Broker Johnson's Oklahoma broker license was revoked by OREC following a finding of misrepresentation. Three Sales Associates were working under Broker Johnson at the time of the revocation. Which of the following best describes the immediate effect on the Sales Associates' licenses?

Correct Answer

D) The Sales Associates' licenses become inactive upon the broker's revocation, and they must affiliate with a new licensed broker to reactivate their licenses

Under Oklahoma law, a Sales Associate's license is tied to their sponsoring broker. When a broker's license is revoked, the Sales Associates affiliated with that broker lose their active status because they no longer have a valid sponsoring broker. Their licenses become inactive, and they must promptly affiliate with a new licensed broker to reactivate their licenses and resume practicing real estate. The Sales Associates are not themselves revoked unless OREC finds independent grounds for disciplinary action against them.

Answer Options
A
The Sales Associates' licenses are suspended for 90 days as a penalty for failing to supervise Broker Johnson's conduct
B
The Sales Associates may continue to practice independently for up to 60 days while they find a new sponsoring broker
C
The Sales Associates' licenses are automatically revoked along with Broker Johnson's license because they were operating under a revoked broker
D
The Sales Associates' licenses become inactive upon the broker's revocation, and they must affiliate with a new licensed broker to reactivate their licenses

Antitrust violations in real estate occur when competing brokerages or agents engage in practices that restrain trade, reduce competition, or harm consumers through collusion. These violations are governed by the Sherman Antitrust Act and can result in severe penalties.

Broker supervision is the legal obligation of a designated or managing broker to oversee and be accountable for the real estate activities of all salespersons and associate brokers operating under their license.

Commingling is the illegal act of mixing client funds with a broker's personal or business operating funds, while conversion is the unauthorized use of client funds for the broker's own benefit. Both are serious violations that can result in license revocation.
