Greg is a licensed Kansas salesperson affiliated with Metro Realty. His sponsoring broker, Linda, retires and closes Metro Realty without transferring Greg's license to a new broker. Under Kansas law, what is the immediate effect on Greg's license, and what must Greg do to resume practicing real estate?

Correct Answer

B) Greg's license becomes inactive, and he must affiliate with a new licensed Kansas broker and notify KREC before resuming practice.

Under K.S.A. 58-3039, a Kansas salesperson's license is tied to affiliation with a sponsoring broker. When the sponsoring broker ceases to hold an active license or closes the firm, the salesperson's license becomes inactive. Greg cannot engage in any real estate brokerage activities until he affiliates with a new licensed Kansas broker and the new broker notifies KREC of the affiliation. There is no grace period for independent practice.

Answer Options
A
Greg's license automatically transfers to the nearest KREC-approved broker; he may continue practicing without interruption.
B
Greg's license becomes inactive, and he must affiliate with a new licensed Kansas broker and notify KREC before resuming practice.
C
Greg's license is automatically revoked, and he must reapply and retake the salesperson examination to obtain a new license.
D
Greg may continue practicing independently for up to 30 days while he arranges affiliation with a new broker.
