Practice Of Real EstateLicense LawHARD

A Montana real estate broker is found guilty by the MBRR of misrepresenting material facts to a buyer in a residential transaction. The MBRR has revoked the broker's license. The broker immediately applies for a new Montana real estate license. Under Montana law, which of the following is most likely?

Correct Answer

A) The broker's application for a new license will be denied or subject to MBRR review, as prior revocation is grounds for denial of a new license.

Under MCA Title 37, Chapter 51, a prior license revocation is a ground for denial of a subsequent license application. The MBRR has authority to deny a new license application from a person whose previous license was revoked for disciplinary reasons. The Board will review the application and circumstances, and approval is not automatic. A revocation for misrepresentation is a serious violation that will heavily weigh against issuance of a new license.

Answer Options
A
The broker's application for a new license will be denied or subject to MBRR review, as prior revocation is grounds for denial of a new license.
B
The broker may apply for a salesperson license immediately, as the revocation only prohibits holding a broker license.
C
The broker may immediately apply for and receive a new license because revocation only applies to the current license period.
D
The broker must wait at least 90 days after revocation before applying for a new license.
