Brooke is a licensed Sales Agent at Desert Sun Realty in Utah. Her Principal Broker, Tom, unexpectedly passes away. Under Utah Code Ann. § 61-2f, what happens to Brooke's ability to practice real estate immediately following Tom's death?

Correct Answer

A) Brooke's license becomes inactive and she cannot perform real estate activities until she affiliates with a new Principal Broker

Under Utah Code Ann. § 61-2f, a Sales Agent's license is only active when affiliated with a licensed Principal Broker. When the Principal Broker dies (or the brokerage closes), the Sales Agent's license effectively becomes inactive. Brooke cannot legally perform any real estate brokerage activities until she affiliates her license with a new, active Principal Broker. The Utah Division of Real Estate must be notified of the change.

Answer Options
A
Brooke's license becomes inactive and she cannot perform real estate activities until she affiliates with a new Principal Broker
B
Brooke may continue to practice independently for up to 90 days while she searches for a new Principal Broker
C
Brooke automatically becomes the acting Principal Broker of Desert Sun Realty until a replacement is found
D
Brooke's license is automatically revoked and she must reapply for a new Sales Agent license
