Correct Answer

B) The transfer requires the new broker-in-charge to notify the SCREC and the salesperson's license must be reissued under the new BIC before she may practice

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 40-57-360 and SCREC procedures, a salesperson's license is issued in connection with a specific broker-in-charge. When transferring to a new brokerage, the new BIC must notify the SCREC of the affiliation change and the license must be properly reissued or updated to reflect the new BIC before the salesperson may engage in licensed activities under the new broker. The salesperson cannot practice for the new firm until the SCREC has been properly notified and the license reflects the new affiliation.

The salesperson may begin working for Broker XYZ immediately upon giving verbal notice to both brokers

The transfer requires the new broker-in-charge to notify the SCREC and the salesperson's license must be reissued under the new BIC before she may practice
