James holds an Associate Broker license in Utah and works at Sunrise Realty under Principal Broker Sandra. A client asks James whether he is a licensed broker. Which of the following statements is MOST accurate regarding James's license status?

Correct Answer

A) James holds a broker-level license but has chosen to affiliate with a Principal Broker rather than operate independently

Under Utah Code Ann. § 61-2f, an Associate Broker has fully met all requirements for a broker license — including education, experience, and examination — and holds a broker-level license. The choice to affiliate with a Principal Broker is voluntary, not a temporary or provisional status. James is a fully licensed broker who simply chooses not to operate his own brokerage.
