Broker Chen operates a real estate office in Tulsa and is considering hiring Tom, who holds an active Sales Associate license, and Lisa, who holds an active Broker Associate license. Under Oklahoma licensing law, which of the following correctly describes the distinction between Tom's and Lisa's license categories?

Correct Answer

B) Tom, as a Sales Associate, must work under Broker Chen's supervision, while Lisa, as a Broker Associate, holds a broker-level license but has chosen to work under another broker rather than operating independently

Oklahoma recognizes three license categories: Sales Associate, Broker Associate, and Broker. A Sales Associate (like Tom) must work under the supervision of a licensed broker. A Broker Associate (like Lisa) has met the higher education and experience requirements to qualify for a broker-level license but has chosen to affiliate with and work under another broker rather than opening an independent brokerage. This is a key Oklahoma-specific distinction in license categories.

Answer Options
A
Tom and Lisa hold equivalent licenses; the difference is only in title, and both may independently list and sell properties without supervision
B
Tom, as a Sales Associate, must work under Broker Chen's supervision, while Lisa, as a Broker Associate, holds a broker-level license but has chosen to work under another broker rather than operating independently
C
Lisa's Broker Associate license allows her to operate her own independent brokerage while also working for Broker Chen on a part-time basis
D
Tom may list properties independently but must refer all negotiations to Broker Chen, while Lisa may handle all aspects of a transaction independently
