Patricia holds an active Missouri salesperson license affiliated with Riverfront Realty. She decides to take a sabbatical from real estate and wants to keep her license without being affiliated with a broker. She contacts MREC and asks about placing her license on inactive status. Which of the following correctly describes the effect of inactive status on Patricia's license under Missouri law?

Correct Answer

B) Patricia's license is placed on inactive status, and she may not engage in any licensed real estate activity until she reactivates by affiliating with a sponsoring broker

Under RSMo Chapter 339 and MREC rules, a Missouri salesperson may place their license on inactive status, which suspends the right to perform any licensed real estate activity. While on inactive status, the licensee cannot show property, negotiate contracts, collect compensation, or perform any act requiring a license. To reactivate, the licensee must affiliate with a licensed sponsoring broker and complete any applicable continuing education requirements. The license does not expire solely due to inactive status as long as renewal fees are paid.

Answer Options
A
Patricia may continue to perform real estate activities for personal transactions only while on inactive status
B
Patricia's license is placed on inactive status, and she may not engage in any licensed real estate activity until she reactivates by affiliating with a sponsoring broker
C
Patricia's license is automatically revoked after 90 days of inactive status if she does not affiliate with a new broker
D
Patricia may perform limited real estate activities, such as referring clients, while on inactive status as long as she does not collect a commission
