David is a licensed Michigan real estate salesperson at Sunrise Realty. He wants to earn additional income by managing rental properties for several landlords on a part-time basis, collecting rents, and coordinating maintenance. Under Michigan law, which of the following statements is correct regarding David's ability to perform these property management activities?

Correct Answer

C) David's property management activities must be conducted through his employing broker at Sunrise Realty, as these activities require a real estate license and must be supervised by the broker.

Under MCL 339.2501 and 339.2512, property management activities—including collecting rents, negotiating leases, and coordinating maintenance for compensation—constitute real estate activities requiring a license in Michigan. A salesperson may not perform these activities independently; they must be conducted under the supervision of and through the employing broker. David cannot conduct property management business separately from Sunrise Realty while holding a salesperson license affiliated with that broker.

Answer Options
A
David may perform property management activities without a real estate license because property management is exempt from Michigan licensing requirements.
B
David may perform property management activities independently under his salesperson license as long as he discloses this to Sunrise Realty.
C
David's property management activities must be conducted through his employing broker at Sunrise Realty, as these activities require a real estate license and must be supervised by the broker.
D
David must obtain a separate Michigan property management license from LARA-BPL before he may manage rental properties.
