Carlos holds an active real estate broker's license in Connecticut and also holds an active salesperson license in New York. He wants to assist a Connecticut client in purchasing a property located in New York. Under Connecticut and New York licensing laws, which of the following correctly describes Carlos's authority?

Correct Answer

A) Carlos may represent the buyer in New York using his New York salesperson license, but any compensation must flow through a New York broker

Carlos holds a salesperson license in New York, which means he is authorized to perform real estate activities in New York only under the supervision of a New York broker. His Connecticut broker's license authorizes him to act as a broker in Connecticut, but does not grant him broker-level authority in New York. In New York, he must operate under his salesperson license and receive compensation through a New York broker, consistent with New York licensing law.

Answer Options
A
Carlos may represent the buyer in New York using his New York salesperson license, but any compensation must flow through a New York broker
B
Carlos may represent the buyer in New York using his Connecticut broker's license without restriction because he holds a broker license
C
Carlos may represent the buyer in Connecticut only, and must refer the New York portion to a New York licensee
D
Carlos may represent the buyer in New York using his Connecticut broker's license through reciprocity
