Sandra holds a Nevada broker-salesperson license and is affiliated with Broker Davis. Broker Davis decides to close his brokerage and retire. If Sandra wants to continue practicing real estate, which of the following statements is most accurate under Nevada law?

Correct Answer

B) Sandra must place her license on inactive status and cannot practice until she affiliates with a new broker or obtains a broker license

Under NRS Chapter 645, a broker-salesperson license requires affiliation with a supervising broker. When that broker ceases operations, the broker-salesperson cannot practice independently. Sandra must either affiliate with a new qualifying broker or apply to upgrade to a full broker license. Until one of those steps is completed, her license must be placed on inactive status and she cannot engage in licensed real estate activity.

Answer Options
A
Sandra's broker-salesperson license automatically converts to a broker license, allowing her to open her own office immediately
B
Sandra must place her license on inactive status and cannot practice until she affiliates with a new broker or obtains a broker license
C
Sandra may continue to practice independently for up to 90 days while she finds a new broker or applies for a broker license
D
Sandra must surrender her license and re-apply as a salesperson before eventually qualifying as a broker
