Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

Sales agent, associate broker, principal broker

Correct Answer
B

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.

C

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.

D

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.
