A California broker's license is suspended by the DRE for trust fund violations. Under California law, what is the immediate effect on the salespersons associated with the broker?

Correct Answer

B) The salespersons cannot perform any licensed real estate activities until they transfer to another licensed broker

When the broker's license is suspended, the salespersons lose their ability to conduct real estate activities because they have no supervising broker. They must transfer their license to another active broker before resuming work.

B
The salespersons cannot perform any licensed real estate activities until they transfer to another licensed broker
C
The salespersons' licenses are automatically revoked as well
