Salesperson Marcus Webb has been working under broker Linda Frost for three years. Marcus recently passed his broker's exam and wants to begin operating independently. Under Missouri law, what must Marcus do before he can legally practice real estate as a broker?

Correct Answer

B) Obtain a Missouri broker license issued in his own name and establish or affiliate with a brokerage

Under RSMo Chapter 339, a salesperson who passes the broker examination must obtain a Missouri broker license issued in their own name before practicing as a broker. Unlike a salesperson license (which is issued to the sponsoring broker), a broker license is issued to the individual and allows independent practice or affiliation with another brokerage. Simply passing the exam does not activate broker status.

Answer Options
A
Notify MREC in writing of his intent to operate independently within 30 days of passing the exam
B
Obtain a Missouri broker license issued in his own name and establish or affiliate with a brokerage
C
Complete an additional 24 hours of continuing education approved by MREC before activating the broker license
D
Receive written authorization from his current sponsoring broker Linda Frost to operate independently
