Robert is a Colorado broker associate who wants to change his employing broker. He has accepted a position with a new firm and his current employing broker has signed his release. Under CREC rules, what must Robert do to legally begin working at the new firm?

Correct Answer

A) Robert must wait for CREC to process his transfer and issue a new license before he may conduct any licensed activities at the new firm.

Under CREC rules and C.R.S. § 12-10-201 et seq., a broker associate's license is held by the employing broker. To legally transfer to a new employing broker, Robert must submit the required transfer application to CREC and wait for CREC to process the transfer and issue an updated license reflecting the new employing broker. Conducting licensed activities before the transfer is officially processed is not permitted.

Answer Options
A
Robert must wait for CREC to process his transfer and issue a new license before he may conduct any licensed activities at the new firm.
B
Robert must complete a 10-hour transition course approved by CREC before transferring his license to a new employing broker.
C
Robert may begin working at the new firm immediately upon receiving his release, as long as he notifies CREC within 30 days.
D
Robert must submit a transfer application to CREC and pay the required fee; he may begin working at the new firm once the transfer is submitted and acknowledged.
