Practice Of Real EstateLicense LawHARD

An experienced real estate professional from Ohio, where she held a salesperson license, has relocated to Indiana and obtained an Indiana Broker license through reciprocity. She assumes that her Indiana Broker license gives her the same rights as a broker license in Ohio, where brokers can operate independently. Which of the following correctly describes her rights under Indiana law?

Correct Answer

B) She is incorrect; Indiana's Broker license is an entry-level license requiring affiliation with a Managing Broker, not independent practice.

Under IC 25-34.1, Indiana's Broker license is an entry-level license that requires affiliation with a Managing Broker, regardless of how the license was obtained (original exam or reciprocity). Indiana's use of the term 'Broker' for its entry-level license is a major source of confusion for licensees coming from other states. The Ohio broker license allows independent practice; Indiana's Broker license does not. She must affiliate with an Indiana Managing Broker to practice legally.

Answer Options
A
She is correct; Indiana's Broker license grants the same independent practice rights as a broker license in Ohio.
B
She is incorrect; Indiana's Broker license is an entry-level license requiring affiliation with a Managing Broker, not independent practice.
C
She is correct because reciprocity agreements preserve the licensee's original state practice rights in Indiana.
D
She is incorrect, but she may operate independently for one year under a reciprocity grace period before affiliating with a Managing Broker.
