Elena, a Connecticut licensed salesperson, recently left Broker A's firm and joined Broker B's firm. She wants to begin working with clients at Broker B's office immediately. Under Connecticut license law, when may Elena legally begin performing real estate activities for Broker B?

Correct Answer

C) Elena may begin only after Broker B has notified CREC of the affiliation change and the transfer has been processed.

Under CGS § 20-312 and Connecticut license regulations, a salesperson's license is held under a specific supervising broker. When a salesperson changes brokers, the new broker must notify CREC and the transfer must be officially processed before the salesperson may lawfully perform real estate activities under the new broker. Acting before the transfer is processed constitutes unlicensed activity.

Answer Options
A
Elena may begin immediately upon signing an independent contractor agreement with Broker B.
B
Elena may begin immediately because her salesperson license remains valid regardless of broker affiliation.
C
Elena may begin only after Broker B has notified CREC of the affiliation change and the transfer has been processed.
D
Elena may begin after a mandatory 30-day waiting period following her departure from Broker A's firm.
