If a broker's license is revoked, what happens to the licenses of their affiliated sales associates?

When a broker's license is revoked, the licenses of their affiliated sales associates are affected in a specific manner. In this scenario, the correct outcome is that the licenses are forwarded to the commission and must be either transferred to a new broker or placed on inactive status. This procedure is in place to ensure that sales associates are not left without proper supervision or an active employment situation in the real estate market.

Transferring the license to a different broker allows the sales associates to continue their practice without interruption, assuming they find a new brokerage within the appropriate timeframe. Alternatively, placing the license on inactive status ensures that the associates' licenses remain valid but inactive, preventing any unauthorized real estate activity while waiting for the situation to be resolved. This established protocol ensures protection for both the sales associates and the consumers they serve.
