Patricia holds a broker license and operates her own brokerage. She wants to also work part-time for another brokerage to gain experience in commercial real estate. What must she do?

Correct Answer

A) Apply for an additional broker licence for the other brokerage

Section 475.215(1) is the route: a licensed broker may be issued additional licences as a broker where it is clearly shown that they are necessary to the conduct of brokerage business and will not be used in a way that harms anyone. Other choices: the same subsection says additional licences may issue as a broker 'but not as a sales associate or as a broker associate', so registering as a broker associate is the one thing expressly ruled out; she does not have to close her own brokerage, which is what the multiple-licence provision exists to avoid; and the arrangement is permitted, so a flat no overstates the statute.

Answer Options
A
Apply for an additional broker licence for the other brokerage
B
Register as a broker associate with the other brokerage
C
Close her own brokerage before joining the other one
D
Nothing: this arrangement is not permitted in Florida at all
