Diane is a newly licensed Oklahoma Sales Associate who has just passed her state exam. Her supervising broker, Robert, asks her to independently negotiate a commercial lease on behalf of a client without his involvement. Under Oklahoma license law, which of the following best describes this situation?

Correct Answer

D) This is impermissible because a Sales Associate must work under a licensed Broker and cannot independently operate

Under Title 59 O.S. § 858-301, an Oklahoma Sales Associate license authorizes the holder to perform real estate activities only under the supervision of a licensed Broker. A Sales Associate cannot independently negotiate contracts, leases, or any real estate transaction — all such activities must be conducted through and under the supervision of the employing Broker. The license category in Oklahoma is 'Sales Associate,' not 'Salesperson,' and independence of operation is expressly prohibited.

Answer Options
A
This is impermissible only if the lease term exceeds one year
B
This is permissible because Diane holds an active Oklahoma license and may negotiate leases independently
C
This is permissible only if Diane has completed 90 hours of commercial real estate coursework
D
This is impermissible because a Sales Associate must work under a licensed Broker and cannot independently operate
