Sandra holds a Broker Associate license in Oklahoma and works under Broker Tom at ABC Realty. Sandra's friend asks her to handle a transaction independently while Tom is on vacation. Sandra believes that because she holds a Broker-level license, she can legally act independently for this transaction. Which of the following best describes Sandra's situation under Oklahoma law?

Correct Answer

D) Sandra may not act independently because a Broker Associate must remain affiliated with and supervised by a licensed Broker

Under Title 59 O.S. § 858-102 and § 858-301, a Broker Associate in Oklahoma holds a broker-level license but has chosen to work under the supervision of another licensed Broker. Unlike an independent Broker, a Broker Associate cannot operate independently and must remain affiliated with a sponsoring Broker. Sandra's belief that she can act independently is incorrect under Oklahoma law.

Answer Options
A
Sandra may act independently because her Broker Associate license grants her the same authority as a licensed Broker
B
Sandra may act independently for a single transaction as long as she discloses her Broker Associate status to the client
C
Sandra may act independently only if she obtains written permission from OREC before Tom's vacation
D
Sandra may not act independently because a Broker Associate must remain affiliated with and supervised by a licensed Broker
