For the Utah state salesperson exam under Real Estate Office Procedures, a principal broker wants to conduct Utah real estate business from a brokerage office other than the main office. What is the best answer?

Correct Answer

A) The broker must register the branch office with the Division, and the branch office must operate under the same business name as the principal brokerage

R162-2f-205 requires registration before operating through a branch office and requires a branch office to operate under the same business name as the principal brokerage. Source basis: Utah Administrative Code R162-2f-205, checked 2026-04-30: a principal broker may not engage in brokerage activity through an entity, branch office, assumed name, or separate property management company without first registering it with the Division; a branch office must operate under the same business name as the principal brokerage and identify the supervising branch broker.
