Laura holds a Tennessee Affiliate Broker license and works for Broker Dan's firm. Laura wants to simultaneously work part-time for another firm owned by Broker Susan. Under Tennessee law, which of the following accurately describes whether this is permitted?

Correct Answer

B) Laura may not hold an active license under more than one Broker at the same time in Tennessee.

Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-13-301 and TREC rules, an Affiliate Broker may only be affiliated with and work under one licensed Broker at a time. Tennessee does not permit an Affiliate Broker to hold an active license under multiple Brokers simultaneously. If Laura wants to work for Susan's firm, she must transfer her license from Dan's firm to Susan's firm, or choose one firm exclusively.

Answer Options
A
Laura may work for both firms simultaneously as long as both Brokers provide written consent.
B
Laura may not hold an active license under more than one Broker at the same time in Tennessee.
C
Laura may work for both firms as long as she discloses the dual affiliation to all clients.
D
Laura may work for both firms because Tennessee permits multi-firm affiliation for Affiliate Brokers.
