Under Georgia license law, which of the following statements about activating a new salesperson license is correct?

Correct Answer

A) A salesperson license is not lawfully active for brokerage practice until it is placed with a sponsoring broker.

Under O.C.G.A. § 43-40-18, a salesperson's license must be placed with and held by a sponsoring broker before the licensee may lawfully engage in any brokerage activity. The sponsoring broker relationship is a prerequisite to active status, not merely an administrative formality. Without broker placement, the license exists but is inactive for practice purposes.

Answer Options
A
A salesperson license is not lawfully active for brokerage practice until it is placed with a sponsoring broker.
B
A broker may waive the state application steps if the new salesperson already works in the office as an unlicensed assistant.
C
A salesperson license becomes active automatically upon passing the state examination, regardless of broker affiliation.
D
A newly licensed salesperson may practice independently for up to 90 days while seeking a sponsoring broker.
