Chen is a licensed Washington broker who wants to upgrade to a Managing Broker license. He has been actively licensed as a broker for two and a half years. He has completed the required 90 additional clock hours of Managing Broker education. Can Chen apply for his Managing Broker license now?

Correct Answer

D) No, because Chen has not yet met the minimum three years of active broker experience required for the Managing Broker upgrade

Under RCW 18.85, a broker must have a minimum of three years of active experience as a licensed Washington broker before being eligible to upgrade to a Managing Broker license. Chen has only two and a half years of experience, which falls short of the three-year requirement. Even though he has completed the required 90 clock hours of Managing Broker education, the experience requirement is a separate and mandatory prerequisite that cannot be waived.

Answer Options
A
Yes, because completing the 90 clock hours of Managing Broker education is the only upgrade requirement
B
Yes, because two and a half years of experience combined with the education requirement satisfies all DOL criteria
C
No, because Chen must also pass a separate Managing Broker examination before applying
D
No, because Chen has not yet met the minimum three years of active broker experience required for the Managing Broker upgrade
