Under Tennessee's three-tier real estate licensing system, which of the following statements about the Broker-in-Charge (BIC) designation is NOT accurate?

Correct Answer

C) Any licensed Affiliate Broker may apply for the BIC designation after two years of experience

An Affiliate Broker cannot apply for the Broker-in-Charge designation. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-13-301, the BIC designation is only available to licensees who already hold a Broker license (not an Affiliate Broker license). The path is: Affiliate Broker (minimum 3 years) → Broker license → then BIC designation. An Affiliate Broker, regardless of years of experience, is not eligible to apply directly for the BIC designation.

Answer Options
A
A BIC designation is required to supervise Affiliate Brokers working in a real estate firm
B
A licensee must hold a Broker license before applying for the BIC designation
C
Any licensed Affiliate Broker may apply for the BIC designation after two years of experience
D
A BIC is responsible for the trust account management and supervision of affiliated licensees
