Tom is a licensed real estate salesperson in Connecticut. His supervising broker, ABC Realty, closes its business and surrenders its broker license. What is the immediate effect on Tom's salesperson license?

Correct Answer

D) Tom's license becomes inactive and he cannot practice until affiliated with a new licensed broker

Under Connecticut law, a salesperson license is dependent on affiliation with a licensed broker. When the sponsoring broker's license is surrendered or revoked, the salesperson's license becomes inactive. Tom cannot engage in any real estate brokerage activities until he affiliates with a new Connecticut-licensed broker and has his license reactivated under that broker.

Answer Options
A
Tom's license is permanently revoked because his sponsoring broker is no longer licensed
B
Tom's license automatically transfers to the nearest licensed brokerage in his county
C
Tom may continue practicing independently for up to 90 days while he finds a new broker
D
Tom's license becomes inactive and he cannot practice until affiliated with a new licensed broker
