A Chicago real estate office loses its designated managing broker. The office manager asks whether the office may continue operating and, if so, what steps must be taken under the Illinois Real Estate License Act of 2000. Which statement is most accurate?

Correct Answer

A) The office may continue operating temporarily, but only if it promptly initiates the Department's temporary-practice request procedure following the loss of the designated managing broker.

Under 225 ILCS 454, Illinois law provides a temporary-practice request procedure that allows an office to continue operating after losing its designated managing broker, or after the death or disability of a self-sponsored managing broker. The request must be submitted to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation promptly; the office cannot simply continue operating without initiating this process.

Answer Options
A
The office may continue operating temporarily, but only if it promptly initiates the Department's temporary-practice request procedure following the loss of the designated managing broker.
B
The office may continue operating indefinitely without notifying the Department, provided at least one licensed broker remains physically present in the office.
C
The office must permanently close on the same day the designated managing broker is lost because no temporary-practice mechanism exists under Illinois law.
D
The office has 60 days to notify the Department before any restriction on operations takes effect.
