Rachel holds a Utah Sales Agent license and has completed all requirements to become a broker. She passes the broker examination but decides she does not want the responsibility of running her own brokerage. She prefers to continue working at her current firm under its Principal Broker. Which license should Rachel obtain, and what is the practical effect of that license?

Correct Answer

B) She should obtain an Associate Broker license; she holds full broker-level credentials but voluntarily works under a Principal Broker

Under Utah Code Ann. § 61-2f, the Associate Broker license is precisely the category for Rachel's situation. Having passed the broker examination and met all broker-level requirements, she qualifies for and should obtain an Associate Broker license. This license confirms her full broker-level competency while allowing her to remain affiliated with and work under her current Principal Broker. She gains broker credentials without the obligation to manage a brokerage.

Answer Options
A
She should obtain a Principal Broker license; she can then supervise other agents at the firm while remaining under the firm's ownership structure
B
She should obtain an Associate Broker license; she holds full broker-level credentials but voluntarily works under a Principal Broker
C
She should retain her Sales Agent license; upgrading is unnecessary if she does not plan to open her own brokerage
D
She should obtain a Designated Broker license; this Utah category is for brokers who work within an existing firm without managing it
