Sandra holds a Kansas broker license and wishes to open her own independent real estate firm. Under the Kansas Real Estate Brokers' and Salespersons' License Act, which of the following statements correctly describes Sandra's authority?

Correct Answer

A) Sandra may open her own firm and operate independently, as a broker license in Kansas authorizes independent practice.
