Practice Of Real EstateLicense LawMEDIUM

A Delaware real estate salesperson, Kevin, has his license suspended by the DREC for 90 days due to a trust account violation. During the suspension period, Kevin's broker, Lisa, asks Kevin to show properties to clients and assist with open houses, arguing that Kevin is still 'technically employed' by the brokerage. Which of the following is correct?

Correct Answer

D) Kevin may not perform any licensed real estate activities during the suspension period

A license suspension under 24 Del. C. Chapter 29 means that Kevin's authority to engage in any licensed real estate activity is temporarily withdrawn. Showing properties, hosting open houses, and assisting buyers or sellers all constitute licensed activities in Delaware. Performing these activities during a suspension would constitute practicing without a license, which is itself a separate violation that could result in further disciplinary action and possible license revocation.

Answer Options
A
Kevin may assist with open houses only, since that activity does not require a license in Delaware
B
Kevin may perform administrative tasks only, such as answering phones and filing paperwork
C
Kevin may continue working if Lisa files a written request for a temporary exemption with DREC
D
Kevin may not perform any licensed real estate activities during the suspension period
