Rachel is a licensed Connecticut real estate salesperson whose license is currently on inactive status. Her neighbor asks her to help him find a buyer for his commercial property and offers to pay her a referral fee. Under Connecticut law, which of the following is true?

Correct Answer

C) Rachel may not perform any real estate brokerage activities or accept any compensation while her license is inactive

Under CGS Chapter 392, a salesperson with an inactive license is not authorized to perform any real estate brokerage activities, including referrals, and may not receive any compensation related to real estate transactions. An inactive license means the licensee has no active broker affiliation, and all brokerage activities are prohibited until the license is reactivated with an affiliated broker.

Answer Options
A
Rachel may accept the referral fee because referral activities do not require an active license
B
Rachel may accept the referral fee if she discloses her inactive license status to both parties
C
Rachel may not perform any real estate brokerage activities or accept any compensation while her license is inactive
D
Rachel may accept the referral fee if it is paid through a licensed broker as a courtesy referral
