Utah license law has three levels of licensure. What are they?
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Sales agent, associate broker, principal broker
Associate broker and principal broker
This answer omits the sales agent tier entirely, which is the foundational entry-level license and the most commonly held license in Utah — leaving it out misrepresents the statutory structure under Utah Code § 61-2f.
Sales broker and broker in trust
'Sales broker' and 'broker in trust' are not recognized license categories under Utah law; these terms conflate terminology from other states or informal usage and have no legal standing in Utah's licensing framework.
Agent and broker
Simply 'agent and broker' describes a two-tier system common in some other states but does not reflect Utah's three-tier structure; this oversimplification would be legally inaccurate and fails to account for the associate broker designation.
Why is this correct?
Utah Code § 61-2f establishes exactly three license categories: sales agent, associate broker, and principal broker. A sales agent is the entry-level license requiring 120 hours of pre-license education; an associate broker has completed broker-level education but works under a principal broker; and a principal broker holds the highest license and is legally responsible for the brokerage's operations and trust accounts. Answer A correctly names all three tiers in their proper hierarchical order as defined by Utah statute.
