Maria completed her 72-hour pre-license education and passed the Missouri real estate exam. She received her salesperson license and was affiliated with Apex Realty. Three months later, Maria decides to leave Apex Realty and has not yet found a new sponsoring broker. Under Missouri law, which of the following best describes the status of her license?

Correct Answer

D) Her license is placed on inactive status and she may not engage in any licensed real estate activity until she affiliates with a new sponsoring broker

Under RSMo Chapter 339, a Missouri salesperson's license is issued to and held by the sponsoring broker. When a salesperson leaves a brokerage and has no new sponsoring broker, the license is placed on inactive status. The salesperson may not engage in any licensed real estate activity — including showing property, writing offers, or collecting compensation — until the license is transferred to and activated under a new sponsoring broker.

Answer Options
A
Her license remains active and she may practice independently as long as she notifies MREC within 10 days of leaving Apex Realty
B
Her license is revoked because a salesperson cannot exist without an affiliated broker under Missouri law
C
Her license is automatically transferred to MREC's custody and she may continue to practice independently for up to 30 days
D
Her license is placed on inactive status and she may not engage in any licensed real estate activity until she affiliates with a new sponsoring broker
