Lisa is a licensed Utah Sales Agent who recently passed the broker examination. She wants to immediately open her own property management company in Utah. Under Utah Code Ann. § 61-2f, which of the following accurately describes what Lisa must do before she can legally operate this company?

Correct Answer

A) Lisa must apply for and receive a Principal Broker license from the Utah Division of Real Estate before operating her own property management company

Under Utah Code Ann. § 61-2f, property management activities (including leasing, renting, or managing real property for others for compensation) constitute real estate brokerage activity in Utah. To legally operate a property management company, Lisa must hold a Principal Broker license — not merely pass the broker exam. Passing the exam is a prerequisite for applying for the broker license, but the license itself must be issued by the Utah Division of Real Estate before she can legally operate. She must apply for and receive the Principal Broker license.
