A New Jersey licensee holds a broker-salesperson credential and plans to affiliate with a brokerage. Which statement about that license category is not true?

Correct Answer

C) A broker-salesperson may operate an independent brokerage using their own broker-level credentials.

The false statement is that a broker-salesperson may operate an independent brokerage. Under N.J.S.A. 45:15-1 et seq., a broker-salesperson, despite holding broker-level qualifications, is specifically prohibited from operating an independent brokerage. The broker-salesperson designation means the licensee has chosen to remain under the supervision of an employing broker. To operate independently, the licensee must change their license status to broker with the NJREC.

Answer Options
A
A broker-salesperson must be affiliated with and supervised by a licensed broker.
B
A broker-salesperson is eligible to manage a branch office on behalf of the employing broker.
C
A broker-salesperson may operate an independent brokerage using their own broker-level credentials.
D
A broker-salesperson has completed the same pre-licensure education requirements as a broker.
