Patricia recently passed the Connecticut real estate salesperson exam. She submits her license application to CREC but does not yet have a sponsoring broker. CREC issues her a license. What is the status of Patricia's license at this point?

Correct Answer

B) Inactive — Patricia holds a valid license but cannot engage in brokerage activity until she affiliates with a licensed broker

Connecticut allows CREC to issue a salesperson license that is placed on inactive status when no sponsoring broker is affiliated at the time of issuance. Patricia holds a valid Connecticut license, but it is inactive, meaning she cannot perform any real estate brokerage activities. Once she affiliates with a licensed Connecticut broker and completes the transfer process, her license can be activated and she may begin practicing.

Answer Options
A
Active — Patricia may begin practicing real estate immediately and find a broker within 60 days
B
Inactive — Patricia holds a valid license but cannot engage in brokerage activity until she affiliates with a licensed broker
C
Provisional — Patricia may practice under CREC's direct supervision until she finds a sponsoring broker
D
Void — a license cannot be issued to a salesperson without a sponsoring broker on the application
