Tom is a licensed Oklahoma Broker who operates his own brokerage. He wants to hire his nephew, who has no real estate license, to show properties to prospective buyers and answer their questions while Tom is busy. Under Oklahoma law, which of the following is true regarding the nephew's activities?

Correct Answer

C) The nephew may not show properties or negotiate with buyers on behalf of the brokerage without holding an Oklahoma real estate license

Under Title 59 O.S. § 858-102, showing properties to prospective buyers and answering their questions about the property constitutes real estate brokerage activity that requires a license. An unlicensed individual, even if working under a licensed Broker, may not perform licensable activities. Tom's nephew must obtain an Oklahoma real estate license before he can legally show properties or engage with buyers about real estate matters on behalf of the brokerage.

Answer Options
A
The nephew may show properties and answer buyer questions because he is acting under Tom's direct supervision as a licensed Broker
B
The nephew may perform these activities only if Tom registers him with OREC as an unlicensed assistant within 10 days
C
The nephew may not show properties or negotiate with buyers on behalf of the brokerage without holding an Oklahoma real estate license
D
The nephew may show properties but may not answer any buyer questions, as showing properties is an administrative task that does not require a license
