Robert is a licensed Indiana broker who has been working under Managing Broker Patricia for three years. Patricia decides to close her office and surrender her managing broker license. What must Robert do to continue practicing real estate in Indiana?

Correct Answer

B) Robert must affiliate his broker license with a new managing broker or have his license placed on inactive status

Under Indiana's two-tier license structure (IC 25-34.1), a Broker license must be affiliated with a Managing Broker to be active. When a managing broker closes their office or surrenders their license, the affiliated brokers do not lose their licenses but must either affiliate with a new managing broker or have their licenses placed on inactive status. They cannot practice until a new affiliation is established.

Answer Options
A
Robert's broker license automatically converts to a managing broker license so he can continue working independently
B
Robert must affiliate his broker license with a new managing broker or have his license placed on inactive status
C
Robert may continue practicing for up to 90 days without a managing broker while he searches for a new affiliation
D
Robert must reapply for a new broker license because his license is voided when his managing broker surrenders her license
