants to practice at the highest level possible without opening his own Arkansas brokerage. Which Arkansas license category best describes the highest level Greg could hold while still working under an Arkansas designated broker?

Correct Answer

A) Broker-associate, if Greg also meets Arkansas broker-level education and experience requirements

Under Arkansas law, the highest license category that allows practice under a designated broker's supervision (without independent brokerage authority) is the broker-associate. However, Greg currently holds a salesperson/agent-level license in Texas, not a broker license. To qualify as a broker-associate in Arkansas, Greg would need to meet Arkansas's broker-level education and experience requirements in addition to any reciprocity provisions. If he meets those requirements, broker-associate is the correct category; if not, he would enter at the real estate agent level through reciprocity.

Answer Options
A
Broker-associate, if Greg also meets Arkansas broker-level education and experience requirements
B
Designated broker, because his four years of Texas experience automatically qualifies him
C
Real estate agent, because reciprocity only grants entry-level licensure regardless of out-of-state experience
D
Senior broker-associate, a special reciprocity category for experienced out-of-state licensees
