Tom is a licensed Nebraska salesperson whose qualifying broker, Linda, has just retired and closed her brokerage. Tom has not yet found a new qualifying broker to affiliate with. Under Nebraska law, what is the status of Tom's license and what must he do to resume active practice?

Correct Answer

C) Tom's license becomes inactive, and he must affiliate with a new qualifying broker and have his license transferred before resuming active practice

Under the Nebraska Real Estate License Act, a salesperson's license is tied to their qualifying broker. When a qualifying broker ceases to operate, the salesperson's license becomes inactive. An inactive licensee may not conduct real estate activities that require a license. To resume active practice, Tom must affiliate with a new qualifying broker and have his license officially transferred to that broker through the NREC. Until that transfer is completed, Tom cannot lawfully engage in licensed real estate activities.

Answer Options
A
Tom's license is automatically revoked, and he must reapply and retake the state examination before practicing again
B
Tom's license becomes inactive, and he may continue to conduct limited real estate activities while searching for a new broker
C
Tom's license becomes inactive, and he must affiliate with a new qualifying broker and have his license transferred before resuming active practice
D
Tom's license remains active for 90 days, during which he may conduct real estate activities independently while finding a new broker
