Jacques holds a valid Louisiana broker license and has decided he prefers to focus on sales rather than managing a firm. He affiliates himself with Pelican Realty, a brokerage owned by another broker. Under Louisiana law, what is Jacques's correct license designation?

Correct Answer

B) Broker-associate, because he holds a broker license but works under another broker

Broker-associate, because he holds a broker license but works under another broker
